[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Quickie notes tonight.. As luck would have it, "Enterprise" is going to be showing opposite "24" this year, and I happen to consider the latter show worth wathing as it airs. So schmoo on that. Good choice, as this week was a fairly boring fluff episode with obvious lendings from "The Seven Samurai" and a bunch of "A-Team" episodes. The lack of significant depth this season continues to grate on me. -The planet this week is an arid place, and as such we get to see the gang in their desert outfits again. T'Pol comes along when they land, so she gets to be seen in ANOTHER skin-tight outfit. An awful white number this time. Sigh.. PLEASE, let's see T'Pol in some REAL CLOTHES!! Actresses can look just as sexy, if not more so, in LESS FORM-FITTING OUTFITS! -We're at a deuterium fueling station today. A Kretassan merchant (they must've become all nice-like since "Sickbay") told them where it was. Enterprise is short on fuel, having lost most of it a few weeks ago ("Dead Stop"). All they wanted was a few hundred liters regardless. -Um, which Pod was lost in "Desert Crossing", if any? Pod 1 was used for the descent. The pod is designed for 1/4 impulse, but Trip contends that he can squeeze a lil' more out of her. -The auto-suture staplegun that was seen in "Sickbay" is apparently a very expensive piece of equipment, according to the bumpies of the week. Phlox is still happy to give 'em one anyway. -Archer: "Deuterium is a highly-valuable commodity". Th'hell?! One wonders how the bumpies are making the stuff, and why they can't just set up shop on a more watery world to do so a heck of a lot easier. As it stands, the stuff this time seems an awful lot like oil. -Enterprise's sensors can make out a dozen Klingons on the incoming ship when it shows up. Is this a hiccup? We really haven't established the limits of certain aspects of 22nd century tech, but being able to scan specific lifesigns on a ship that just dropped out of warp feels awfully TNG to me. Strangely enough, the Klingons don't seem capable of returning the -New Klingon ship this week! It's a frieghter, looks REALLY Vor'Cha, and sports a bunch of deuterium tanks slung underneath. They also have transporter technology, and use it freely to beam themselves up and down. They're still no match for Enterprise. -If deuterium is do valuable, couldn't the bumpies trade some of it for some decent protecttion? Mercenaries, good sensors, maybe a ground-based artillery that can shoot down their freighter? -The bumpies' weapons include a smattering of stock prop guns, including a Bajoran phaser rifle, a TR-116/Breen rifle (!), possibly a Kazon gun and others. All of them are suitably dirtified. -Hoshi is cute when she's shooting things. T'pol is not as cute as a Vulcan martial arts teacher, and one wonders why she doesn't change our of her near-transparent white outfit when on Enterprise. Travis at least bothers to strip down to a thin white undershirt. :p -Vulcans are familiar with the bat'leth and mek'leth, the latter of which is described as a "two-proned dagger". I do believe Worf would feel insulted. The Klingons use bulkier disruptor pistols at least. Reed gets to use his plasma rifle. -As part of the "let's ditch the Klingons" plan, Archer gets the bumpies to move their whole town fifty meters away. Oddly enough, the Klingons still manage to beam down in EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE in town! How did they know to do this without realizing the town had moved? -Continuing on the T'pol thing, she looks WAY better in the more conventional outfit she adopts to blend in with the bumpies as she literally kicks Klingon ass.
