[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] I feel sick... I've lost all faith in ENT, period. Finally! A semi-respectable performance by Starfleet at responding to intruders in Sector 001! Duras is jumped minutes after attacking the NX-01. Of course, this is several weeks after the attack by the probe, so most of Starfleet's ships have probably been recalled and are just patrolling the star system with their fingers on their hair trigger. It's disappointing that Earth never invested in a planetary defense network, which might have reduced or eliminated that 7 million dead figure. Maybe this event pushed Earth into deploying the systems that were the grandfathers of the systems mentioned in ST:IV and DS9's "Paradise Lost". Frankly, the probe wasn't that impressive. It cut a really long line, but the line wasn't really all that wide. Not very impressed by the choice of target, and highly skeptical that it could have killed 7 million people by cutting a straight line that's probably less than a kilometer wide. A hell of a lot of ultra high density cities would have to have been lying in a straight line for it to accomplish that. Anyone wonder why the Xinidididinieneses didn't just bomb Earth? They could have done a lot more damage if they just packed the probe full of Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles with antimatter warheads. Off the shelve technology, those antimatter warheads seems to be... Photonic torpedoes... Yes ladies and gentlemen, they are indeed antimatter weaponary, capable of operating at warp! They even look exactly like TNG-era torpedoe casings! I think I'm gonna be sick! This show cannot possible get any worst, tech-wise! I mean, phase cannons? Photonic torpedoes? Who are they trying to fool with those pathetic names?! I hope B&B get some serious photonic sodomy! How many torpedoe launchers does that NX-01 have? Right now my count is 3 rear, and possibly 3 forward (it looked like the torpedoes that destroyed Duras's ship came from a location closer to the centerline of the NX than the spatial torpedoe launchers). Heeeeeeello 'Warship Enterprise'. Upgraded hull plating. How the heck does that work? If we assume the full plating are in fact the "run-charge-though-plate-to-make-it-stronger" type, then the entire external hull would have to have been re-plated. NX-01 gets ground troops, and another acknowledgement of the existence of a stand-alone military organization on Earth. So at this time, the defense of the planet is still handled by a separate military, versus later on, ex. TOS-era and after. I bet they will be armed and equiped and looks just like ordinary security officers, except they smile less. The warp 5 engine uses multiple antimatter injectors, which is rather strange, since from what we've seen and heard of the engine from previous episodes, there should be only one. If there are several, as in more than 3, they must be really small, if we assume those pylons going into the 'warp core' houses the injectors. NX-01 maintained warp 5 for [i]7[/i] weeks?!?! Considering that's like the maximum speed for the vessel, it's rather hard to believe. Most vessels we've seen could only maintain their top speed for hours at best. Those BoPs are too much like the ones found in TMP and after for my liking, but they could have been worst as well. The Klingons does have energy shielding after all, strong enough to stop maxed yield photon torpedoes if focused in one direction. ENT-era dock seems like a combination of Earth Station McKinly-type docks and TMP dry docks. Looks of latter, function of former. Did I mention I hate B&B? Did I mention I hate Vulcans? Their arrogance has reached a point beyond toleration. No race that holds logic so highly would act as foolishly as they have done for the past two season, especially in regards to their treatment of science. The Vulcans almost seem to shun exploration and discovery, and are stagnant. I wonder if the Vulcan Science Directory is a bunch of scientists, or a bunch of 17th Century Popists. I hope Phlox and Porthos goes crazy and kills everyone. Chef stays onboard. Duh. Can't lose the ship's Invisible Recurring Character. Or is that Mayweather? NX flies into a cloud and does a loop to get behind Duras's ship. I can't believe anyone would fall for that. Must be the script. Finally, I think B&B might be racists. They seem to believe that character traits can be passed down through genes. The traits of being incompetent, tratourous idiots is obviously coded into the genes of the Duras family. Did I miss anything? [/QB][/QUOTE]
