[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Yes it was. They blew out the port nacelle, the ship lost control and careened towards the sphere, and regained control JUST in time to right itself and barely scrape the surface. Quite impressive, and compared to earlier Treks, extravagant. Extravagant like the away mission to the dead ship. They took a LOT of time and resources to build an alien ship set (a corridor and half of the bridge), prosthetics for the dead aliens, and a lot of time and VFX to show them suiting up and going over to it, then walking around inside for three minutes, and back to debrief. Back in the day, you'd AT BEST have a supplemental log entry saying the gang went over, found a bunch of dead guys and downloaded some computer data, and then cut to everyone getting out of their EVA gear - done with the whole thing in a minute. Not that I didn't mind, and the sequence did add to the tension in this action-oriented episode, but IMO the time could have been better spent on some character development - espeically with Archer's off-the-wall antics. And back to the plasma rifles... I guess you could say that the MACOs can stun folks, but the phase pistols simplified it by having ONLY two settings instead of multiple settings or a dial or something. Then the military caught up. Oh, and no one noticed the suits used in "The Core", I see - seeing as they were barely visible in the foreground at all. I guess that means it's okay. :) Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
