[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Holy FRACKING FRICK, this was a good show! I had to watch the opening bit three times before I could move on, it was so excellent. Just look at the reactions of everyone to Earth blowing up - even the extras behind Archer. Beautiful, as with the rest of the episode.[/QUOTE]I hope that SOMEONE has a good digital feed and can give us some great screencaps for a change! ;) [QUOTE]-Note that during the attack, the huge-ass sphere jumps in AFTER the Reptilian ships. [/QUOTE]Considering the question of how the NX-01 made it from the Expanse back to Earth at Warp 1.7 with only one nacelle... perhaps they made use of one of those FTL portals that apparently exist? I was too stunned by the awesome effects to follow that I missed what the Death Star looked like as it jumped in -- was it the same transwarp-style effect as before? [QUOTE]-Ahh, I think the whole Xindi probe thing makes more sense now, given the big weapon's intended effect (and result!). The probe's beam obviously didn't blow up the planet; it's likely that its purpose was to test the conditions of the Earth's crust, atmosphere such that the big one can do the job right. They didn't want to simply raze the planet - they wanted to destroy it outright.[/QUOTE]Yeah, but why the heck would they need to know that kind of information? Like the original Death Star, all they've got to do is pump in enough energy to blow the planet apart -- there's nothing that special about Earth to make them need that kind of info... right? [QUOTE]-The Reptilians' armor seems to be less effective this time... It takes a single shot to take one down.[/QUOTE]I was actually more disappointed that they didn't just disable the frelling weapons with that delta radiation gimmick that they mentioned last week! But anyway, the ENT crew had the chance to examine Xindi armor thanks to the corpse they got from the raid in "Rajin." Obviously they adapted. I consider that a GOOD point! ;) [QUOTE]-With one warp nacelle, they can manage a plodding warp 1.7. I think this is the first real evidence that starships CAN function with one nacelle lost, albeit at severely reduced speed.[/QUOTE]Something just occurred to me... aren't the NX-01's warp coils supposed to be ASYMMETRICAL? As in, they require both nacelles to form a proper warp field? Based on what we know of warp fields -- from Okudagrams and the like -- I find it hard to believe that it'd be that simple... [QUOTE]-CETI EELS, man! Wouldn't this be a fricking PROBLEM here keeping people up at night?[/QUOTE]Well, since the eels managed to survive in the aftermath, I would venture to guess that they weren't native to the area of the planet where the settlements got planted. Maybe they like to hang out in the deserts instead... [QUOTE]-I think there were at least a couple ships that were new in the ragtag fleet, though the known freighters and research ship we've seen seem curiously absent.[/QUOTE]I'm 99% positive that I saw at least one Y-class freighter in the first "rag-tag fugitive fleet" scene. Not sure about the others... here's praying for good screencaps! ;) [QUOTE]-Speaking of which, Rudy Ransom discovered the Yridians, eh? Hehe.[/QUOTE]LMAO, I completely forgot about that! And "Equinox" happened right in the middle of Braga's tenure as Voyager EP, too! Go figure... :rolleyes: [QUOTE]-The other Starfleet ships left over were Intrepid and one of the smaller ships. They seemed in pretty good repair... Would they have gone to other systems to stay that way?[/QUOTE]Assuming they could get the basic materials necessary, I'd guess they would've had sufficient repair setups right in the system. Tucker commented that they didn't have much antimatter, which would probably be (relatively) easy to get a hold of if they went to another system... I think that they were probably just sitting on their hands inside the system with their hands covering their eyes, yelling "you can't see me! you can't see me!" That's why the Xindi couldn't find the last remnants for so long! ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
