[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] At the risk of talking about the least important thing ever, I never got the impression that Archer's bloodtype was actually the one they were looking for. I mean, what, he's not going to be able to sneak in because he's A+ or something? "Well, I would have tried to save the Earth, but they were clearly only looking for two specific kinds of people, and I was neither, and I wouldn't want to break the rules." I liked that, uh, Loomis' Cunning Knife Plan failed miserably. Because, like, I was thinking, hey, isn't T'Pol both way stronger than him plus in possession of (largely unexplored) covert ops training? Also, it's a little late in the game to complain about the logic of time travel. Being able to move in more than one direction temporally would be nonsensical to an observer, almost by definition. I don't think you can tell a "realistic" story about time travel. Not to us, anyway. (Though, recommendation: Michael Swanwick's novel [i]Bones of the Earth[/i] comes pretty close, in my opinion, especially in regards to showing how weird things might get when you start treating next Tuesday or 1927 the same way you treat Second Avenue.)
