[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Okay, here's mine. Another obtuse metaphor" episode, not bad, but lacking depth as usual. Apologies for any duplications - this is also the first time I can watch and type at the same time, due to my new DUAL MONITOR SYSTEM! BWAHAHAHA!!! -We open with Mayweather and Trip taking close scans of a sphere. They seem to be absolutely identical between them, probably exclusive of that customized door from "Anomaly". -T'Pol notes right at the beginning that with the new data, she can calculate the EXACT number of spheres in the Expanse. Her earlier estimate was probably just that. -To be fair, the zealots were assured to have no weapons, probably by visual scan. They screwed up, obviously. -Yeah, that ship is pretty small for all the people inside. Then again, refugee boats can cram quite a few people into their teeny hulls. Given the low tech of this species and their relgious fervor, it wouldn't surprise me that they were making do with a smaller ship to achieve their goals. -The Triannon system is 6.3 light years from their position, inside a star cluster. -I'm pretty sure that they've forgotten Enterprise is still carrying spatial torpedoes. Pity, since they've been seen numerous times in the armory set. -For doing stuff like scanning, walking on and entering spehres, the phenom prenom says he's obligated to destroy the ship. I wonder how, or if, he's ever done so before with his puny vessel. -On the "FILES DELETED" screen, under the volume of files deleted line it reads "& Com System Updated". I take this to mean COMPUTER system, not communications. -The files seemed to be deleted along the lines of keywords. I guess it isn't THAT bad, since they likely still have the Xindi database, and they can go back and re-scan the identical spheres. What they've mostly lost then is the probable locations of the other spheres, and the recipie for Trellium-D (which was seen to be erased). I'm sure they can eventually get most of this stuff back with further scans. -Man, the Captain's logs seem to be a popular destination for folks who take over the ship... Still, with apparently unlimited access to the ship's computer, did ANY of them not read about the transporter system?! -The J-tube set that Archer uses as his ops bases seems to be partially new - it looks like it's been made from bits of wall segments and a computer bank from the catwalk set. -NINE DAYS versus TEN DAYS?! Yeesh! -Once again, the forward photons are seen emerging form the old tubes instead of the new centerline tube seen in "The Expanse". Damn. And do these guys have an aversion to energy weapons for some reason? -For anyone keeping track, the rifles used in this episode are the dual-barrel types, and they are consistently seen firing beams from the upper barrel. Reed's rifle is actually shot at one point and goes offline, so he throws it at a guy - a first, I think. -Speaking of firsts, is this the first time they've actually SAID the term "MACO"? I'd been wondering this for a while now... -We see the MACO pistol again, which is still the EM-33. Yay! Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
