[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Not a bad opener, with a lot of action carrying the story and exposition. Not much new tech, though the TCW is obviously the major thing here. On-the-fly notes follow: -I was hoping that they would say something about the effectiveness of 20th century bullets against the shuttle hulls of the 22nd. AA fire poses an obvious threat -Not too surprisingly, the ship has been mostly cleaned up inside since the last episode. Sure, there're a few battle scars here and there, but everything is otherwise squeaky clean. The corridors are conspicuously untouched compared to before. The exterior CG model is presumably the same as it was last time, so it's an easy matter -Interestingly, the Nazi aliens speak with the usual American accents, and no one seems to notice. -Enterprise has been sunk. The carrier, anyway. :) -The aliens are deploying plasma weaponry to the Nazis... They use a film demonstration to a German general, showing them blowing up a building and a tank. The building exploding seems to be the one in VOY "The Killing Game" -Apparently there are no gangsters that don't have names like Vic or Sal. Also, while I'm no weapons expert, I'm sure people had OTHER pistols besides the Colt 1911. :) -Daniels reveals that the TCW is a flat-out TW now - temporal agents are attacking on multiple fronts, changing history on a massive scale (I'm hoping this means on other planets too). Daniels brought Enterprise back here to stop the aliens from returning to their time, probably thus causing a paradox that would erase their influence from the timeline. -For the first time in a while, we get a close up look at the phase cannons as they're used to disable the shuttle that Silik commandeers. Nothing different about them, but it's just nice ot see them again (I'm sure they don't bother rendering them deployed when the ship's in long shots). In any case, the centerline photon(ic) launcher isn't present on the wrecked-up CG ship model either. -Hey, isn't that the same sunken store entrance that Bashir and Sisko once spent the night in? -The aliens are trapped here in this time, and they've been building a time machine with local technology so they can get back. Because of the tech, the machine is REALLY BIG - which is how Enterprise will find it. -Archer says he's from upstate New York. Has he said where he's from before? -I know it makes perfect sense, but for some reason I was chuckling for a while when I saw the Nazis using German Shepards. :p -Hey, bullets pass right through the trnsporer beam. Good thing the aliens weren't using energy weapons, or else they'd probably end up like Major Hayes. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
