[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Thin, but okay. The whole episode had the rest button looming over it like Enterprise over New York. At the end, everything was basically back to how it SHOULD have ended at the end of the past season, with a GOOD use of the Voyager "Endgame" final shot for a change. Basically, if we'd skipped from the descruction of the sphere straight to the last shot of this episode, we wouldn't have missed anything. Ah well... On the fly notes: -The opening newsreel was pretty chilling, as I'm sure it was meant to be. -Vosk doesn't want to give the Nazis their weaponry, as he doesn't trust them. Gee, didn't see THAT happening. -Apparently, the flashpoint of the timeline change occured when someone assassinated Lenin, thus allowing Hitler to gain more power after the Great War. I'm wondering how this worked - if the Soviet revolution didn't happen, wouldn't the Russians of the time helped them end WWI a whole lot faster? -MACOs! They're still there. Lee, you're up - they're not home quite yet. ;) -Hm.. When beaming down, Archer and the two MACOs appeared simultaneously. But beaming UP, Trip and Mayweather diappeared one a little after the other. -Vosk is from the 29th century! His raison d'etre is that everyone ELSE is interfering with time, so why shouldn't he... Vosk's gang has encountered the Suliban faction in the TCW; one has to wonder what's been going on in the TCW that we're not seeing, or why no other factions are trying to interfere here. -When Silik impersonates Trip, he takes the man's clothing. But when they capture him, somehow he's got his usual outfit back. I guess it's still mimetic... -When Vosk and Archer don't agree to join forces, the former fires a nifty rail-mounted plasma cannon at the ship. it's enough to seriously damage Enterprise, but not enough for her to move in "point blank" to destroy the facility once the shields are down, which we'll be discussing shortly. -The gate our heroes smash through looks a little out of place. Have we seen it before? -Given how little problem Archer has taking a phase pistol along with him, I wonder how tough it would have been to bring along a bulletproof vest. There'd be plenty of slugs flying around, and he knew it. -Enterprise makes little fuss about flying around to smash Nazi warplanes and installations. The only real reason given is that the targetting array is down, so they have to get close - really close! - to make an accurate attack. -Ionization from re-entry prevents communication in the 22nd century just like it does today, apparently. -For ehat it's worth, the images of Enterprising dueling with Stukas are REALLY FRICKING COOL. -The post-climax diatribe between Archer and Daniels is reminiscent of the holographic stuff he's shown before. There are plenty of images floating around in the background, going from stock WWII footage through the Clinton adminstration, 9/11, and the launch of Enterprise to Archer running out of the burning core of teh Xindi weapon. Archer demands that Daniels leave him alone, and he readily agrees - looks like it's over, at least on the 22nd century front. -Okay, the "dozens of ships" seen in the final shot will take an HDTV screenshot and a lot of time to figure out. However, we do see a couple of Vulcan ships (the newer ones; doesn't ANYONE use the originals anymore?), two Icelands, the Intrepid (including a good ventral fiew AT LAST!), the science ship from "Regeneration", and many more from various races. There's one spiffy new ship, the one that flies over Enterprise as the fleet turns to escort her home. It sure looks Earthy... Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
