[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: Wow. I didn't realize tectonic shift around the Atlantic would reverse direction and accelerate so much in the next couple hundred years.[/QUOTE]The dark secret of the Xindi is that they were working for Portugal, trying to soften the blow when Florida rammed Europe. My comments, observations, and errata: 1. No comment about Nazis. Good. 2. The episode was jam-packed. They should've squeezed the "OMG we have to get rid of Braga's stupid alien Nazi shit" into one ep, and then made this a two-parter. I mean, they actually had characters in this one. 3. Vulcan is 16 light-years from Earth, as suggested by Trip. That suggests the 40 Eridani = Vulcan idea from the Trek non-canon, with the exception of the fact that 40 Eridani is part of a triple system. The B and C stars are together a good distance from the main star, though. http://www.solstation.com/stars/40erida3.htm 3a. In TMP, Scotty offered to have Spock back on Vulcan in four days. That's four light-years per day, or 1460c. 4. This episode was composed entirely of large-breasted women. But I'd still rather have me some Hoshi. 5. Pulsed phase cannons? Please don't tell me the Columbia is going to get all Defiant on somebody's butt. She's already got dorsal and ventral torpedo tubes, which is getting a little ridiculous. Kirk kicked plenty of ass with two tubes side-by-side . . . there's no need to get freaky with torpedoes flying from every port-hole. Besides, on NX-01, every port-hole has a phase cannon, so the port-holes are occupied. 6. We once again see a tricorder . . . or a scanner, in this case . . . being used as a Sherlock system. In this case, Archer scans a track and concludes that it is from a mountain lion, and a few days old. Whether he actually has some tracking skills or whether he'd loaded "Outdoorsmanship For Dummies" into his scanner is unclear. 7. Archer has high schools named after him, and is considered a hero of Earth. According to Daniels, he'll be at the Federation Charter signing ceremony. While apologists have stated their case as to how his ship and his exploits might end up never being mentioned, it still bothers me. 8. T'Pol was not at all low-key with her emotions. If anything, Blalock's portrayal was that of a twitchy former junkie . . . which is accurate, I guess, but still. 9. T'Pol's mother taught at the Vulcan Science Academy, but can't fix anything in the house. That's not a contradiction or anything, but it's amusing. 10. Vulcan just didn't seem all that alien, really, besides the idea that guests have to fix breakfast. 10a. T'Pol was eating with her hands. 11. Major update required for my San Francisco page.
