[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] [Was out late last night. Sorry guys - priorities :) ] -Timestamp - May 27, 2154 at the end of the episode. -Y'know, Archer's new chair really looks like a COMMAND CHAIR. It looks like something that will protect him, and that gives him a commanding presence on the set. Unlike the old one, which reminded me of an ofice desk chair with a PDA on the side (granted with a spiffy popup display and a minor foldout feature that was never used). Depsite beign from "Nemesis", I really think it fits. Now, if only they could replace the other chairs on the bridge with seats that don't look so damned flimsy... -I've got a feeling that the show went long in the second episode, and the "actual" cliffhanger of Archer having less than a minute would have been the true ending. Lucas and the C-12 crew aren't seen after that. It's a minor gaffe, and as a result Riele had to be credited and paid for one line in this episode. ;) -Speaking of one liners, who was the cute blonde at Engineering station on the bridge in the final battle? Her one line could have been said by anyone else on the bridge. I'm thinking it has something to do with the above point. -Ahh, okay. It's amazing how rusty I am after a year without Klingons. :p So, we're talking the D-5 we saw Duras use in "Judgement", and a tanker variant of which we see in "Marauders". http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/schematics/klingon_ships.htm -Looks like then the Klingon fleet of this era will be mostly D5s and BoPs. The Raptor ships seem to have vanished altogether, we won't count the "horseshoe" transport, or the K'tinga either. -Nice continuity, jettisoning the Denobulan pilot and her ship to escape!Was wondering what happened to her. Anyway, I'm also enjoying how real-life new scientific data gathered from the Galileo and Cassini probes is being used in the show. A decade ago, we wouldn't hear about gas giants having thermal or cyclohexene layers like this. Smart. :) -Enterprise outguns a BoP three to one? Good thing Duras had three when we last saw him... Still, this episode the wing disruptors mysteriously switch to beams instead of pulses. And we learn the bridge is protected by "dispersive armor" that is invulnerable to phase cannon fire, though that could have just been Soong lying to keep Archer from firing on his kids. -Enterprise has not displayed any of the new weaponry described of the Columbia - not too much of a surprise, and they do finish this show back on Earth. Being upgraded for a fight later this season (as the upcoming Vulcan arc doesn't seem to involve much ship-to-ship combat) can easily happen offscreen at any point now. -Trip's parents have moved to Mississippi from Panama City, FL. Panama City is nowhere near where the Xindi weapon made its attack down the panhandle. While the attack most certainly screwed up normal life for everyone in the Southwest, Trip's parent's place was okay. They wanted a new beginning, perhaps? -The UT has been updated with seven Klingon dialects - looks like Hoshi is having less to do already. :) I wonder though if whatever the Klingon guy on the other end was hearing was a properly-accented Klingonese - Archer isn't nearly as gruff or growly as Klingons tend to be. And as always, "Qapla'" was not translated. -Neato effect of the show - as Soong escapes in the pod, the BoP looks to jump to warp when ALREADY at warp. Then the starstreaks collapse to points and the pod is at sublight. Cool! -I'm wondering what the reasoning is behind soundproofing the brig... No other series has done this, and prisoners have often used this advantage to talk / hypnotize / whatever their way out of their cell. And to say nothing of the advantages of having a friggin' ACTUAL PHYSICAL BARRIER locking you in! This Enterprise has the most secure brig ever! -Speaking of cool retro tech - I'd like to see any other ship be able to disable a target with a tractor beam, like Enterprise did with the grappler! -T'Pol changes her outfits, yet maintains her pips and patch. I'm sure whatever regulation that governs this sort of thing will survive at least a couple centuries so Seven can use it too. -Y'know, despite having having four (or five) tubes to fire torpedoes in the forward arc, I don't think we ever see her fire photonics from more than one tube at any one time. Here, it's three torps from tube 3 (counting from port and not including the once-seen centerline tube). I'malmost certain we only see them firing from tube 2 and 3 these days - perhaps they're using photonics from only certain tubes now? And the spatial torpedo props are kept around in the Armory because they're probe casings or something? -CC tidbit - when Archer kills Malik, the closed-captioning reads that we hear a "plasma rifle blast". Could it be that TPTB still consider the MACO weapons to be plasma-based? Plasma, with a stun setting of some sort, accounting for the white pulses instead of the original red? Hm..! -And there's nothing said that Soong didn't already have kids... Or he'll get out and about at some point later. He's apparently not in prison because of murder, so perhaps he'll be pardonned some day? Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
