[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] T'Pau's attempted [i]fal-tor-pan[/i] on Archer failed (she said that Surak had chosen to remain in Archer), so I guess we don't yet have a contradiction of the claim in ST3 that it had only been performed in "ages past" in legend. Of course, it could be that she just didn't hear about it. Because, presumably, they'll get Surak out of Archer's head eventually.[/qb][/QUOTE]Was that really even the [i]Fal-Tor-Pan[/i]? Literally meaning "re-fusion," I thought that was a ritual specifically designed to transfer a [i]katra[/i] back to its *original* owner after they had being separated for some reason. Just transferring a "slave" [i]katra[/i] *between* owners doesn't seem like the same thing. At least, one would think that it would be called something other than a "re-fusion." (After all, neither Archer nor T'Pau had been fused with the [i]katra[/i] before.) I really liked this episode, but I'm still quite befuddled as to how the Syrrannites were concealing their base at the T'Karath Sanctuary without the use of technology. And it bothers me that there would be such a glaring plot hole as this. And just to get things straight, nobody ever said that was ShirKahr, and I agree that it has never been portrayed as or implied to be the Vulcan capital. Nor was it stated or implied that any of the locations in ST3-ST4 were in the Forge, and it would furthermore seem that they were not, as technology seemed to function fine in both. Same goes for the "Amok Time" location, to which Kirk and Spock beamed down from the [i]Enterprise[/i]. Let's not go inventing excessive geographical coincidences where they aren't called for. (Then again, it would appear that there have been adaptations in at least some technologies by the 23rd century to the conditions of the Forge, allowing the surface skimmers seen in "Yesteryear." Either that or the [i]le-matya[/i] attack took place on the edge of the geomagnetic anomaly.) As to new ships in next week's promo, there are none that I can see. The one in Kyle's screencap is the same [i]D'Vahl[/i] design seen in this episode as the orbital patrol craft. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
