[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb]What? For three and a half years, they've portrayed her as a relatively reserved academic type with a tendency toward cowardice. Now, suddenly, she's the sort of person who physically assaults her commanding officers when they slightly annoy her? [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, that was definitely out of left field. I wonder if Coto or the Reeves-Stevenses had a problem with her portrayal thus far, and wanted to make her a "stronger female character" or some silly thing like that. I dislike retcons of this kind. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [qb]One thing that struck me as odd was that whole "Humans are different" stuff, while the actual work on the cure was done by Denobulan and a Vulcan... [/qb][/QUOTE]The test wasn't finding a cure, it was "how they react to the unexpected," and what was significant was that Archer was willing to sacrifice himself for his companions. [QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [qb] Everyone here seems to be suggesting the Organians infected several crew/races and observed the results. What I had taken from the episode is that the virus is on the planet already (and being silicon-based, presumably long-lived) and the Organians didn't plant it, but rather knew about it and observed races that simply and innocently encountered it and watched the results. I thought they were keeping themselves separate from the experiment, but I wasn't under the impression they had concocted it.[/qb][/QUOTE]That's correct, Organian-Reed said "all this would have happened whether we were here or not." Although I wonder about the possibility that the Organians could have caused the meteor crash in the first place. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [qb] Anyone get the impression that the possessed Mayweather and Reed were one or two of the Organians seen later?[/qb][/QUOTE]How do you mean, exactly? In "Errand of Mercy"? In this episode there were only two Organians, who moved from body to body at will. Oh, and I forgot to mention: -- Trip and Hoshi debate the cinematic merits of Michael Chrichton and Robert Wise's [i]The Andromeda Strain[/i] while in quarantine! :) -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
