[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Yowza! There's SO much tech here, and SO many fanwank references to other Treks, that there's not enough time to write 'em down on the fly... Damn fine episode, this! Holy tension builder! -ARGH! The Romulans ARE quick. They can craft a convincing holo-copy of Enterprise AND her weapons and use the flea to blow up a Rigellian scout (crew 17). -Talas' flesh wound seems a little more severe than it seemed last episode. When she dies, it's interesting that her antennae droop limply back. -The Flea is a "modified warbird", according to the Romulans. They're scared that the Vulcans would be able to ID the technology... -They want to put together a huge fleet (128 ships!) to create a "Redemption"-esque net to find the Flea. The Vulcans can send "only" 23 ships due to the disbanding of the High Command (many ships don't even have full complements, another something we've heard before), and even Starfleet can't send enough because their ships are too damn slow (and Columbia's stuck in dry dock with engine problems). The solution? Getting the Andorians and Tellarites on board. -Woo! The sensor net is Travis' idea! HE'S ACTUALLY DONE SOMETHING IMPORTANT!! -The Kumari was named for the first Andorian ice cutter to cirumnavigate their planet. This is revealed in a cute dialogue between Archer and Shran whilst looking at the Enterprise sketches in Archer's ready room. -Hey, REMANS! They don't do or say anything, but they're there. -The deathmatch is triggered by Talas' death, and Shran wants the blood of the Tellarite that shot her according to Anorian tradition. There's a funky story of how an Andorian's blood is what gets taken back home when they die away from it. Of course, Archer steps in to satisfy tradtition and save the alliance. -There's an important, plot-related scene between Mayweather and Sato. Lemme repeat that: THERE'S AN IMPORTANT, PLOT-RELATED SCENE BETWEEN MAYWEATHER AND SATO. And to ice the cake, it saves the day. [b]Th'FOOK?![/b] -As such, it's going to take nine months for Shran's antennae to grow back. For something that seems to be as eviscerting as a Loreena Bobbit routine, I'd think Shran would be more grateful. :) -The final pull-back made me cheer. -And the guy under the helmet is an Aenar, a blind, telepathic subspecies of Andoria. Such is the cliffhanger. Now, I'm gonna have to re-watch the episode to catch everything else. And I won't mind! IT'S VERY GOOD. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
