[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] 1. The Vulcan starfleet simply imploded with the Syrannite 'coup'. The Vulcan arc was helluva-quick continuity-fixing, but it was continuity-fixing all the same. I guess they all started reading Surak and realized that they were all buttholes. This also goes a long way toward the idea that Vulcan ships weren't for exploring (suggested here and there on the show), but were instead basically only out there to look for trouble and try to control it. Without a Vulcan fleet and substantial presence in the region, however, I don't see how they're going to remain major players. Presumably the idea is that the Terrans step up to the plate and, thanks to better relations and relations-keeping, end up calling the shots. 2. Talas was hot. Tradition or not, I'd wanna kill a fool too. 3. This was another Reeves-Stevens duo winner. Those two really kick ass at this. They started the Vulcan arc with a winner, then Andre Bormanis phoned in a sleeper for the second part. This time they were the middle child and made it better than the first. 4. The Romulan Flea is freakin' scary. A. I thought it was much bigger in the last episode . . . at least a hundred meters or so. This time there was a shot that made it appear to be no bigger than a runabout. Then again, the Trip-Reed Ejection Maneuver appeared to support a ~80-100m ship. B. A ship that small should not be able to do all that it does, even without a crew. It's taken out two Kumari Class Andorian warships, fought off NX-01, and so on . . . usually while maintaining a holographic shroud. When similar holographic trickery was planned on Voyager, it was going to require beaucoup power. C. Could similar holographic trickery explain the early Romulan cloak? After all, NCC-1701 was able to track the ship. Sure, we're still screwed in regards to Spock crapping his pants at the notion of invisibility, but perhaps we're somewhat less screwed that way. Just a brain fart. D. That ship's level of maneuverability is frightening. I don't think we've ever seen anything maneuver like that. The closest example that comes to mind is Worf's shuttle from "Darmok" that gets nailed in the nacelle and goes for a spin. 5. "I have my sources, Admiral." Hint of Tal Shiar? [/QB][/QUOTE]
