[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] The tech aspect was a little weird. In the prior episode, the Klingon computer program caused the antimatter flow regulators to lock open, producing increasing pressure in the intermix chamber. This pressure could only be relieved with increased speed. (That, incidentally, implies a lock between reactor and nacelles, with no way to vent drive plasma safely.) In this episode, they acted like the problem was simply dropping below warp five, with the Klingon algorithm fulfilling the role of Dennis Hopper's bus bomb. Purging the computer required shutting down the core for a moment, rebooting the whole system. I suppose there are ways to understand the two together, but they seem contrary to me. Nonetheless, I'm reminded of a TOS episode . . . either "Elaan of Troyius" or "That Which Survives" . . . wherein the problem seemed to change a bit in mid-stride, so at least these were in august company. (BTW . . . what's the episode of TNG where the Enterprise-D's injectors were locked open and the ship was a runaway?) [/QB][/QUOTE]
