Is this space ship in the ice a swipe from X-Files or from 'The Thing'?

I guess Borg nanoprobes can be frozen at the temperature of water ice but still function in the cold of space.

You'd think the Enterprise crew wouldn't had time to check for debris since they had time to retrieve all the escape pods.

We shouldn't be so shocked. Who didn't except to see the Borg on Enterprise one day?

Now you know, that's actually interesting idea... Kinda like "Space Oddysey 3001"

I'm sorry, but those two sentences are mutually contradictory.

The only Swedish aliens I want to see on Enterprise are the Totally Gay Nordic Dudes, thank you very much. Actually, Daniels' holothingy does resemble a continuum transfunctioner. . .

And the 1950s version of "Who Goes There?" was The Thing From Another World.

Last time I saw Neal McDonough was in Band of Brothers, I'm sure he'd be available to play his frozen, balsted semi-assimilated corpse. 8)

And I kind of doubt that "random flash in the night sky" will appear just as random flash of light on Vulcan lander sensors. [Smile]

What I wanted to say is, that Aban idea reminded me one of the Space Odyssey books featuring astronaut who was killed in first part and brought back to life.

I'm not surprised. But that doesn't mean that I'm not incredibly pissed.

I don't want to get into yet another discussion what continuity is about. For the record, to me continuity is more than just literal obedience to a set of rules, more than just making sure that something is or is not mentioned or shown.

Half of the episodes so far were based on or heavily relied on anachronistic ideas like holodecks, replicators, cloaking devices, shapeshifters, Romulans, Ferengi and now Borg. If we are picky, the hard continuity breaches were rather few in Enterprise, but the topics of the series are extremely inadequate for what we would have to expect. Even worse, with so few genuine 22nd century ideas in the stories as well as in the details, the premise has utterly failed - only that the producers wouldn't admit that.

The Borg episode may be the final nail in the coffin of the series premise. With other storylines (such as Vulcans vs. Andorians) being further developed, the idea of Enterprise may survive, but once the line has been crossed to allow just any incursion to the timeline, this loss of reputation and credibility will affect the genuine ideas too.

Well yeah I expected the Borg to appear on Enterprise. I kinda hoped that it would be much later in the series and that it would be short i.e. Archer's shown the Borg as a reason for the formation of the Federation or as a possible faction in the temporal cold war, instead of having somebody do a copy of The Thing with the Borg.

Of course this could be a third arc in the show along side the TCW and the Vulcan-Andorian hotilites-lead to birth of federation: the 23-24th century stuff that dosen't belong arc!

So in season 1 we had the Ferengi, we've got the Borg in season 2, so what's for season 3? the Gorn? Captain Riker of the Titan for season 4? The Guardian of Forever in season 5? Sarek in season 6? Admiral Janeway and Seven of Nine in season 7?

As far as I know, Neal McDonough still plays the DA on "Boomtown"... right?

The thing to ask is, how does having the Borg around in the 22nd century lead to developing characters like Archer, Phlox or Mayweather? What else can you do with the Borg without having them be some awful menace that in the end does no REAL harm.

It attracts the 12-year old fans.

Perhaps T'Pol will be assimilated and subsequently cured by Phlox, leaving her with some implants above her eye!

Anything that'll make her act more like a fucking VULCAN and less of a Braga fantasy sex kitten would actually be a bonus.

Well, one could argue that every Trek series has one.
