A character builder episode with a few nice effects, plus we got to see new things like Deck 15 and the Delta Flyer's escape pod, an odd shaped torpedo sized craft. I liked the opening shot as well. I didn't see too many obvious flaws, but I'm sure you guys can find them.

Well if the Delta Flyer can carry that sucker, then it can launch torpedoes. And it looks like the corridors from ST: TMP were given a makeover to make it Deck 15.

The pod looks as if it could fit one of those squarish features on the upper sides of the DF hull. So the DF would have four of those.

It also looks like it was made to match the existing photorp prop. Did we see the pod up close in a live-action scene, in prop form?

Carrying a torp-sized pod doesn't mean one can launch torpedoes. The launcher-loader and the warhead tank have to be fitted to the hull as well. IMHO, it's extremely unlikely the DF would be capable of firing torps of this size. Probably those 13-cm microtorps of the DS9 TM...

ALso, if the DF still had antimatter to arm the torpedoes fired, but not enough to go to warp, then the torps couldn't have been very big.

So, where is the pod located in the Delta Flyer?

Since I�ve only seen the trailer on Mr Vidiot, I�ll have to ask this: You can see weapons fire in the trailer, is that from an alien ship? If so, got any screengrabs of that as well?

All around I thought this was an enjoyable episode to watch.

I do have to ask though, why would it take six years before the Captain (or any of the other department heads) to do anything about three officers who are obviously performing below standard? You would figure their names would have come up years before in performance reports and something done to help them along.

The alien ships were conveniently invisible in this episode. I don't have any more images, either way.

We got to see Deck 15, DF escape pod, I wished we could of seen Shuttlebay 1 though. Also, though I doubt it, I'd like to see that cute Bajoran girl again.

The main aft shuttlebay is 2, I always thought that was the only shuttlebay.

I didn't like that one guy in gold, talk about your all around jerk. Even if you are halfway across the galaxy you shouldn't be that rude to a captain. I know Picard or Sisko would of chewed his ass out for his attitude.

I thought this was a great episode. The effects of flying through the window were great, and unexpected. We got to see a lot of new things, there was continuity, and character development. Now we just need an episode like this about the main characters. The episode made me feel confident in Trek again after some of the odd episodes this season. Wouldn't it be great if Voyager could be like this and better for the rest of its run, maybe even getting an 8th season. Oh well, just a small hope.
