Well since most of my comments are simply disregarded, ill leave this one short. Specifically for the people that still live in third-world countries who cannot see the episode till next year....
Personally Im just going to say the ONLY thing i liked in this episode was the reference to ST TAS:Yesteryear, made by T'pol in the catwalk... well i leave this for the rest of you to complain about...

Personally, i liked the episode. Sure it had it's flaws, like the painfully predictable aliensthatareunafectedbythekillerstorm tm, but it was a kinda new plot. I was HOPING that it would be more like the old Film Noir LIFEBOAT, though. It was also nice to see a new areal of the ship and add some new tech, like the 300 degree temp.
One thing I can't help wondering about, is what affect the storm had on the planet.

At warp 7 for 8 days is 135744000000000 miles or 13.3 lightyears.
So I conclude that the anomaly was at least 13 lightyears long or less. Given that they needed warp 7 to outrun it that number could be less.
I figure the planet was destroyed, Its gravity would cause it to tend to move toward any of those neat funnel thingys...
Why didnt they use the 3d environment of space to their advantage. They could have gone under it or above it, as you see from Archers window its farly wide but not very tall. Did anyone else see this?

Well i may not have caught that refernce to Spock's great grandfather. I did catch the reerence to the kahs-wan... well I said that already.
Did anyone else think that it was just a little dumb to have a plasma conduit susceptible to ignition by a frying pan? One would think something that would be able to handle "300 degree temperatures whenever the warp drive was online" would be able to fend off a frying pan...

It was probably that fact that everyone was on the catwalk which made it bad for them to be cooking near the conduit. It has nothing to do with handling it.

Still I doubt that the heating element was able to heat the AIR next to the plasma manifild to over 300 degrees. And to ignight the plasma, which has to be in contact with the heat source. IE either plasma directly released into the catwalk, or the manifold being directly heated to a temperature enough to cause ignition. Both of which are poposterious ideas.
BTW that was some serious food, as in it needed to be prepared at nearly 4500 degrees , IE for the temperature of the plamsa manifold to melt .....

I don't recall anyone saying the plasma manifold was in danger of melting. Just that it's dangerous to have an open heat source near one. Not knowing what exactly a plasma manifold does or now it does it, I don't think we can really say that the idea is preposterous (or "poposterious", if you prefer).
