I find it odd that the episode has aired in the US now and still no one has made any comments on the tech in this episode. I feel that, as an admin, I should steer this back on topic. *shrug* Dems da rulez and all that jazz.
Anyways, there wasn't too much new stuff. Just that, to Hoshi, the transporter acted all screwy and she went out of phase. The whole episode happened while she was in the pattern buffer for 8.3 seconds, like in "Eye of the Beholder" (episode happening in a second or two in realtime). If this happened to Hoshi in 8.3 seconds stuck in a pattern buffer, what did Scotty experience in the Jenol*n's pattern buffer for all those decades?

Then I would fuck em.

Almost enough to turn a man gay. Right there. In that one scene. (retch!)

Nimbus III, heh, thanks - still - Uhura's scene... WRONG! They should have had that as part of Riker's "Nightmares" in Shades of Grey... seeing as he was also witness to events in tWoK!!

You're only encouraging the "Trekkie" stereotype of horny people with glasses jerking off to pictures of Jeri Ryan nude or something like that...this is the STARSHIPS AND TECHNOLOGY forum, not the "Horny Teen Trekkie" forum. Sheeshk, show a little intelligence for cryin' out loud.
I've been trying to decide whether I like the new transporter effect or not...on the one hand, you can actually SEE the subject being de-materialised, and that's always cool. But on the other hand, there's no visual effects for the annular confinement beam, or any of the other transporter processes.
What was said near the end of the episode about Commander Tucker (I believe) reccomending some new transporter protocal for Starfleet? ("Increasing something-or-other") I didn't quite catch that...and if anyone knows what that would do for the system...?
Why are they so afraid of it? Besides the fact that it's new, I mean. The system doesn't seem to be much different from the TOS or TNG transporters...and in this episode they only had a minor "hiccup" with the pattern buffer.
Also, does anyone know of a good website I can go to that talks in detail about how the transporter system "works"? I love theoretical physics and junk like that.
(Perhaps this post will steer the thread in the right direction...if not, nobody can say I didn't try.)
