Placeholder. This is more to let you know that the Season Premiere tech review will not come tonight. Due to a stoopid decision on the part of my local TV station, Enterprise has moved to Wednesday nights - this year, I'm watching the show along with everyone else. However, I will continue with my tech reviews as soon as I watch 'em.

And the premiere should be a doozy, with the new sets, new weapons, and alleged new MACO tactics we're expecting. Who knows what else we'll see? We'll find out in the review tomorrow night.

I guess we can start with this report from Trektoday - the MACO uniforms or combat outfits seem to be re-uses of the costumes used in "The Core". I suppose it's okay, since next to no one saw that movie...

I'm knitting a nice, soft noose to hang myself with, in expectation of new lows for the show. Anyone else want one?

They can't even design original costumes for a major new aspect of the show? I mean... I'm not saying it'll ruin it, but come on! Why would you reuse costumes instead of designing something.

*sigh*

Well, to be fair, Star Trek is known for reusing props from earlier series...

And I believe that one of ships in Battlestar Galactica was a reuse of ship from different movie, wasn't it?

And on the bright side, I'm fairly sure that "The Xindi" cannot be worse than "Dear Doctor", for example [Smile]

I thought no episode could be worse than Acquisition.

Then came A Night In Sickbay, and I was wrong.

HEY!!! Dear Doctor - was one of the BEST Enterprise episodes yet. I supposed you liked "Strange New World"? - ENT's "Code of Honour"?

i liked 'Strange New World' , and i remember liking 'Code of Honor' when i was a kid

but 'Dear Doctor' was retarded. they tried to set up a morally thought provoking story, and ended up leaving the audience completely confused as to what the hell happened..

Campers, please bash/praise the series on some other thread. Starting tonight, it's all about the tech.

Oh damn... I made a mistake... [Frown]

I meant to say A Night in Sickbay - the one where producers do everything to convice us that Archer is indeed inresponsible moron, not capable of commanding anything bigger than lawnmower [Smile]

But Dear Doctor, on the other hand... it was interesting to see Archer and Phlox breaking nonexistant Prime Directive and then claiming "Boy, there sure should be some kind of Prime Directive!". Not to mention later episode, where Phlox claims that as Denobulan doctor he must fulfill his patients wishes. [Roll Eyes]

... Hm, I started to bash Enterprise...

So, my apologies for my mistake, and let the tech analysis begin! [Smile]

Also the non-existent articles, both definite and indefinite.

I am actually looking forward to getting a better look at the new rifles, and despite the reuse of the uniform, I'm looking forward to seeing them. I hope the Phase Pistols stick around though.

Did we ever get a name for the green pulse weapon Enterprise fired from the forward saucer in the premiere?

I hope someone is able to capture images of the rifles, I have a website update to produce!

I wonder how many photon torpedoes the NX-01 will expend in the season opener, and if we'll be seeing another Voyager Torpedoe Replicator.
