That's the one. With the Yangs and Coms. Thanks. Yeah, I want an explanation for that episode. Formal apologies should be issued. People should be slapped.

Thou hast blasphemed The Omega Glory! Captain Tracey was easily one of the best Trek villains ever, and certainly scarier than a red-eyed blue guy in a Nazi uniform.

Wow. I can't believe someone just said that. "The Omega Glory" was possibly the worst episode I've ever watched. Captain Tracey was your average starfleet captain, acting in the average starfleet way if Jonathan Archer is any indication. I'd be willing to bet Picard could have talked his way out, Sisko could have punched him out and Janeway could have bored him to death.

This episode didn't make any sense at all! It was completly puzzling and unbelievable! Did you see that scene with the P-51s? There were THREE of them! Three! Everyone KNOWS that by 1944 USAAF fighters operated in flights of four broken up into two sections of two! And another thing, frontline fighters over SAN FRANSISCO? As I said, this episode is horribly flawed.
...or maybe I just wanted to see the Enterprise-J. I like that ship.
On another note: has anyone calculated how long it would take the other Earth ships in an outer defense perimeter to reach the Xindi deathsphere? It seems that at warp 3 (is this 27c, or am I using the wrong scale?) they should be able to reach it well within time to engage it during the show...

Flawed? It's an episode with an alien Nazi on a show with a space dog, a linguist who can decipher languages in mere seconds, and diverse aliens who happen to have the same rats we do on hand for their feedings. This isn't exactly a documentary.
-------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week? Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir. Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then. Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

^^^ Well, the BoP went to warp inside Earth's atmosphere in ST: 4, and the NCC-1701 went to warp inside a solar syatem all the time in TOS, so it's probably a little more risky due to all of the gravity wells in the immediate vincinity, but it's certainly not impossible. That mainly just became a "problem" because of the references in TMP and "By Purgatory's Shadow" but there's far more evidence that you can then that you can't.

All the problems in that episode and your primary concern was the number of P-51's and the fact that they were operating out of San Francisco? It's not the History Channel, it's UPN, I think we can let that slide.

Actually that was when they were heading back to the future [insert cheesy Huey Lewis song here].

Just re-watching... The reptilians said that Yosemite-3 was the ONLY station they could detect. So... they couldn't see any ships, OR Columbia, OR the huge-ass orbital facilities that were building the NX-ships or any others?
quote:Originally posted by Captain Boh: Anyway, the Intrepid and compangy might not have stable enough warp drive to do in system warp
Why not? If NX-01 can...
Anyway... If there was only one orbital station (Yosemite) when Sphere got to Earth, then this whole Evil Alien Nazis thingy obviously started before Expanse was destroyed.
And it's not just the Earth... riddle me this... if Yosemite station is still around, then how come that Lunar One colony was not?
I think that one think we can all agree on is that this doesn't make any sense whatsoever...

It's possible that the NX facility was on the other side of the planet. One does wonder where all the other ships were, though.

[Spoiler warning for Season 4!!!]
The second part will reveal that the Enterprise has been captured by the Founders and the crew has been put into some holodeck-machine to find out how humans would react if the Dominion decided to expand into the Alpha Quadrant. Meanwhile Archer meets the leader of a renegade crew of Jem'Hadar who are not longer addicted to Ketracel-D (or whatever they call it) and convinces him to help him free his crew. For no apparent reason, he's dressed up like a Nazi. The Founders make the crew believe that the Romulans started a war with the Feder..oops.. I mean Earth and T'Pol is convinced that the only way to stop them is to make a suicide run on their mothership, which looks strangely familiar to those few who have seen Nemesis. By the end of the episode, they will not be saved (Actually, this situation will kick of another sub-arc, dealing with the Romulan war.) While the crew wont get out of the holo-machine until the mid-season two-parter, Archer and the Nazi-Jem'Hadar will join a crew of escaped prisoners on a living ship, called "Al".
But I guess the rumor of William Shatner returning to play evil Kirk of the mirror universe is wrong.
