And three million six is a highly unlikely price for an auction.

Perhaps three million isiks, as in DS9 "Rivals"?

Well, it could be a currency that isn't worth alot, so three million six isn't what we'd think it is. I think the reason it doesn't show up on the captioning log is that the name of the currency was said during the jumble of speach, and wouldn't have been able to be captioned (without covering the whole screen with text)

In that scene where the BoP is docked to the Enterprise, can anyone get a rough guess as to the BoP's size? By itself, it looked smaller, but that scene made it look a lot larger to me. Would be interesting to compare it to the size (or sizes) of the movie+ BoP.

I thought it was roughly the size of the saucer of the Enterprise, which roughly and easily could work out to the classic 110m. But then again, I could just as easily be wrong.


By the way, I missed the 'teaser', how exactly was the BoP captured? And was there a feel for how large its crew was?

Nice continuity if it is Isiks! And I did mention I saw that blue, shrouded alien from "Q-Less". [Big Grin]

Umm, isiks were used by an El-Aurian con man, a Ferengi bartender, and a con woman of unknown origin who tried to sell the Vlugta asteroid belt to the other two. Which of these applies here as a bridge of continuity? [Confused]

In any case, it's better than quatloos... [Roll Eyes]

Presumably all of them. Doesn't it count as continuity when they use the same term twice for a form of interstellar currency?

Exactly - we don't know if the currency was solely El-Aurian, Ferengi or an Alien woman - one would assume that if they are all happy with the currency then it is an interstellar standard. Maybe the Alien woman was Orion (maybe just not a slave girl).

She, an Orion? That's borderline silly.

I was just re-watching this episode last night and noticed that in one of the holding cages at the Orion processing station there was a Reman. No, not a Na'Kuhl or whatever Vosk's species was, but an unmistakable Reman. Just thought I'd mention it. Someone ought to be able to provide a cap if you don't believe me. It was in one of the wide/sweep shots where they pan to the right, showing multiple cages during the pass. He was in the first (leftmost) one, IIRC.

Ooh, gonna have to rewatch. While I'm fairly certain it's not intentional - typical Trek scripts are rarely so detailed - it'll certainly provide something for us to link into the upcoming Romulan arc.
