**Aesiron** , you’re just not thinking two-dimensionally! I would like it if they blew-up the Death Star only to find that what it was doing was keeping the anomaly effects _suppressed_. ---

From way back on page one… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cervaise \* > \*\*Next week’s preview, though? :rolleyes: \*\* The Planet of Dr. Moreau? How could that be bad? It’s like nothing we’ve ever seen before! I like this season. (I don’t listen to the theme though. I spend that time trolling the other stations in case something better comes along. It doesn’t. Then I watch Enterprise like a good little boy.) How they take a WWII battleship and convert it into a spaceship. No, they take a spaceship and convert it into a battleship. But… _They’re off to outer space, And leaving Mother Earth To save the human race On En-ter-prise! Searching for a distant star Heading off to Iscandar (errr… the Expanse) Leaving all we love behind Who knows what danger we’ll find? We must be strong and brave Our home we’ve got to save If we don’t in just one year Mother Earth will disappear…_ And Space Marines! Actual Space Marines! Now they need little fighters painted in tiger stripes! Yeah! That would be. So. Cool! OK, I jest, I kid. (Ha ha!) But this year? Fighting! Space battles! Pandas in decon! Pandas in the spacesuit lockers! Pandas in T’Pol’s quarters! Give us more Doc Phlox and more Hoshi in all her loveliness, and we are so Jake. ---

This is probably going to see like a nitpick, but it’s come up in both episodes. They have Marines on board. Shouldn’t the Marines be the first on the ground(season premiere)/and the initial boarding party(this ep.)? Then call in the Starfleet? That’s how it would be in any military outfit I can think of. ---

If the Space Marines go in first Malcolm gets all moody about not having the “big guns” and starts shooting at things in the weapons bay. No one wants that, now do they? ---

> [@](#): > > _Monstre wrote:_ > Yep – I commented on it two posts above yours. And I noticed it, but not really buying it. After all, at the end of last season, we had the video of the Vulcan ship coming out of the Expanse and turning on each other. Presumably to convince us that the Expanse is ScarySpookyBadPlace. Ooops, missed that. Yeah, I pretty much assume they’ll have an out for that one but they may be laying groundwork for making the expanse mission extra long. Could mean good things for the combat quota. Am I the only one who thought that the Vulcan scare tactics were a little “non-logical”. I mean bodies inverted? Sorry, I need to see the photos and the ship/medical logs please Mr Vulcan. **peterw** , I don’t remember if they actually closed the episode with them having left the sphere…anyone remember? Can they start the next ep with a cannibalization of the sphere? ---

It was definitely refreshing to see a derelict spaceship with no air and no gravity. I liked that. If I were Archer, I wouldn’t have just taken back our stuff, I’d have hauled off anything that looked even remotely useful from that sphere. Fuckin’ space pirates–fuck 'em. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CarnalK \* > Am I the only one who thought that the Vulcan scare tactics were a little “non-logical”. I mean bodies inverted? Sorry, I need to see the photos and the ship/medical logs please Mr Vulcan. Well, the Vulcans just went crazy and tried to murder each other and then apparently blew up their ship. It was the Klingons who were anatomically inverted (but still alive! “It is a good day to die–but maybe not a good day to be turned inside out while still alive–full speed away from the Expanse!”) I don’t know if the Vulcans actually would have all the medical records on that. ---
