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…
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.
Jake Sisko or Jake 2.0?
Yarr!
Jake Sisko was Wesley 2.0.
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.
I always thought Wesley was beta.
Which is why if you put two of them together in the same tank, they would fight to the death.
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?
Or more likely try to out wimp each other…
Avast ye land lubbers It be Talk like a pirate day
Lore was beta, Data was production. Wesley was just half-baked.
Ah, B4 was beta
Lore, release
Data, 2.0
Wesley, DEAD!
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?
“Niedermeyer, DEAD!”
“Beta” is a fanfic term and you all know it, you bunch of slashy beards. 
Aes, I’m gonna send your tape tomorrow and it’s brand new, so should be smooth. I put Threat Matrix (yawn) and Boston Pubic, Boston Market or whatever it’s called on there just to take up some space. Jake 2.0 was good (again).
Future guy loves emailing on this site.

Boston Public? You have sullied my tape!
You’d better appreciate the taping thing, or I’ll keep it long enough to put Seventh Heaven on it. Or worse.
Ooooh, what a threat.
Telletubbies!
Give him Tinky Winky!
BTW, veeve, I sent van the same ones you got. So there!
I promise to post some on a web site soon.
Really.
I’m not a liar.
Really really, Donkey
Huh? Is there some famous ST slashfiction out there where something named “Beta” played a prominent role, or something?
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.
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.
Me too. Then I’d have destroyed the sphere after that – no more base for the pirates.
