The Pon Farr scene is comedic at best. Fourteen year old males will love it. Good: The escape scene. Bad: Tellarite makeup. ---

The first Tellarite is ok, the second pretty bad. They look like the old tellarites with putty stuck on their faces rather than wearing a mask. The tusks are good, though. 🙂 The character is variable, too. ---

DOH! Bermaga! So sorry. Berman and Braga=Bermaga. I’m in such a sorry state, I couldn’t get the name right even when it was right there in the quote. Mea culpa, especially to Viva. tarragon ---

_I_ haven’t seen it yet, which is really the most important thing. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but is this episode a little not so good? 'Cause I’m not hearing any of the raves (if “it didn’t suck my ass!” can be considered a rave) of recent weeks. Sigh. As long as there are no pyrophobic Klingons, I’ll try to be generous in my appraisal. Please, God, let there not be pyrophobic Klingons. At least not in Decon… **Horny T’Pol** [seductively]: Hey, you boys looking for a nice time? **Scaredy Klingon 1:** It hot in here or it just me? **SK2:** Hot?! Fire! AAAAAGGHH!!! **SK1** [weeping tears of fright]: AAAAHHHHH **HT’P:** Grrrrooowwwrrrr ---

Dang… Should I bother trying to watch this show any more? Clunker after clunker… crappy changed premises, blatant rip offs of plots… Is there anything that makes this worth watching any more? ---

That is not encouraging… I was watching The two original pilots “The Cage” and “Where no man has gone before” and it dawnwed on me… The producers were pulling their vision of the Early years from… STNG DS9 and Voyager and not from Star Trek! Look at the technology they hint at… Holo suites, nano technology (a la the unexpected and unwanted appearance of the Borg) and also appearences by the later races. What they missed was the retro technology demonstratied by those early pilots which should have been the blue print to where they should have worked backwards from. Where is the Gooseneck on the Captins chair? The Wave technolgy (something needs to be brought on screen it is activated by a wave of the hand over a panel). The Captain’s hat… jackets and back packs for planetary excursions. A red alert that sounds like the one on Pikes Enterprise. The television set in pikes room. The Doctors medical bags. Where are all of these things? Did they suddenly regress for a short time in the 23rd century? The races should be more along the lines seen in the original. Those are the core races that were within the old UFP reach. Andorians, Vulcans Tellerites many human races, Klingons Romulans, Possibly the Tholians. Those giant cave guys from Rigel 7. The Orions and their green Slave women. No Nausicans no Ferenghi, no no no! If you are going to drop juicy hints of the future… use the original series not 225 years into their “supposed future” Sorry for the rant but I’m just bugged at how bad they have done with this series. ---

You’ll be wanting paper printouts and smooth headed Klingons next! 🙂 I tend to agree with you. I wanted them to use “The Forbidden Planet” era stuff. ---
