> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Santos L Halper \* > **I assumed the pictures were send digitally and printed out on Enterprise.** I thought of that too, but it doesn’t make sense. Why print them on paper? Doesn’t everybody have a display device? Heck, in 150 years the kids will probably use MacPaint instead of crayons. So why bother with hardcopy? Further, this would seem to close the door on the FTL radio discussion, since _Enterprise_ is receiving messages from Earth less than 3 months into its mission. I can live with them rejiggering established continuity to allow for subspace radio ahead of schedule. But I cannot excuse them (the producers) for failing to exploit a feature that would have made this show unique in the franchise. ---

Who cares about the faster-than-light speed, or airlocks, or gravity, or decontamination? I want to know **why they can’t get some better flashlights**. C’mon, man, even on X-Files their flashlights illuminate better than the ones on Enterprise. I hope they start lighting the sets better eventually, 'cause I’m already tired of straining my eyes to see what’s going on. I’d already have given up on the show if my husband would just stop watching it. ---

Flashlights-It may be one of their few accuaracies. Without air to reflect the light, they may not appear the same. Airlocks-maybe they can be removed to save room and mass. FTL radio-It was suggested on a board of lesser quality that since the Vulcan monastary had a transmitter, Enterprise uses some Vulcan device to communicate. Hard Copy-Some of us buy a paper despite the NYT website. So, do I win a Geek award? Why do we do this? Nobody explains how they had weapons on Bonanza twenty years before they were invented. Hell, nobody noticed. ^:)^ ---
