I think it’s Bermaga’s insidious plot to turn out dreck and then at the last minute make a B-show so that it looks like an A in comparison. Then they can put all those accolades in their resume. Same thing in a job - how many put in goals that are mediocre so that you get an excel at your performance review instead of putting in lofty goals and getting a met or needs-improvement? Just how stupid the idea is goes to show you what Bermaga considers “insidious”.
Frankly I think caucasians look like orange-skins for the most part. Who have you seen that looks like cotton-candy? But thne, Hey Tangerine Boy" doesn’t really have that harsh ring to it, does it? And then there’s the Green Orion Slave Women.
What do Mandy’s cups have do with this? … Oh, cut! Well, I’m still clueless.
Good point, but I don’t give them that much credit.
I missed the episode on Wedensday because it was pre-empted for a Suns game but I caught it last night. I tend to agree with the people who give it a solid B. It was good, but not spectacular.
Corner Case, the Andorians have actual sheilds as apposed to “hull plating” Maybe the Xindi can’t use their sensors through them. Also, I thought T’pol talked about a dense field of anomolies, not spheres.
30%?. Thirty freekin’ percent??!! I’m not sure what’s worse, no backup or a really, really lousy one. Pull out the 22nd century zip disks or DVDs or something for the really important data, if nothing else. I can just see it:
T’pol: Captain, it is vital that we have a backup of this irreplaceable data.
Archer: But I’ll have to copy over some of my water polo matches! Waahh!
Will someone explain to me how the Xindi superweapon was a failure?
Xindi Weapons developer: Fire!
Other Xindi: You fool! Even though most or all of the surface of the moon was ripped off, there wasn’t a really nifty planet explosion. You are a miserable failure!
*Speaking of the superweapon, does anyone else find it less than credible that they’re having that much trouble creating one? Right now, if we really put our minds to it, we, with our current state of technology could pretty much make our world uninhabitable. And if we think that a few thousand h-bombs are bad, how about a few dozen 1-2 kilometer rocks sped up to a good fraction of lightspeed? Ever since the birth of the atomic age, the trouble with warfare isn’t lack of force - it’s the ability to direct and apply the force precisely. Destroying is much, much easier than conquering.
*While Vertigo had a couple of great scenes, I far preferred Rear Window. Not only did that movie show me that James Stewart was a heck of a lot more than just George Bailey, it made me understand the country’s fascination with Grace Kelly. Was that woman aptly named, or what?
But did the Humans or Andorians know if the Xindi could or could not scan the Human bio-signs on the Andorian ship? Also, I was assuming that all anomalies are caused by Spheres and I was referring to the diagram of circles behind T’Pol as she said that.
And we’ll never have a scene about data backup again. Okay, at the most it’ll be some side-comment in some later episode like, “Glad we installed that backup storage.” {Uh, from where? And why weren’t you using it before?} I bet Bermaga thinks that to prevent problems during an EMP surge they just need some RAID storage.
The Xindi council wanted the thing TOTALLY DESTROYED. No wonder they’re having such a hard time! Yes, they could drop and asteroid or release a bio-weapon, but if it didn’t kill EVERY LAST HUMAN, it is apparently worthless. Boy, what happens when little Johnny comes home from school with an A-? OFF WITH HIS HEAD! No, no no - I love my people … Pull!
And the frustration with seeing and not being able to act is gripping. I always wondered if Perry Mason could get Lars acquited.
Boy, are they gonna be ticked off when they find out there are like 893245 human colonies so far, and that’s just the humans aliens have transplanted to other worlds!
NCB: The cool little gadget you sent is even better than a Xindi Super Happy Fun Ball (not that I have one around to compare…). Now, if I could just get me a ksuser.dll (please tell me “ks” doesn’t stand for kirkspock), I’d be able to see the pix.
Aes : Watch yer mail and don’t fling the package around, 'kay?
It seemed like every week one of the Enterprises or Voyager or DS9 was running into humans on some random planet. So humans are already out there, like cockroaches, and the Xindi could have all the RAID in the galaxy, but they won’t kill us dead.
Even if the Xindi wipe out Earth and all of the colonies, there’s still Amelia Earhart and Khan floating around in space. There was that Air Force officer, but he’s probably dead in the Hotel Royale already. So, Khan could be pleased that the Xindi destroyed the ancestors of all of his imprisoners, or pissed that he has no one to rule. Anyway, he and Amelia could restart the human race.
Where are the damn Organians when you need them?
