Finally saw it. Not terribly dissappointed. Finally getting rid of the Teporal Cold War makes this mini arc worth it.
I liked the occupied New York City scenes, including the rampant racism and the mob tough guys with their casual approach to killing. Made it a little more real.
They didn’t adequately explain the cause of Daniel’s weird problem.
Quantum was able talk while transporting. Hmmm. Seems like we’ve discussed that before.

POUR MILK ON HIM!
And if there is any doubt that these dogs were, in fact, Nazis, I hasten to remind y’all that they were German Shepherds. (Coincidence?!)
Well, I haven’t seen this episode yet, and I’m guessing I won’t till they start doing repeats. Ah well, better luck next week. The summer got me into the silly habit of not watching much tv. I guess I have to break it.
Yeah - it wasn’t as bad as I expected. I only yelled at the tv twice.
When?
The click .45 and exploding dogs?
Well, I liked it. When the season ended last year, I groaned. “Oh shit! Nazis! Quantum on the Edge of Forever!” But it wasn’t bad. I’ll keep watching.
Didn’t both Saavik and Kirk yak while beaming in ST2 and/or ST6?
Quantum was able talk? You able type? 
Pick pick pick
Call me when they show T’pol without her shirt.
Aes, I’ll send tapes this week, some time. Maybe I should fill them up faster with a treacle-fix for you, like Seventh Heaven. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?
Different parts of his body were different ages – some super-geriatric, some infantile.
This was because it involved time. And stuff.
Surely that explains everything.
Oh, all right, ya big baby. He ran into some chronoton interference while bypassing the quantum phase-modulators in the soliton static warp shell plasma conduit mesons, thereby disrupting the subspace graviton polarity field. Happy?
Was that so hard, you pointy eared freak? ^:dubious:^
I hesitate to ask, but isn’t that Brit for “jam” or “jelly”?
Could be, but I was using it in the sense of “gooey,” “sappy,” “syrupy,” “saccharine” and more.
Okay, I gave in to the social pressure, and I watched this Friday night. Didn’t check the Dope until today, though.
My opinion: —yawn—
Pretty much inert, all around. There wasn’t really anything in this episode that couldn’t have been done equally as well by virtually any other sci-fi show. In fact, I’d bet that if we on the Dope put our pointy heads together, we could have done a lot better.
As far as I’m concerned, Enterprise at this level of quality is a placeholder. By that I mean, “the sci-fi show I watch because as a self-respecting geek I have to watch at least one sci-fi show, and if none of them is particularly good I’ll pick one more or less at random.”
Problem is, I know what the show should be, how good it could be, so it’s markedly more irritating to watch this mediocre effort than, say, Stargate: Atlantis, which is also pretty generic but which (for me) doesn’t have a lot to live up to. In a weird way, a C episode of S:A is more entertaining for me than a C episode of Ent because there’s nothing for it to be failing to live up to. (I didn’t watch SG-1. I started watching S:A as a hedge against Ent continuing to suck.)
Now Lost is turning out to be pretty good, and we’ve got the resurrected Battlestar Galactica coming in a couple of months. Bottom line? Not sure Enterprise is gonna make the cut.
Still, I’ll give Coto at least a few weeks: long enough to dispense with the completely retarded cliffhanger he inherited from the Bermaga and had to figure out how to handle, and to establish a new direction for his own material. And the quicker it looks like he’s going to wrap up that unbelievably stupid “temporal cold war” thing, the better, and the more likely I am to hang around.
Oh, and for the record, the alien-Nazi makeup BLOWS.
:::makes a quick phone call, just to be sure:::
Yep. Hell has indeed frozen over.
Welcome back, felow Trek Doper!
What did I miss?
And what’s the area code?
Cerv is back in ENT threads, and
wait for it
666
of course
S/He was gone?
Technically, not. After the idiotic Nazi cliffhanger, following on a rather dull action-packed finale, I said I was hanging it up and wouldn’t be around for the fourth season.
Then, over the summer, two things happened: Manny Coto was promoted and said he’d be changing the show around some, and I realized how much I would miss these Trek threads.
So here I am. For the time being, anyway.
So love me while you can.
