Don’t forget the effects of atmospheric distortion. They never have said they have adaptive optics. Maybe they have another way to stabalize the beam.
Remember also, they seem to prefer torpedos and shuttles on this series over “phase canon” and transporter. The latter two are new-ish technology to this generation of Trek. At least, that’s how the first season of ENT presented it.
Nah. That’s 125 mph. More like strafing a ground target from an airplane. Say, a P51 Mustang. ^:dubious:^
On the numerous time paradox’s I think Basil Exposition’s advice in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is probably the best course of auction unless you don’t want your head to fly off.
I took it to me that Daniels and his Time Boy Scouts was able to return to the past to restore the timeline without the interference of Vosk the vampire knockoff.
Still, the episode moved along nicely enough based on having to undue the damage of last season’s Planet of the Apes remake quality “cliffhanger”.
And even when things make no sense, just repeat “it’s still better then season two”
Can someone describe the teaser for next week? (or is there little to it other than nekkid T’Pol?)
I missed the UPN show, and the other channel doesn’t show the teasers.
Thanks!
From memory:
Glimpse of T’Pol looking very dusty, presumably on Vulcan being told she has no choice, what is she going to do? the challenge?
Then a glimpse of her choosing and kissing Tripp, that looked like it was in the set up for Amok time. The shot faded quick, with special effect, I don’t know if the effects were for the trailer only, but if they were in the ep, I’d almost think it was a dream sequence.
Much appreciated.
Mixing up dentistry and proctology would be better than season two.
Actually, it took all of this season and two thirds of the next to finish off the Temporal Cold War. However, in the last episode, they travel back to Storm Front, Part II, and finally help stop Vosk, and shoot Silik in the process (he didn’t die originally, but instead escaped with Vosk through his time corridor, which is one of the problems that extended the TCW), so now the Temporal Cold War ends with this episode.
Hope that helps.
Here’s my take. Voskk grew up in the “baseline” 29th century where the temporal accords were in place and time travellers didn’t go about messing with folks. He didn’t like it. He and his followers disappeared (and maybe had various adventures in the timeline), ending up in late-'30’s/early-'40’s Germany, where they weren’t dumkopfs but were smarties so they joined the Nazi Party. They used the Nazi’s as dupes while building their conduit. In the first screwed up timeline, when Voskk and his followers left 1944 New York they travelled into the future where they got the drop on whoever was then policing the timestream and started a shooting war. This war destabilized the politics in the 29th century (and early periods) so much that individual factions started dropping their agents all over the place. (The only way this makes sense is to think of each timeline as a series of branches which all coexist rather than a path which changes its course.) These various agents did whatever they did (including shooting Lenin, saving the Suliban, duping the Xindi into trying to destroy Earth, etc.). However, by stopping Voskk at an earier point in his personal timeline, Enterprise stopped the TCW from ever getting started, thereby making it so that the agents who shot Lenin, etc., never got sent in the first place, so those aberrations never happened.
