What the heck is the light shining on the ventral side of Enterprise in the fly by at the start of the episode? It isn’t a sun because they are traveling at warp. Why when the ship undocks with Enterprsie does it roll to be in the same plane as NX 01? They’ve traveled the whole way sideways in relation to Enterprise. Two used plots, but well handled. We know that the protagonists won’t die in the cave, but it was still riveting. The slide down the rock verged on the comic, though. My favorite line is from Tripp: “If you don’t start movin’ in five seconds, I’m gonna take my phase pistol and shoot you in the ass!” ---

AHH Tribbles! I was yelling " NO PHLOX YOU FOOL!" at the screen. Did they make up the lizard thing or was it canon? I thought it was good, the two plots were well handled. Travis got hurt, all in all, good stuff. ---

Mrs. Plant was _really, really, really_ pissed when he fed the tribble to the reptile. It was, shall we say, unexpected. ---

_noticing **NCB** ’s new location and helpfully dousing him_ Letsee, it was water in the red bucket and gasoline in the white bucket, right? Oh, no it wasn’t. Shit - sorry, man! _running away as fast as my little legs can carry me_ _Are_ there tribbles, or are you kids fooling me? 'Cause I likes tribbles. They’re cute and fun. When I was a little girrel, I wanted one. A real one. Neutured, though. ---

Yes, there is a tribble. Yes, Phlox feeds it to one of his animals. ---

YIKES!!! Phlox’s animal -eats- the Tribble?! OMG!!! Actually, I really like Phlox, and am looking forward to seeing the episode tonight. So, I’m glad to hear that the episode doesn’t suck. Now, when are we going to meet the Tellarites?! 😃 ---

You guys just pay attention tonight and tell me where the hell that light shining on the bottom of Enterprise like the opening of a used car dealership comes from, ok? Dammit. 🙂 ---

If you’re going to be like that, you might as well ask where _any_ of the light in deep interstellar space comes from. Seems to me it would be a dim, vague, nondirectional wash. But no, there’s always a bright single source, like they’re flying by a casino or something. To the episode: Please don’t suck. Please don’t suck. Please don’t suck. ---

the light is there because of SPACE LIGHTBULBS FROM VENUS! ---

There are FOUR lights! It’s out of picture, obviously, but it must have been a reflection nebula. Think about it. ---

plant, are you talkin’ about that big buld that looked like an eye with a super small pupil that was on the bottom of the NX-01? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-the-breach-spoilers-really/170475.md?page=2)
