Ah, no. It was annoying but I still caught it well enough. My biggest complaint was that I missed the new music and a good look at the five Xindi species (which I think is stupid, by the way. I can believe in two sentient species per planet. Maybe even three since one was aquatic, but _five_? Not buying it.) Also, if they want to foreshadow, put Hoshi and T’Pol in miniskirts. I don’t see how the spandex catsuit is any more TOS than the jumpsuits that the Enterprise crew wear currently. By the way, can you tape Jake 2.0 for me too, if it’s not too much of a hassle? I liked the pilot episode… looks like it could be a cool show. ---

Yes, I will be taping both ENT and Jake; that second one is pretty good, I think. Interesting idea and they’re doing a good job with it, so far. I emailed you about the whole tape thing. I think I’ll just have to buy a bunch of new Fujis and put some of the old ones away. They’ve been taped over many, many times. ---

On **my** revolver, the ejector rod goes through the **dead center** of the cylinder. It pushes on the back of a kinda star-shaped doodad that the cartridge rims are all resting on, so that all of the empty casings can be ejected from the cylinder at once. As far as I know, **all** revolver ejectors are supposed to work that way. So why is this revolver’s ejector-rod pointing not at the center of the cylinder, but at the chamber immediately to the left of the active chamber? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Aesiron \* > \*\*By the way, I really hate the new spandex outfit that T’pol’s wearing. It looks cheap. And does she have a new hairdo? It looked weird. \*\* There is definitely **something** different about T’Pol from the neck up this season. I can’t quite put my finger on it, though. Maybe they’re using a slightly tanner shade of stage makeup? ---

So why is this revolver’s ejector-rod pointing not at the center of the cylinder, but at the chamber immediately to the left of the active chamber? \*\* There’s one major difference between your revolver and the one in the link. On your revolver the cylinder swings out. The revolver in the link has a fixed cylinder. Yes, yes, it rotates, but nothing else. On your revolver there are half moon shaped flanges that cover the back of the cylinder. On the type of revolver in the link there is a port on the left flange. That allows one bullet at a time to be pushed out the back of the chamber that is lined up with the ejector rod. The top of the right flange pivots outward exposing the back of one chamber. To load, insert one cartridge, turn cylinder, insert next cartridge, repeat. No speed loaders for this pistol. I hope I explained that well enough. [/hijack] ---

Now it makes sense. So … since it’s like the revolvers they have in Westerns, does that mean he’s just gonna shoot the guns out of my hands?
