[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 7247075, member: 3887"] It would be challenging to write positive, optimistic stories about the genesis of phasers & photon torpedos. They're weapons of mass destruction (the ship-mounted versions, at least). There's precedent for that sort of organic technology, though: the giant space bacteria, Species 867-5309 (sp) and Fluid Space, etc. I also kinda liked that way spore-demo recalled the Iconian gates, as if to suggest they shared a common underlying technology. I didn't like Angry Tory Foster dropping the containment field, but thinking back the issue was the direction; scene's too short. We see the bio-monitors dropping & hear the computer state the knockout protocol worked, but the action moved too fast not to seem reckless & illogical. It's surprisingly good, isn't it? Better than Seth McFarlane's direct-from-video-to-video sequel to ST:TNG has any right being (and I like Seth). [/QUOTE]
