Enterprise 05-26-04

[Vocenoctum]

I'll explain it very simply.
The guy from the future tried to shift Archer out of the explosion.
Something went wrong and he got shifted into earths past. Why he was shifted to earth and not into space, well, thats a convinent writer plothole. Something about electrons and deflector dishes.

When he found out where Archer was he prolly shifted Enterrpise after she left the Aquatic ship.

I havne't watched this season, or well, most of last. I don't really like the time travel stuff and its rampant. But, can the guy from the future actually shift an entire ship?

Personal Theory: that space station that got blown up created some kind of effect. It was experimental, so it must have had Time Particles in the Dilithium crystals.

It had to be a lingering effect, since Enterprise didn't travel back until they got near earth...

And, just once, I wish they'd smack into another time traveler when they went back. Enterprise-A should circle around and smack into another Enterprise, or maybe Voyager. Has Defiant come back this far?

I like space battles, too bad the whacky time travel plots have to get in the way of it all. And why are the Future Humans so wimpy? We only get one to counter the vast armies the other forces get? BAH!

Looks like a Turtledovian plot to me...

Wasn't Defiant the Roswell spaceshift or at least involved with that somehow? I know it was DS9, but I don't reacll if it was the Defiant or not.

 

[Silver Moon]

Lets see, Nazi's are a staple Startrek Badguy.

Actually they're the best villains for any series in any era. I mean, how can you beat the Nazi's! Heck, even this year's Angel show had an episode with them.

Personally I thought the ending was unnecessary overkill in what would have otherwise been a near-perfect episode.

No, that was Quark and his personal ship.

Not really.

You cant have a startrek season finale without a cliffhanger leading into the first episode of the next season.

 

[Green Knight]

Nazi aliens.

"Rrrriiiiiiggggghhhhhhhht."

I think I'll stick to the DS9 re-runs on Spike TV. The Golden Shower Fetishists can keep watching Enterprise.

You know, I've generally liked Enterprise, but something bothers me about this season. Whatever happened to giving alien races *real* names. I mean- you've got all these members of the Xindi with race names like "reptilian", "arboreal", "aquatic", etc. Can't the writers be bothered to give the races their own names? It reeks to me of the whole "Species 742" or whatever those Borg killers were called back in the day. (And yes, I suppose Borg isn't terribly original either, but at least it's a name in keeping with a culture that prides itself on its lack of individuality).

Whatever happened to names like "Romulan", "Ferengi", "Klingon". Now we just get a generic description of the race's function- as if we couldn't tell from looking at them that the bug-looking-men are "insectoids".

 

[Basin?]

They do have their own names, but translated into english it's "reptilian", "arboreal" etc. See how watching shows like Star Trek vastly improves your rationalizing skills?

That's good- I like that. But let's see how good your rationalizing skills really are, eh?

*cracking knuckles*

How come certain races, like the insectoids, speak in an obviously alien tongue, but everyone else (such as the reptilians) speaks english?

(More seriously, one of the things I loved about this series in the first season was the fact that they didn't have universal translators, and thus needed Hoshi to help them with languages. As a sort of "linguistic hobbyist" that idea really intrigued me. Unfortunately, this season, at least, they seem to have ignored that completely. )
