Another object lesson in fairness and tolerance? Zzzzzzz... Well, at least the obligatory Old West episode is out of the way. I think they still have to do the "homage to an old Star Trek episode" episode, though. Related to the suspension of disbelief: I am continually unimpressed with these supposed commandos. They sit out in the open, do the occasional Capt Kirk somersault, and pip away with their rifles like they're trying to conserve ammo. I know some guys on a paint-ball team who'd wipe the floor with these losers.  She had to use her scope to hit the guy in the window? If she were a US Marine, she'd never get out of BT. And haven't they ever heard of suppressive fire? C'mon people! Rock and roll!! Those yahoos with the lever-action rifles and six-shooters shouldn't have had a chance. And how do all these idiots keep boarding Enterprise and avoid getting cut to ribbons? Every time, I think how devastating a single hand grenade would be. Chemical smoke? Drop-down bulkheads? How about killing the lights and using the thermal imaging headgear that's virtually standard-issue in 2003? Oy vey...</blockquote>
