[QUOTE="Richards, post: 488226, member: 508"] Eh, I'm still not convinced. (Or I'm in an argumentative mood, take your pick. :)) True, T'Pol said she could turn the ship around on her own and head back the way they came, but that it would take too long. And I agree - but only if they went back under impulse power. My whole point is, there's no reason why they couldn't go to warp at that point, and then they'd be out of the radiation zone in no time at all. (Of course, that does kind of put a damper on the excitement for the episode.) Plus, looking back at my 5 "given facts," it looks like I only botched up the first one. The other four are still true (if you ignore the parenthetical suppositions I added onto points 4 and 5). As for T'Pol's name, the "T-apostrophe" prefix seems to be pretty common among Vulcan females. When I first heard about T'Pol being a character on the new Star Trek show (which I knew was going to take place in the pre-Kirk days), I thought they had said "T'Pau," and I was expecting a younger version of the high priestess that presided over Spock's "fight Kirk to the death for the right to mate" ceremony. I'm glad they didn't go [I]that[/I] route. :) In any case, I'm hoping for a much better episode this week. Let's hear it for transporter malfunctions! Woo hoo! Johnathan [/QUOTE]
