I wish I could have seen Montana

khaosworksOkay, I got it downloaded, so, thoughts as I watch...
Whoo! Big hole still there, yay for continuity. And here we have the answer why they don't go back to Earth for repairs - with the hull compromised they can't go more than Warp 2.
Phlox looks like he's giving poor Malcolm a gynecological exam. Anybody else think that Malcolm's, "You're killing me!" is a homage to Kirk saying the same thing to McCoy in "The Corbomite Maneuver"? Okay, sorry. I'm a geek. "It's unethical to cause harm to a patient. I can inflict as much pain as I like." Hee!
"He'll come out on his own, eventually..." The bloodworm or Malcolm? Oh god, you slash people have infected my brain. I'll need to scrub it clean inside out now.
Yay! Porthos!
You know, Quantum, if you keep furrowing your brow that way, it's going to freeze in... oh, too late.
Why are probes always this bright flashing light? Why can't people just ask instead of rudely probing you without so much as a by-your-leave? Why do I even care?
"Sir!" Well, there goes Mayweather's quota of lines for this episode.
"Everything's in English." That must have been one hell of a probe. They also probed Malcolm? Was it good for him? Okay, that was a cheap shot. Sorry. Ohmigod, Maywho has more lines. This is must be compensation for him dying later.
Replicator technology. Cool. Okay, the fact they can scan all this is starting to creep me out - and I see Quantum's creeped out too. Trip, of course, is just concentrating on the food. Stupid Trip.
You know, what with everyone chowing down and knowing - just knowing some kind of horrible cost is going to be exacted for this reminds me of that planet in the Battlestar Galactica pilot where those insect guys ran a pleasure planet where the cost was the occasional client being used for larva chow.
Team Bill and Ted... uh, Trip and Malcolm in action again! God, they're giving Maywho a lot of screen time. He is so dead.
Aaaand... he is. Furrow furrow furrow. You know, Quantum seems more on the verge of tears more than any of the others. I mean, yeah, of course Archer would be affected, and Bakula's not a bad actor for emoting that, but compared to the near non-reaction of the others it's just an odd contrast.
Linda Park shows off her acting chops and makes me fall in love with her more.
You know, that model on Maywho's desk looks like the diagram of the Nomad probe we see on screen in "The Changeling" - i.e. Nomad in its uncoverted state. Nomad was launched from Earth to explore extrasolar space in August 2020.
What? It's not Maywho? He's not dead? Aw. Could have fooled me - the corpse pretty got only marginally less lines than he ever got over the course of last season. Hang on... I'm no doctor, but wouldn't microbes in the body die when the body dies? Or is this explained away by the fact that these are alien bugs?
T'pol goes "Ah, to Hell with it," and shoots the door open. Lovely thing, logic. And we come upon a scene looking like a cross between "The Matrix" and "Coma".
Ah, so it's a "Spock's Brain" kind of deal. Lemme see... I can spot a Klingon, what looks like a Vulcan... is that a Cardassian next to Maywho? He has the neck ridges for it.
Heh. I thought the camera lingered on the "Warp Plasma: Extreme Caution" label a bit longer than necessary earlier. Neat.
You know, if death is what it takes for Mayweather to get more screen time, Anthony Montgomery should lobby for more death scenes.
And the repair station repairs itself. Nice ending.
Wow. Did not suck. People acted relatively intelligently, nice pacing, good continuity. Who are these writers? When did the alien pods replace the ones we knew? Can we keep them, please?
Grade: A.

Date: 2002-10-10 12:26 pm (UTC)The station and tube seemed very clean. How did they get dirt on their faces?
Instead of a cardy, I thought it was one of Phlox's folks. Thought that it being a cardy would be a nice touch.
200 liters of warp plasma? O+ or AB-? Plasma when you are talking high energy fields is one of the effects of the HE field. How do you bottle it? Maybe if it had asked for a kilo of anti-matter that would be something hard to replicate.
"everything in english" guess the system was not confused by a vulcan on board or crew members who spoke other languages (or with Hoshi many others).
Who was looking out from the computer when Archer was yelling at it?
Ladies in the house went "Heeeeeello Helmsman Nurse" for his shirtless scene.
Next week, we get sexy dreams. Whoo Hoo, lots of skin.
The Blessed Ship
Date: 2002-10-11 12:14 am (UTC)Why? Because NO ONE DIES in this series. This is some kind of extra-blessed ship or something. No one dies. Compare to the first season any other Trek series.
Of course, this could well be some kind of curse. One day, some crew member will be blown into the vacuum of space, then shot, then flayed, then disembowelled, then burned to a crisp...and STILL WON'T DIE!!!1! He or she will just float through space for all eternity, suffering horribly, but never dying.
