yup, i believe they did.

That is beyond even Star Trek's level of disregard for reality.

I'm afraid to ask, but I must know the circumstances.

can't remember much, except they never called it a 'black hole', only a 'singularity'.
they got caught in it and used a photon torpedo to shoot their way out of the event horizen.

I believe the event horizon was referred to as an "energy barrier" as well.

Still, given FTL in realspace, the event horizon isn't a terribly important distance anymore. Just go sufficiently faster than light (so as to make outward progress), and you could get out.

Shooting at it is silly (since it is just a defined distance from the singularity, not a physical object). Replace "event horizon" with "geosynchronous orbit" and it should be even more obvious.

The only technobabble that would really make sense is an antigravity bomb.

wonder what a 'novabomb' is. they turned a black hole temporarily into a white hole in the first Andromeda, so they might be anti-gravity or just plain old technobabble.
