OT: Enterprise New thread....

It's kinda funny, with all this low-tech, I keep feeling that they have paper-thin armor and their default-config 'phase cannons' are the galactic equivalent of throwing rocks at a tank.

Great episode, though. I really do like the fact that they come across all these aliens and that Starfleet ain't nowhere near the big fish in the pond yet.

I wonder if they're going to be trading/upgrading their gear as time passes. It'd be cool to come back home with a totally modded Enterprise -- something Voyager failed to do.

Those aliens looked like streched out Mars Attacks aliens.

I enjoyed the side story but the main one was a little week.

A-Team in space where the enterprise is not only the barn but the van as well.

The character development is coming along nicely.

I love how they changed their pathetic beam weapon into a wave motion gun. Why don't my SEIV crews ever think to do that?

The only problem I had with the episode was: Why in the world did Archer and the chief engineer and the weapons officer not realize before now that installing the phase cannons just might possibly be a good idea? Helloooooo??? Guess Star Fleet Academy got better over time. I can't imagine the likes of Kirk, Scotty, Jordi, Miles, or Warf letting neat toys like that sit in a cargo bay.

I don't remember them having beam weapons (except for maybe the first episode, they keep trying those darn torpedos), so it looked like a new installation. Somewhere in here it sounds more like a debate as to whether the Enterprise crew has Energy Stream or Energy Pulse weapons (I go with Energy Stream).

Pretty good episode, I like how they struggled to find out what the favorite food of the security officer was. The main plot wasn't too bad..I liked how right after punching through the shields I was jumping up and down yelling "Fire the torpedos! Fire the torpedos NOW!"

(Yes, I am a loser)

Captain Kwok- I thought these were Romulans too, since the Enterprise initially couldn't scan them. And the look of them.

Enterprise? It's a new Star Trek show based in 2150's before the Federation was formed. It's pretty good. It debut in Sept. 2001 in North America, I guess you guys in Europe are unfortunate...

Yeah, about 18 months behind you

Everytime I speak to my mate in California about this wicked B5 episode I saw or whatever, he used to really bug me to bits by going on about how that was 'so Last year' and 'jeez man you are so behind the times'

made me think of genocide sometimes
