mav,

I never said they traded the cloak tech. I ask what you thought happened to the holo tech that was given to the klingon captain?
I was just fishing for thoughts on this.

Well, I still gave my thoughts about the holo tech.

As for the unkown character, if I remember correctly, I think he's human. His hair, body features (that could be deserned), and clothing, lead to either human, or one of the species that have the basic siiloete of a human (Bajorians are one).

Romulans and Vulcans could be ruled out, their hairstyle's different from the badguy's (again, if I remember correctly, and their hairstyles are pretty consistent from character to character); Klingon's ridges and body shape would be easily detectable; Carasians, Kazon, and other 'headgear' (the actors have to wear big ruber masks and body apperance mods) just didn't match the siloelete.

To talk about your thoughts alittle (not insulting, just observeing and thinking):
1. He's from a alt universe, so time travel to our universe's past may be a little difficult, even for Treknobable. But that would be an interesting plot twist.
2. Naw. It's Kirk, I mean, why would HE come back to screw the Federation?
3. Sela (sp), was her name, but the badguys (again, if I remember correctly) had the profile of a man, and not one of a Romulan female.
4. Lor? Thought he was blown up or dismattled? Have to watch the TNG episodes that he was in. But that would be an interesting plot twist also. Do like in First Contact, go to the past, contact the Borg, or something like that. But I really don't know why he'd go back to screw the Fed.

Ah, well, trying to figure out who or what Trek badies are is really confuseing, and it's usually better to just let the writers explain it.

better not be a borg.

I am so sick of the borg. You think a species that can conquer vast regions of space would get over the human factor ( ie really badly written story line )


If they have this enterprise beat them up I think I will scream.

That would be as bad as Star Wars esp 6. ( Worst ending ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

that's funny, I almost posted a borg also. But I thought that it did not sound like one.

ok new show.

yep.

Hey arn't they supposed to be a military based organization.

Yep. That's why we send 80% of our command infastructure on all away missions. Stupid

But hey at least it is predictable.

Wouldn't want a show that is orginal in any way.

Tonights. esp. two thumbs down.

Horrible. Contrived , and zero orginal thought.

Going through the motions.

When I heard that line.

"can we use the transporters "

I thought the answer should have been.

'Sorry to early in the show. We have to have a 'problem happen' where the two leaders help each other solve the problem, and whola. Story ends'

Man. was I surprised.

Please keep the insults non personal.

Thanks

Hey, the Terrans/Federation didn't actually clue in to the fact that command staff should not be on the front lines until after TOS

quote:
When I heard that line:
"can we use the transporters "
Everybody should probably assume that the transporter won't work.
IE: the question "The transporter won't work down there, will it?"
"Of course not!"
"The Last time we beamed somebody up from a planet, he had leaves stuck in him; this time he's sitting on rocks. I don't think so."

IMO, it looks like they can barely get the beam through an atmosphere (wind -> turbulence -> bad). The space station in ep1 was sitting in a nice calm area, and its hull is not terribly deep, dense or irregular (with all the docked pods blown away).
