Manv,
Good post.

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

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).

This show gave a hint on one of the rules that the fed is later based on. When archer wanted to knock out the novians and the transport them back to the ship then try to convice them to return to earth. Ta'pol pointed out that the novian way of live would be lost and that was not right. They then decided to help them relocate to a safe spot on the planet.

the makings of a fed rule.......
