Enterprise 10/17
 

"One of the first things a diplomat learns is not to stick his fingers where they don't belong."

:lol:

cool intro ... water based showers ..

but we already have replicators ???

and the beginning reminded me a lot of the first season of DS9 (nothing works) ..

anyways .. i cannot believe HOW MUCH they have spoiled the show in last week's teaser already ... well .. keep on watching ...

I don't think it was a replicator, but an automated version of a pop fountain at a fast food place

yeah, you are right, could be ... but at least voice activated :) .. i think this is what made me think of replicator :)


well .. overall .. yeah .. i liked the episode .. but i cannot say really why .. . it had a lot of techno babble in the beginning .... i like howe T'pol sits in the captains chair :)

it was a really nice to watch episode ... curious whats coming next ...

well according to canon

Meet her holograph parents hee hee hee

"Hey, I can see my house from here!"

Anyone care to explain to me why this race, masters of cloaking technology and holodecks, needed Gomer Pyle's help with their engines?

das

My thoughts exactly.... so I now switch channels when the episode ends and won't watch the teaser.

Was thinking the exact same thing, which is why I spent the great majority of the episode thinking

interesting thought Duran :)

well .. my main thought last night was

"If I was Jonathan Archer, helping an alien vessel not only once, but twice, having no problem having them share their holodeck technology with the Klingons .... and everyone seems to be quite fascinated by it. Wouldn't I ask for that same technology ??? "

hmmm ...

oh .. and it is ok to show nipple and call it nipple on TV as long as it is anatomically at the wrong spot ??? yeah yeah !

enterprise - the nipple show

time to see T'pol's again :)

'..put those nipples to use.' :D


Funniest episode so far - I enjoyed it.

I thought the episode was great. I was kind of disappointed in seeing a holodeck though. You would figure that since they are friends, that the Feds would have holodeck technology a lot sooner than the TNG timeframe. It looks like Klingon Battle Cruiser design remained the same for over 100 years.

I also like the way T'Pol sits in the cap'ns chair. :D

So, just what do you do about the gazillions of teasers in between episodes. Last week, SU2 was filled with them. To borrow an old phrase, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a spoiler.

WIZDAR, Is this from 'ANGEL' ?

Wesley: “I suppose it’s one of the unwritten laws of being a dick. …Ah, um, a sleuth, a gumshoe, Sherlock.

Gunn: “All I know is, you use the word “dick” again and we gonna have a problem.”

You betcha! ONLY because YOU, dear friend, have my favorite quote of all time as YOUR sig.

[heavy sigh]

I thought it was an entertaining episode, but there's one thing that was really stupid.

'Here's some gelatinous cubes, it's the closest we could get to your water.' Then later on he's on a boat in the holodeck floating on water. I thought perhaps it would be some other fluid, but when he's back on the Enterprise describing it it's water and he says he could even smell the salt air.

Hooray for the awfulness of my local UPN affiliate!!! Tuned in last night, and after about five seconds it froze, and then the screen went blank, before evetually saying 'LOSS OF SIGNAL' and such. It remained that way for a good five minutes, so I popped
in a movie, and will have to catch the weekend syndication rerun.

Good Dog. Happy Captain. Nice show.

Why is it the Klingons spoke English? According to the earlier episodes, the universal translator isn't exactly "universal" quite yet. (That's why we have Hoshi). But we have Klingons that actually speak Earth-tongue. What's up with that?

Selective use of continuity is a frustrating thing.

Oh and the new "Enterprise" cliche is getting a little annoying. I'm referring of course to the way the characters always make a note of precisely how many weeks they've been on their journey. If B&B were going to dive into this continuity thing, then they should just go balls-out. But unfortunately, I think the best we'll get is the occasional dialogue footnote about what happened with "species X" such-and-such weeks back.

*sigh*

I gotta say I was extremely disappointed to see a holodeck, even if it was on an alien craft.

And the crew's reaction was priceless. Yeah, just imagine what we could do with that (wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more). Well, we've already seen what they do with it. Act out stuffy victorian ******** and bad gumshoe novels.

I always thought the holodeck was a cheap plot element and any story involving getting trapped on it or hoho characters coming to life was utterly pointless. I swear, if they build their own holodeck, I'm going to stop watching.

I agree (especially about the wink-wink part). Although, I did like Tucker's reaction when he said that he wouldn't even bother going on shoreleave if they had one.

Got to agree that the holodeck was a major misstep... And giving it to the Kingons this early is a continuity disaster... Although it did provide us with the line: "Hey, I can see my house from here!" :rolleyes: :)

No. It's only ok to show a man's nipples.


Also, is it me or did these Klingons seem rather tame?

I think Hoshi had gotten the klingon language loaded into the comm system

[Heavy sigh] Yah, my favorite part of the female form.


We're WAY past nipples (as far as talking about them), thanks to Bill and Monica. ;)

I have to agree, and that's a major reason I never watched any of the other ST shows very much. After that holodeck has taken over the Enterprise a few times and held people hostage at other times, it seems like they'd shut it down for good.

I'm glad Im not the only one that caught the stupidity of that.

and I too like the way T'Pol sits in the captains chair -other-

Yes, but the water they were floating on was holographic, remember. One would hope the stuff they were feeding him was not. :)

But, didn't she act like she didn't know what water was?

Who was the chick that got Trip pregnant? She had this smoldering sexiness that cross species line.

I find myself incapable of looking away when T'Pol is onscreen. :)

I took it to mean that they didn't have any/couldn't synthesize it. I have a hard time believing a spacefaring race wouldn't know what you get when you combine 2 hydrogen atoms with 1 oxygen.

I’m going more for Whitledge (Nick Adams in No Time For Sergeants) :)

Coupla thoughts:

The Enterprise is supposed be a more functional, perhaps cramped, ship. So, why is the captain’s shower (-eek-)about the same size as the captain’s mess?

T’Pol as a stand-up comic: don’t quit your day job. (I think the gnome on SU2 has better delivery.)

Flox: you’d think with all the advances that medicine has made, they could fix the side of your mouth that doesn’t work. Physician, heal thyself.

If this is the only time they use a holodeck, I think I can live with it. If they do it again, I think the writers should take a substantial cut in pay. Save the laziness for the obligatory time-travel series conclusion.

Reality check: decompression takes a lot more time than compression.

My vote for worst line of the season: “I can see my house from here.”

Series constants, so far: technology breakdown, meal in the captain’s mess, scene with the dog, T’Pol’s knockers (:)) -- anything else?



Wizdar’s pick for where “that line” should have been:

Gravity is restored and Archer falls to the floor of the shower.
Archer: “Ho, boy!”

:D

:lol:

das

Was wondering the exact same thing .. one may hope that he has to share it with Hoshi and T'Pol and we get to see that sometime soon :)

P

The way they've been exploiting T'Pol, if the ratings start to fall, I predict mini skirts and low-cut tops.

I don't see the problem with the holodeck here, and the people who don't see how they would suck at space travel. Maybe they just FOCUSED more on holodeck technology. Some species seem to do thing better than others. That's how I rationalize it to myself.
