Maybe I should of gone with Star Trek (sic) Enterprise for the thread title? thanks das

Naw. Trying to put those two together is just (sic).

WTF is an “NX-01”? Has anybody used “1701” to refer to the ship/crew in the past? Or is the unnamed author too embarrassed to use the “E” word?

And, about the opening credits: has the “big change” happened? I mean, I notice the unfortunate juxtaposition of words that caused Tivo Season Pass folks some grief. And they threw some caffeine at the song. Is that it? I mean, is that it? Knowwhadahmean?

Ok maybe I missed an episode (gasp!) but how come the ship isnt bending the laws of physics anymore--balooning up and turning crewmembers inside out?

I dont recall them mentioning they retrofitted the ships hull. Was it thrown in somewhere as an afterthought instead of a plot point?

Now, you should be able to answer that question yourself.

A plot point involves thinking ahead and planning
Afterthought, well.....doesn't

Which fits Enterprise better?

I know, I know but its BUGGING me because I was looking for it. Did i miss it being mentioned? Did they even say "Hey Trip, work on lining the ship hull"

The pirate prisoner MENTIONED lining the hull but geez is that all we get?

This is hardly a complete or accurate answer, but here you go:

[IMO]"The Expanse" episode last season involved plenty of ship updates. They didn't go into detail of everything. Which means, they can explain away anything they want to in the future as being part of the upgrades in that episode. [/IMO]

I'm sure ratings this week will soar once all the "trekkies" realize that this is a "Star TreK"- Enterprise show, and not just a plain old Enterprise show.

Good scripts? Bah! Who needs good scripts?

All the “trekkies” already know that this ain’t “Star Trek,” ain’t never been “Star Trek,” and ain’t never gonna be “Star Trek.”

You can say that a pig is a cow, but that don’t make it Kosher.

(And, yes, I know you’re joking. But 5 bucks says at least two readers won’t get it. )

But does it taste like chicken?

OK. Three.

True idiocy is when you try to speak on behalf of everyone.

Another week, another stupid TiVo problem: didn't record again. This time I didn't catch it in time and missed the opening.

The TiVo gods are trying to tell me something.

It was good to see the kid from MASK as the seller of female slaves.

Man...tough crowd...

I never got into the old Star Trek, but I've really enjoyed Enterprise...haven't missed an episode (no Tivo issues here-my PVR works just fine). I this episode was pretty good...even got the kids hooked on it now.

Naval Experimental 01.

The Enterprise here is the first deep space warp vessel... so technically it's still experimental.

stupid Tivo didn't record it b/c of the name change. Bastards!

whoa..

does tivo contain an AI chip..?

I think Chew's right..it seems it's trying to tell you guys something..

HEED its warning.

You have to change your subscription, but honestly, you'd think it would be smart enough to do the change on it's own.

Well, the anomalies aren't constant, but are random in their appearance and severity. And "The Expanse" mentioned trellium-d, "Anomaly" mentioned that trellium-d helps to protect ships from the anomalies.

In "Rajiin" they go to an alien bazaar to find out from a chemist how to synthesize it and Trip and T'Pol spend the rest of the episode working on making trellium-d.

Now, now: be nice. I think the Ballsonchin race should be better respected.

I changed the Season Pass to Star Trek: Enterprise last week. Once again, it disappeared some time yesterday. I deleted that pass out and re-added Star Trek: Enterprise. It still only catches the episode from last night and not next weeks. Guess a Manual Pass needs to be in order until things settle.


"Captain, the Xindi are approaching the airlock"
"Repel boarders"
"How many MACO should be sent?"
"Ummmmmmmmm........three??"
"While you're at it, make sure the transporter pad is left unguarded"


What's with the Trek universe when it comes to boarding the ship? Nemesis wasn't much better when the Remans boarded.

All-in-all, better than last week though. Simply for the fact that the "arc" seems to be forming: Enterprise is preparing to coat the hull, the Xindi search continues, Trip is still getting rub-downs, Phlox mentions the Captain's transformation from last week, the Xindi are trying to pull a Saddam by making a bio weapon (does Bush know?). Although not even remotely approaching a B5 arc level, I can't remember the last time so many Trek storylines are mentioned and carried over from week to week.

The overall writing still needs a lot of work, however.

My PVR didn't tape this week (though it caught it last week so I'm confused). Changed the subscription though I'll have to catch it on Saturday. Glad to hear this was at least better than last week's though that's not saying a whole hell of a lot is it?

Just wanted to say that, once again, I didn't watch. For those of you who were wondering. I do like reading these threads though. They're funny.

So was this episode any good? I had way too much to watch last night.

Trek good? No
Enterprise good? Hmm.....sorta

Does the Enterprise have the WORST security in the entire universe or what?

For the second time, hostile aliens have managed to board their vessel and pretty much do whatever they wanted, with once again only one dead or captured intruder.

I saw a few soldiers from that special force but they were clearly no help.

Plus, how much of a direct ripoff of Star Wars was that, where they blasted open the bulkhead door while inadequate defenders waited with weapons pointed at the explosion site.?!?
