Maybe Triannons have greater-than-Vulcan strength?

plus they had that explosive until pretty much the very end

Finally saw this episode and I just wasn't impressed. I guess the writers found a way of ripping off TOS's "Battlefield" without being that blatent about it (until the end of course).

I just have to ask: what was the point of adding the baddass soldiers if in every other episode the ship gets taken over?

Though I've asked this question more than once I'm going ot put it out there again: will someone please explain to me why I'm still watching this show?

I'm with you on both counts.

Seriously, your on a mission to save your entire freakin' planet and your stopping to make nice with people in trouble?

"Captain, should we stop and assist these beings who we know absolutely nothing about?"

"Sure, it's not like we're trying to save our entire race from becoming extin... oh wait, we are!"

Just saw it and I enjoyed it.

It wasn't great, but it was great filler. That's all I need for now.

Actually, I expected there to be some Muslim outcry since the bad guys like to blow themselves up. Maybe I read too much of a parallel there.

Muslims aren't the only suicide bombers.

And Hatians aren't the only ones killed in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. But they both seems to be very vocal when there is even the closest hint that they are being put in derogatory light. And they are definately the most wide spread and prolific.

I probably watch too much news, but the end scene at the end certainly seemed to have Israeli/Palestinian overtones with a religious fight that destroyed a civilization based on the fact that they just couldn't allow others to have their own beliefs.
