That's what I was thinking...but it's not a star trek thing...just about any space movie has all ships on screen on the same plane...or axis or whatever(I'm sure a trekkie will chime in with the correct terminology).

That was so great in Wrath of Khan - Kirk and Spock beat Khan with 3 dimensional thinking.

I really enjoyed the Klingon headridge arc despite my initial misgivings about doing such a story. However, 2 things that I noticed:

1) Trip had an Enterprise patch on his uniform and spacesuit instead of the Columbia insignia.
2) How was the virus beamed onto the Klingon ship through their shields?

I'm pretty sure they had Trip recalibrate the phase inverters on the Starfleet standard issue Plot Device.

That's true- I can only think of a couple that didn't, notably Babylon 5, and Space: Above and Beyond (although I might be mistaken about that one; I haven't seen it in years).

I think trek has shown ships meeting each other and orienting themselves to be "level"
and DS9 had ships fly in all directions in the combat scenes during the dominion war

my main nit with this episode is: how does restarting the engines have any effect on the program running in the computer

Not a bad episode, but overall its still a weak series. Scott Bakula doesn't play the tough guy really well.....hopefully Al will show up and he'll leap to a better show.

1) The uniform is easy to explain since he came to Enterprise in the EV suit and had to just get an Enterprise uniform since he didn't bring his Columbia uniform. The EV suits could be specially sized and made for each person (since it does have their names on it) and he might not have had time to get the patch changed.

2) The only thing I can think is that they knew the Klingon shield frequency. They could be stupid enough to all use the same one and the transporters are automatically set to beam through them.

Do the Klingons have shield technology yet? Enterprise doesn't, so it isn't a stretch to believe that the Klingons don't.

Jake Byrd from Chino, Calif., right, wearing a Michael Jackson (news) t-shirt, jokes with a fan dressed as the film Star Wars' character Darth Vader, as they join about a hundred Star Trek fans upset by the cancellation of the shows latest series, Star Trek: Enterprise, at a rally Friday, Feb. 25, 2005, outside the Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Paramount announced the cancellation jointly with UPN, which has seen ratings fall since its first episode in 2001. The show averaged 2.9 million viewers this season, compared with 5.9 million an episode in 2001. UPN plans to air the last program on May 13. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
Oh, how far we've come ...

Wow, a hundred people showed up to protest? The suits must really be shaking in their boots over that show of support.

Wow, that opening sequence looked pretty sweet in HD.

Too bad we might not find out who returns the Klingons to their rightful appearance a century or so later. I agree with a previous post, the initial human/Klingon meetings aren't going according to Trek lore. Hardly unexpected though.

Maybe they just develop a natural immunity to it.

When newspapers have to "count" 100,000 people showing up for a rally, I can understand when one news report is different from another. If they can't tell the difference between 100 and 800? Well, that's just sad.

Obviously sometime between TOS and TNG, Klingon science figured out how to "bring out the Klingon" in the smooth heads. This would explain the Kor, Koloth & Kang mystery.

It's an even much smaller window than that: it's between the end of Kirk's (first?) five year mission and V'Ger.

And at least one of them was confused/lost. Darth Vader?
