If anyone watches the new MacGyver, Bozer's robot got hung up trying to figure out a riddle the other day. So it could work...

It worked on the original Trek with that NOMAD computer. That's what made me think of it.

This was a great 2 episodes. I was hoping for a bit more originality though. I mean as the episode went on it became obvious Isaac was going to turn Darth Vader style. Also the whole "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" component with the Krill was a little over the top (It also would have been the perfect opportunity for the Krill to take out the Union when it was over).. but overall it was enjoyable to watch. Love Yaphit in this episode although it all reminded me way too much of exactly the way Odo would get them out of situations in DSN.

Having said all of that I'm totally digging this series.

In last season's "Into the Fold" episode where Isaac and the boys were being attacked by baddies and Isaac was using a phaser pistol to fend them off - I guess he forgot he had the cool head guns.. or maybe it was an OTA firmware upgrade.

Last 2 episodes were great...I think they blew their TV budget on that last episode alone

Hugh saved them from the Borg, just as we thought.

The Battle at Wolf 359 was awesome. They must have blown their budget just on this one episode.

So humankind's sworn enemy the Krill show up with a giant fleet at Earth's doorstep. They know Earth's defenses are down; most of their local fleet is destroyed, and the rest is out in space. Seems like a great time to not attack Earth and not take their resources and not enslave their population.

That was a legit Part 2. Kick ass!

Too bad Carlos Bernard didn’t have a larger role. 24 crew reunite!

Kaylon weaponry was far superior to Union weaponry and the Kaylons were kicking Earth's ass. The Krill show up and kick the Kaylon's ass. We can assume the Krill are so far ahead of the Union militarily that war with them would be like U.S (Krill) vs Iraq (Earth).

It's overdue for a Bortus episode.

Perhaps shenanigans will occur when Bortus needs to take a one in every 20 years dump.

Well at least now we know why they’ve been doing such low key episodes at the beginning of the season and there was a payoff.

I thought this two parter was really awesome. Like the last 4 seasons of DS9 in two episodes. Yeah there were some story issues and they could definitely use an Okuda to help with some consistency with their technobabble but it was a highly entertaining impressive and fun couple of episodes. I’m now positively sure fox will cancel them now.

Good episode. Glad this one didn't coincide with the annual pee ceremony. It would have ruined the whole floor.

Hopefully next week we can get away from all that action, drama and humor and find out what Bortus does when he has to take a crap. I find McDonald's Yaphit character far more fun. Glad he had something to do here. Hopefully we'll see more of him.

Damn Palicki is hot. When I was younger I loved the short broads. I ended up marrying a tall girl. Love them tall broads since.

I was actually just thinking how far Palicki has dropped in attractiveness since her FNL days. Another beautiful woman who had work done and ruined her face.
