This week was so much better than last week. I loved the interaction between Malcolm and Archer. The crew is really pulling together now that they have been on their mission for a year. Well done!
I have to admit, I was on the edge of my seat last night. You knew that everything was going to work out, but HOW? One thing-Malcolm needs to loosen up a little!
I thought last night was really good, too. Malcolm does need to loosen up, he has very strict ideas about the chain of command. I loved how uneasy he was with small talk at breakfast. Remember the episode last season when they tried to find out his favorite food, and nobody knew it, not even his family. I liked how he revealed something of himself to the captain when they were working on the mine. Another character to develop.
I have only one criticism of the show, and that is how effortlessly Hoshi is able to translate and send messages in languages she has never heard before. I have studied Spanish for years, and I still make mistakes. I think that aspect of the show is a little unrealistic. Linguists study language structure, they aren't necessarily fluent in each langauge they study, which is what the show implies.
I think the deal on Hoshi is that she is supposed to be possessed of some extra special gift for deciphering languages.
The leg of that mine going through Malcolm's leg was intense. When I read the trailer about him being "pinned" down on the hull, I hardly thought they meant literally!
I thought that this week's episode was a really good follow up to the Mine Field episode. I was really upset when I thought that Merriweather was dead! Do you think this was the beginning of the Borg? I think it was because of the hook up and how it began to fix itself at the end there.
Ady, I definitely think it was the beginning of the Borg. I was upset about Merriweather, too, but I knew he was an important part of the crew, so I thought they would find a way to get him back. I really liked this episode. It seems like this show keeps improving.
Good episode. I was upset, three, at the thought Merriweather was dead. And I LOVED the end-perhaps this would have been a more appropriate Halloween episode.
But if it was the beginning of the Borg, what does that mean for the ship and Malcolm? After all, both were repaired with the repair station's technology. Hmmm, maybe a plot point that will come up later?
I really liked this episode....it introduced replicators AND perhaps the Borg. I like the way the characters continue to develop and think they are doing good things with the plot.
I'm looking forward to a naughty and steamy episode next week!
Another good episode. Although it wasn't the steamy episode the commericials led us to believe, I found it to be very moving, showing what a human would do for their companion animal.
I don't know about anyone else, but I was in tears, thinking that Porthos may be hurt by the alien microbe he picked up. And although what Archer and Floxx did was extreme, I would not hesitate if Ivo was in the same postition.
There was some steaminess, though. T'Pol's speech to Archer at the end indicated to me that she is just as attracted to him as he is to her. I can't wait to see how this turns out-wasn't Spock half-human?
Did anyone watch last week's show. It was really nice to see how much T'Pol trusts Archer and it was great watching her with indecision! I thought that Truck was hilarious putting off decisions, but using the Captain's mess.
I had to dig deep to round up this thread, because I finally saw the repeat of the episode with the automated space station and the beginnings of the Borg. What a great episode and a super follow up to the Mine Field episode!
I really liked this episode as well. The characters continue to become more rich and I am enjoying how they are linking these episodes with events in the future. What a great way to bring in the proto-borgs!
Nemesis was a disappointment. Had it not been a Trek film, I probably would have hated it altogether. It's sad that the TNG characters got such a weak script to work with.
And....
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF KILLING DATA?????
It was all too much like Spock and his self-sacrifice at the end of Wrath of Khan.
Ahah!!! So I'm NOT the only Trekkie on this board!!
How do you all like my sig picture?
OK well my introduciton on the other form didn't say much about me. I'll get more specific:
I have been into Star Trek for almost 3 years now. I've been to 3 conventions, own 13 autographs, and go to many Star Trek buliten boards. At WilliamShatner.com, I'm practically a celebrity to the fellow posters.
I'm into TOS, TNG, and it just so happens Enterprise as well. Mostly just TOS though. I'm obviously a big fan of William Shatner.
I loved Nemisis enough to see it three times. I am really starting to hate those who still havn't convinced me that it's somehow bad.
I'm rather surpised at the length of this thread, seeing that only 1 person responded to my introduction mentioning Trek.
The boards are so big these days that many of us don't get to all the forums all the time. I used to be the mod over New Cats, but I haven't been there much lately.
Sometimes after work it's a lot to check in everywhere.
Anyway, there are a few of us Trek fans hanging around. I watched TOS as a kid with my dad, and all in all, TNG is my overall favorite series. I have a 14 year old son who has been watching since he was a little kid, thanks to me. I used to go to conventions, but I haven't been to one in years. I am a science fiction fan in general, but more so into things like Trek that have an optimistic view of our future.
I'll probably see Nemesis a few more times, even though it was far from the best Trek movie. I used to record TNG on its first run. My episodes take up about 40 tapes. Now it's time to invest in the DVDs. :laughing:
What I meant is the "introduction" post on this forum. My name is a total give-away!
But it's nice to know that I'm not completely differant from the rest of ya
But so far not a single person here has mentioned my Spot gif! Don't you like Spot from TNG?
