Sorry about that Todd.

I didn't think of that as being a spoiler when I posted it; more like an appetite-whetting coming attraction to talk about, but you're right, it is a spoiler.

I'll be more mindful of that in the future.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Excellent television. Anotehr great episode. Why is it getting so good now!?!?!?!?! Dammit, why didn't these people who are writing it now have charge at the beginning. These episodes rock.

This is why I watched Star Trek to begin with. Great writing, believable story, didn't end in 3 seconds right at the end. That entire arc was wonderful.

Looking forward to next week, and I hope Paramount is seeing a sudden spike and rethinking their cancellation.

On to Stargate Atlantis. Wonder if will be good tonight?

No problem.

I'm REALLY anal about stuff like that. I doubt many people go to the extent I do to stay in the dark until show time.

I finished Captain's Blood last night.

Shatner kicked up the danger a few notches with this installment, and in this trillogy has introduced an enemy so powerful and incomprehensible that I really have no clue how our heros are going to extracate themselves from this one.

Bring on Captain's Glory!

There may be hope:

The ratings would definitely go up if it were on Sci-Fi.

Tonight's show was good, but I have some reservations about it.

My wife actually joined me for this week's installment of Enterprise - that was really cool! She has watched all the other Star Trek shows with me in the past, but never really warmed up to Enterprise so I was glad she joined me in watching the show tonight. She really got in to it too, and even got angry when those three annoying words flashed at the end - "to be continued". She was so in to the show, that she thought only about 20 minutes or so had passed and was really caught off guard when it was over. Well, looks like she'll be joining me again next week because she was really in to the show and now she wants to see what happens next!

SPOILER ALERT - DO NOT READ FURTHER UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS WEEK'S EPISODE AND HAVE CONSULTED DR. PHLOX ABOUT THE MEDICAL RISK IN READING FURTHER OTHERWISE

Ok, the whole why Klingons looked the way they did in ST:TOS without the forehead ridges bit. This could have been really cool if I hadn’t already known EXACTLY what to expect in this show as soon as the beginning sequence played. Yes, I was spoiled weeks ago when I accidentally read a blurb on a website about the fact that they were going to "explain the differences in the Klingon foreheads" in an upcoming episode. DAMN SPOILERS! Had I NOT known of this already, I would have more than likely gotten chills watching the show play out. But since I was already spoiled and completely expecting this story-line from the pre-theme sequence, the show did nothing for me. No chills. No amazement. NO SH*T!

Though I'm very tempted to continue how spoilers kill the entertainment value of shows to me, I'll get on to my "reservations" about this show. But DAMN! I feel so cheated. To me, it's like knowing the twist to the film The Sixth Sense BEFORE seeing it. I know - most people just love to know as much as they can about upcoming shows, but I prefer to experience it as it unfolds.

Ok, tonight's show as a whole was a good and exciting episode. Granted I would have enjoyed it on levels I'll never know because I was SPOILED, it was still a cool direction to explore. I mean, this is exactly the kind of thing they should explore in a Star Trek show that pre-dates Captain Kirk and crew by a century. In reality, the foreheads of the Klingons evolved because of the creative process and better budgets for the Star Trek films than the original TV series has. But then there was this unexplained difference in a key Star Trek species. The short answer is technology and makeup effects were better and the "foreheaded" Klingons looked more like the species they were meant to be (if that makes any sense). But to tackle this concept IN the show and acknowledge a reason for this is an interesting thing to do. They poked fun at it in the episode of DS9 when several characters found themselves in the past episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" - I thought their way of dealing with it at the time was great! It was both funny and made that episode of two ST generations coming together great fun!

My reservations on tonight's show was more on the whole Klingon behavior thing. I think this is where I really show my Star Trek geekiness, but the Klingons acted a little non-Klingon at times tonight. I'm not talking about the forehead thing - I mean their behavior seemed a little off in terms of dealing with death and the way "saving lives" was talked about. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seemed that story elements were slightly in conflict with established Klingon behavior - at least in the way they phrased and deal with it. "Uncle Phil"-Klingon seemed to show mercy for his fellow Klingon and not show the spirited and expected Klingons look forward to a glorious death thing. Sure, he didn't hesit

Excellent, DaveTRON!

I like the INVISOTEXT a lot!

But, is it compatible with your mighty POST-O-MATIC?

Perhaps Auric can be persuaded to make an easy forum tag for that in the future? It might get a lot of use, especially in discussions about the upcoming TRON film, and of course, TV show discussions like this.

MutoidMan Wrote:...Has somebody commented that the Columbia looking identical to the Enterprise is bad in some way? ...

No. I made that comment proactively. I dig the idea of Enterprise having a very similar looking "sister ship". I think that's cool in terms of what kind of stories can be told with that premise, and also in terms of being able to see how two almost identical ships may have very different paths ahead of them (so to speak). And it does make sense that multiple ships might have very similar, if not the same design in that era of starship engineering.

I made the "cost effective production budget" comment because that is a very large part of how things like that come about in terms of what the producers want to do vs. how much it costs to do it. I expected that comment to be made (budgetary decision) if I commented about how cool the sister ship concept and so I brought it up first.

I don't care if it was a budgetary decision is what I was trying to say. I just dig the concept, period I'm looking forward to the upcoming show(s) that feature both ships. The outcome is predictable, but it should be a fun show. Oh - and I hope I’m wrong about the outcome, I LOVE being caught off guard in terms of plot!

In case you are wondering about what kind of predictable outcome I am talking about, think back to ST:TNG, season 2. The USS Yamamto - the NCC1701D's sister ship. Though I'm sure the Columbia will see a bit more action than the Yamato ever saw, I think it's safe to say the predictable outcome will be the same.

Of course, should someone find information that either confirms or disproves my speculation, PLEASE hide any comments using the invisi-tags or at least post a SPOILER WARNING before posting anything about it
