The Long Road: Ep 1 - Broken Bow
Added 2020-10-07 12:00:03 +0000 UTCIt's time to dive into the very first episode of Star Trek Enterprise and, perhaps, one of Star Trek best ever pilots. But does it hold up to repeat viewing. And will the Temporal Cold War ever get resolved. Let's start our journey onto The Long Road.

Haha, scaroused is one of my favorite words.

2021-03-02 01:21:22 +0000 UTCThe Klang blood scene seems to me a callback to Blade Runner, when Deckard takes a scale to a back-alley gene splicer who looks at it under a microscope and sees there are tiny manufacturers' model numbers there. For decades this never made sense to me, In this show, they did a spinning data animation. How this could be technically done, I'm not sure, maybe the whole "polarizing the hull" is a clue that it is nanotech, because this is how cells form cell walls, polarizing lipid molecules so they lock and form a bubble with no chemical reaction possible from outside. Presumably, nanotech could alter metal hulls or even form tiny letters? Crap science, but I hear Discovery is trying to up their science going forward.

2020-11-05 21:12:09 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this. I've never watched anything with a commentary track before in my life, so it was a little hard to get used to. I kept wanting wanting to respond or argue back, lol. Enterprise is the series that got me into Star Trek and I'm looking forward to rewatching it along with you.

2020-10-15 02:01:30 +0000 UTCThanks Jessie, That was fun ^^ First, the blood thing: my interpretations was always that it was info about the temporal cold war given by Sarin ( the female suliban at the end of the first part). Sulibans being able to basically rewrite DNA, she encoded it in one of Kang’s DNA strand. Personally, despite the fact that I was one of those that wasn’t too crazy about the idea of a prequel series, one of the thing I always appreciated Enterprise for is how it kindda opened possibilities. They couldn’t rely on technology as much and didn't have alies all over the galaxy. For a ship like THE Enterprise, or Voyager, to really be in trouble, the crew needed to but head with an omnipotent demigod or something. But for Enterprise, in episode 3 I think, they are in serious jeopardy, because it’s windy outside.
