I think that was how it was spelled hehe

I thought it was a pretty good episode overall. The end was original...end the show on a bad note? Have the Captain bitch out one of the main characters in the last 3 minutes? Somewhat original.

Although the preview for the next episode (the borg one) made me sick...hehe

Maybe i am alone in this, but it seemed too much to me like TNG's "The Outcast". I thought the end was fairly weak. I did enjoy seing Andreas Katsulas (sp?), though his role was pretty limited for an actor with his talents. I say a 3/10.

Hyperdrive is far in advance of Earth technology

Yeah, it was above the curve for ENT episodes so far. Nice to see conflict (which makes for a better story, B+B pay attention....) and holy cow, the rewind button wasn't pressed!

But then, it all crashed when they previewed the Borg.......

Oh well, thems the breaks I guess

Was that 80 gigajoule output realistic for the phase cannon?

I thought not, personally.

When the things were first developed, they each had an output of 500 GJ...Reed's stupid use of joules instead of watts makes that somewhat meaningless, since we have no clue how long it'd take for the thing to fire said amount of energy.

In the same episode, they boosted their firepower by a factor of ten; assuming the "yield" is discharged over a period of five seconds, the ship would've had a firepower of 2 terawatts maximum.

The 200 GW-2 TW range is roughly in line with the energy required to shatter asteroids in "Singularity," but now...I don't know what to think. I guess phase cannons ALSO utilize NDF, or Reed might've been talking about a small point-defense weapon.

Stupid-asses can't even maintain internal consistency.

Also, the girl asks if the torpedoes have photonic warheads. Does this referes to photon torpedoes? But PT have antimatter warheads. Photonic warheads means a light warhead. WTF?

Best answer I can think of off the cuff, is their Voyager is showing

Some of the later year aliens-of-the-week on Voyager used "photonic charges" which is likely where the "writers" remembered it from....

Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.

The whole three sexes thing was lifted directly from the Hydrans of SFC. <shakes head>

Yep. And Reed said, "HUH?! What's that?!"

Is he retarded? He used photon torpedoes once, when he boarded that Raptor Klingon scout in a gas giant's atmosphere. They saved his, Hoshi, and T'Pol's life, and he even used the word, "photon torpedo." It perplexed him then, also.

Maybe like us, the "photonic" thing threw him...but somehow, I doubt it. He's a guy who gets a woody talking about weapons. Surely he wouldn't forget that incident! ("Sleeping Dogs"? I haven't bothered to recall more than a few ENT ep. titles.)

You watch, Snake: these Xindi will be Hydrans, Lyrans, or a combination of both *shrugs*
