Summary[]
Enterprise is visited by a group of pilgrims. They are going to watch a neutron burst from a protostar, which is a spiritual experience to them. Among them is the surgically altered Suliban Silik[N 2] on a mission to prevent a cascade reaction in the warp reactor that would have otherwise destroyed the ship. To Archer's surprise, Enterprise Crewman Daniels turns out to be a time traveler from the 31st century, and he demands that Silik be stopped. Archer reluctantly agrees. Silik, however, apparently kills Daniels and manages to escape, leaving Archer with the question what he was really going to accomplish.
Errors and Explanations[]
Nit Central[]
- muas on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 6:19 pm: When Archer is taking the space tourists on a tour of the ship, and Phlox was showing them sickbay's imaging screen (where you go in the chamber, and it takes an image of your body...) he says "you'll be glad to know you're in perfect health." But how does he know, if he's never seen these aliens before? There is obviously nothing on the screen to indicate anything wrong.
- SMT on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 7:23 pm: It was just a trifle presumptuous for Archer to ask for Captain Fraddock's(sp?) name by saying "Mister …?". You never know with this new life you're seeking out. Captain Fraddock obviously looks and sounds male.
- Maybe I forgot something from Broken Bow, but how would Archer know that Suliban get genetic enhancements as rewards? The teaser in this episode was our clue. Did Archer learn it from the Shadowy Guy, and I forgot it (at least in this timeline)? LUIGI NOVI on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 10:00 pm: Phlox examined the dead Suliban in sickbay in Broken Bow, and told Archer they received genetic enhancements.
- PaulG on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 7:27 pm: Daniels sure brought a lot of technology from the future. You would think they would take precautions to avoid them falling into the wrong hands. For instance, if Daniels doesn't give a code in 24 hours, they self-destruct ala Mission Impossible. I wonder… That could cause all kinds of additional problems – alarms going off, small fires, etc.
- Sparrow47 on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 9:38 pm: The movie they watched seems to indicate that science fiction, in some form, will survive after deep space exploration and contact with aliens. Yee-haw! LUIGI NOVI on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 10:00 pm: From the title, Night of the Killer Androids, it seemed to me that it was an old movie, possibly from mid 20th century, than a new one.
- Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 2:01 am: What was it that Phlox said he celebrated at the Vulcan Embassy? I thought he might have said Tal-Shiar which would be odd since I believe that is the name of the Romulan secret police. Elizabeth on Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 8:18 am: I was also suprised about Phlox's statement that he celebrated a holiday at the Vulcan Embassy. He apparently either celebrated Tal Shiar, the Romulan Secret Service, (as Keith Morgan said) or he participated in Tal Shaya, the ritual Vulcan homicide by neck snap (see the TOS episode Babel). In either case he should be arrested. Sparrow47 on Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 8:49 am: Regarding just what Phlox did with the Vulcans, remember that at this time, we don't know anything about the Romulans! So "Tal Shiar" could mean something completely different to the Vulcans. LUIGI NOVI on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 10:00 pm: He said he attended the Tal-Shanar at the Vulcan Consulate.
