It would explain the anti-transporter shield nearly 150 years later.Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132196355430345167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-43740432576709204122008-10-11T21:14:00.000-03:002008-10-11T21:14:00.000-03:00While I agree with you about the lack of galactic ...While I agree with you about the lack of galactic consequences, Snell, the escape did have a follow-up. In fact, the two last episodes of the season have the Klingons running after Archer.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-11001222143488145902008-10-11T20:33:00.000-03:002008-10-11T20:33:00.000-03:00I may have mentioned this before, but this episode...I may have mentioned this before, but this episode is featured right alongside fellow ST:VI-influenced episode "Flashback" in a certain ST DVD collection, which really emphasises even further how much of a lift from ST:VI this is. And yes, that "escape" is the most amazing last-second cop-out.Jayunderscorezerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611897906121531154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-67557389409805881602008-10-11T11:23:00.000-03:002008-10-11T11:23:00.000-03:00I think the episode puts way too much pressure on ...I think the episode puts way too much pressure on the prequel conceit.<BR/><BR/>We suspend our disbelief readily enough for almost anything else <B>Enterprise</B> wants to show us--sure, the Fernegi never actually <I>said</I> they were Ferengi, that's good enough for me!<BR/><BR/>But surely this <I><B>HAD</B></I> to be an interstellar incident of the highest order! The captain of Earth's first starship is captured and condemned to a Klingon prison colony...that's like Christopher Columbus getting life in Guantanamo, and yet we've never heard a glimmer of it??<BR/><BR/>Plus, where's the follow up? The Klingon never notice prominent, politically sensitive prisoners are missing?!? They didn't notice when Earth government stopped haranguing for their release? Future Earth/Klingon relations aren't tainted by "where the hell is Archer?" arguments???<BR/><BR/>There are times when Enterprise wasn't any better than Voyager at actually following up on their ideas, on having any real kind of continuity. This episode was one of them.snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.com
