From: "Sarain" <sarainns@y...>I have two questions concerning the latest enterprise adventure -
perhaps I havent been paying as close attention as i should have...
1) how do you cold-start a warp engine and be automatically at warp
5.2 ? (seems like the engines must have been given quite an overhaul
when compared to previous seasons problems getting to and maintaining
warp 5)
2) what is the former tactical room (behind the bridge and used during
the xindi crisis) being used for - or is it back to carrying
self-sealing stem bolts?

How much do most Americans know about things that happened in China 200
years ago? Even those that frequently work with Chinese people probably
don't know that much. There could be similar ignorance between the
major races on ST.

But what about the fact that those three Klingons later reappeared on DS9, now sporting ridges? Did they get cosmetic surgery so that they could fit in with the contemporary warrior elite?

From: "Mutts">5) Trip's ship-to-ship climb using the tether was pretty cool!
That was pretting effing cool!
Glad he took a moment to enjoy it.
Reminds me of the astronauts on EVA with everything planned
down to the second they have to steal a moment to look around.
