Anybody watch Enterprise last night?
I thought it was pretty good. I am glad they decided to do this mirror universe story. This has been the best season of Enterprse.

1. I couldn't the National's baseball game was on.
I'll have to wait till tonight.

"This has been the best season of Enterprse."

A lot of reviewers will say that after the final episode has aired.

2. Just watched it
Wow!

And when I say "Wow!" I mean to describe my reaction when I saw the Mirror Universe T'Pol in that Earth Empire Uniform. ;)

Just goes to show even an evil universe isn't all bad.

3. Now, that's a classic Trek episode.
Of course it raises an intriguing time travel, mirror universe issue. :)

4. Just watched it on the Tivo here (spoilers)
And I must say, there were a LOT of things I rather liked about it, and the number of homages to the original series.

- Oddly enough, I *prefer* this show's theme song over the original, even though I know it's hammering us over the head with battle scenes and other violent stuff. Marvelously martial music, too. I almost blipped past the whole thing before I realized, 'Wait a second, that's not the usual start...'

- Commander Tucker's facial scarring due to delta radiation (guess the old mirror universe doesn't much believe in engine shielding), extremely reminiscent of Captain Pike

- Ah the old Agony Booth, invented by MAKO Major Malcolm Reed. *lol* And a Doctor Phlox strangely obsessed with dissecting things.

- And an explanation for a ship mysteriously missing... "Look at the coils on that thing. I'll bet it could do warp seven."

5. I love this episode
:) Many good points, the opening, the bringing back of the Tholian's (nice CG there) and there nice little web, Hoshi slipping a knife out while kissing archer, The Doctors completly unethical pratices (Would you KINDLY DIE!). NICE uniforms too (both the men and women). And the alternate Porthos, that was a good touch :). Also what the Tholian said when being tortured "something about your maternal ancestor".

however, the Suliban cloaking device is a little odd (Id imagine if it was present in the 2150's, then the mirror enterprise would have had something like it too :shrug:).



btw: Anyone notice the resemblence to the Empire salute and Nazi salute?


Overall quite enjoyable
:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

6. Great story! They even had a nod to the Farpoint episode of STNG
with the containment grid.
