how quickly they forget...

Tonight's episode of Enterprise had some good character bits. I'd rate it pretty high, except for one little plot problem.


Have they already forgotten that they have a transporter on that ship? I would have accepted nearly any excuse for why it wouldn't function, but ignoring it is unreasonable.

Sheesh.

Well, who says that they have to transport the human? Why not just transport the mine someplace else? (onto the hull of a romulan ship, for example?) Or just "maximum dispersion" if they want to be nice? For that matter, if they transported the mine in the first place (or after the ordinance guy said it thought it wasn't on a ship) then there wouldn't be any leg-piercing to worry about.

As far as last week's episode, it was OK, but IMHO, Strangers From The Sky did it much, much better. (Also dealt with first contact better -- which is why, in my mind, the movie First Contact is not cannonical.)
