how quickly they forget...

[cellio]

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.

Enterprise fun

I thought of that too. But I figured it could be attributed to this: they have established that they are very skittish about using it on living beings, and Two, the guy's leg was pierced which would have further reinforced the skittish part. I mean, heck - they're frightened enough to use it on a healthy person, but someone who's seriously injured? They might come back as a pile of goo or something... Why wasn't it even mentioned as a possibility in the episode? I guess it could be rationalized by saying it really didn't enter their minds as a possibility due to the stuff I wrote above...

I suppose I can see your point. I'll tell you one problem I saw with last week's episode (which I thoroughly enjoyed),

(I've written it in white text just in case you haven't seen the episode yet and I don't want to spoil it - if you want to read it, just select the area below w/ your mouse)


What the heck did that Vulcan who stayed on Earth do when it came time for Pon Far? What about when he died or if he got injured? Wouldn't they notice the pointy ears and green blood?
