[Captain of the USS Averof]

It's also one of nine Star Trek episodes with latin titles. The others are "Sub Rosa", "Dramatis Personae", "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges", "Ex Post Facto", "Non Sequitur", "Alter Ego", "Terra Nova", and "Vox Sola".

Of course, the words “Ego” and “Dramatis” are Latin borrowings from Greek.

Looking forward to the episode. Is the poster official?

 

[Commander Richard]

^ No, I made it.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I'm actually looking forward to this one. Planet-side at last.

 

[BillJ]

Obviously, they should fail at learning the secret of the cloaking device.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Obviously, they should fail at learning the secret of the cloaking device.

It's cinnamon.

 

[SharkD]

Obviously, they should fail at learning the secret of the cloaking device.

Why? I thought the Federation did not use them due to self-imposed doctrine, not because they didn't understand the technology?

 

[Tesophius]

I'm surprised 20% of the forum hasn't voted 10/10 yet

Away team on a new planet. Star Trek. Can't wait.

 

[Tuskin38]

Why? I thought the Federation did not use them due to self-imposed doctrine, not because they didn't understand the technology?

They didn't use them because of a treaty that doesn't exist yet.

Kirk stole a Romulan one in TOS.

[SJA]

I'm surprised 20% of the forum hasn't voted 10/10 yet

Nearly as bad the 46% who have voted 1 out of 10 already on Imdb eh?

 

[Ronald Held]

Nice to see a landing party on a planet.

 

[Spider]

A planet of the week story. Kirk and O'Neill would approve.

 

[GeekUSACarl]

Jesus H Christ this app sucks.

 

[Krandor]

Episode is up on CBSAA.

 

[Krandor]

As I expected "this is not the time to grieve" had nothing to do with the admiral.
