2x05:
- Evil Samsung tricoders can be configured to emit an (EM?) pulse that can disable large busses and large bus drivers. Presumably this means that the tricorders of 2400 prime Starfleet can do the same? And didn't Raffi have an evil, glass-destroying phaser she could've used on the driver, or does it not have a stun setting on account of being evil?
- I forgot to point out last week that the evil La Sirena's cloak uses the same sound effect as the TOS movies' Klingon Bird of Prey, and not the TNG SFX. We hear it again this week.
- The power cell of the evil combadge is visible from the front when removed / reapplied. Is there any reason for this other than as a visual indication? We've had internal batteries on darn near everything since they were invented. Maybe it's directly linked to the antenna array, which are those horizontal lines on the front?
- Okay, so not-Laris is of the same group of empowered humans (?) as Gary Seven, and uses the same sort of tech. How does this explain a bank vault in her apartment, though? You could sorta get away with it in Gary's office, but here? Or is this one of those loft apartments that used to be a bank..?
- Great to hear that Renee's French accent is from the same region of France as Jean-Luc. The policeman obviously came from elsewhere. And speaking as a francophone, the Queen's French was atrocious, which is attributable to the actor, but the Borg themselves not able to replicate proper French? I guess it's kinda par for Trek anyway - thanks
Marc Alaimo.
- Those shield drones don't really look just two years more advanced than what we have here (and is clearly a visual hint to the evil 2400 planetary shields). I know we're trying to subtly indicate that this is the Trek timeline here, which means there SHOULD'VE been a series of horrible wars around thirty years prior, but should there be more advanced stuff out there? One guy in the hallway that Soong was trying to convince (who holds board meetings in a hallway?) was using a Microsoft Surface.
