"Broken Bow" : Line-By-Line!

[LeadHead]

T'Pol: Class 7. The Suliban Vessel dropped out of warp a few hours ago and altered course. Their new heading took them through its outer radiation belt.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Archer: (catching her drift) "We've lost them..."

 

[LeadHead]

T'Pol: Yes.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Archer: (to his Helmsman) "Move us in closer."

shaking his head

"Anything?"

 

[LeadHead]

Reed: The radiations dissipated their warp trail. I'm only picking up fragments.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Archer: (to T'Pol) "You finished helping us?"

 

[LeadHead]

T'Pol: Lieutenant, run a spectral analysis of the fragments.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Reed: "There's too much distortion. The decay rates don't even match."

 

[LeadHead]

T'Pol: (Light bulb goes off over her head) Calculate the trajectory of each fragment.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Reed: (deferring to Archer in seniority) "Sir?"

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: You heard her. Recalibrate the sensor array. Narrow Band, short to mid range.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

T'Pol: "Measure the particle density of the thermosphere."



And you thought no one else was checking in.

This thread helps one to appreciate all the little details.

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: Your instincts were right. Those fragments weren't from 1 Suliban ship...

 

[ChristopherPike]

And you thought no one else was checking in.

Yikes! I wish I'd been on my best behaviour now...

This thread helps one to appreciate all the little details.

I do like filling in the blanks between the lines, that's true! Seeing if I can remember all the unspoken stuff the actors like to put in. Phlox enjoying his work at bit too much, with that Suliban corpse. Archer getting increasingly wound up by practically anything T'Pol says.



T'Pol: (finishing Archer's sentence) "...they were from 14, and all within the last six hours. I believe we have found what we're looking for."

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: (to Reed) How are your targeting scanners?

 

[ChristopherPike]

Reed: "Aligned and ready, sir."

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: Bring the weapons online, and Polarize the Hull Plating. (Sits in Captain's Chair) Lay in a 60 degree Vector. We're going in.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Fade in to the Temporal Chamber aboard the Suliban Helix. We see an undefined humanoid shape from behind. Silik is standing on an identical platform opposite.

Future Guy: (reverb) "Did Sarin give them anything?"

 

[LeadHead]

Silik: I don't know.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Future Guy: "What do you know?"
