Heart Rate Monitors! [SPOILERS]

[Brent]

FINALLY they know vital signs of people on the away teams and know instantly when they are killed! Being the future and all, this makes sense, and it is about time that technology existed in the future! Makes sense, and I am glad they showed that.

 

[USS Gettysburg]

Now we just need an Apollo 13 moment a la Tom Hanks ripping off the sensors.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

FINALLY they know vital signs of people on the away teams and know instantly when they are killed! Being the future and all, this makes sense, and it is about time that technology existed! Makes sense, and I am glad they showed that.

So am I.

I'll stick my neck out and predict that we won't see it again.

 

[Brent]

At least it showed up once then, and we know it exists and that they DO monitor away teams vitals!

Totally agree.

 

[Michael]

Yup, I suspect the same. It worked for that scene, but would totally be undramatic in others.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

Aye for monitoring vital signs, it's totally the logical thing to do.

 

[Kelso]

Yup. That was a great touch.

 

[nx1701g]

I remember that the TNG Tech Manual claimed that the Operations and Mission Operations stations on the Enterprise-D did the same thing.

 

[Kpnuts]

I actually loved ALL the viewscreen/window HUD-type overlays. Shield strength, black hole warnings, collision detections etc.

Very nice (and logical) touch.

 

[Starbreaker]

TERMINATED!

 

[Tim]

TERMINATED!

Appropriate, since Nero was basically in a Terminator-like role.

I agree. It's only logical. The only thing missing was an optical sensor that could have easily been attacked to his uniform. We have this technology now. Who knows how advanced it would be in 300 years.
