If more people would LISTEN to those captain's log entries at the begining of the show! The captain starts out by saying: Using the sling-shot principle the Enterprise has traveled back in time to observe history .... and is currently in EXTENDED orbit using DEFLECTORS to avoid detection. Remember all that junk from Scotty about there "still being time to desend low enough to blast the missle". Knowing what we do about the range of the Enterprises phasers do you think she was only a few thousand miles up! As to detection: If we, using 20th century technology, can develop the stealth bomber don't you think the Enterprise could avoid detection by some "primitive radar". I thought this show was interesting in that it is one of the few that uses the discoveries made in previous shows. I mean how about the one where Spock's brain is stolen and used as a environmental control computer. In another show we see the previous captain of the Enterprise paralized. His brain in working order, but unable to speak or move. If the technology existed to interface to Spock's disembodied brain, why not the other man's. I am sure all of us can think of discoveries on one show that could have solved the problems in the next. Jerry Aguirre {hplabs|fortune|idi|ihnp4|ios|tolerant|allegra|tymix}!oliveb!jerry
