Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced
players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the
turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses,
bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near
the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original
Borg Incursion.
We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS
Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all
interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is
superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we
will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices,
check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away
from home.

Reviews Ex Deus Written for TrekWeb by O. Deus, edited by Steve Krutzler
"Rogue Planet"
Summary: Archer and Co. dress up in Borg gear, pester more aliens who
don't really want them there and Archer goes looking for his ideal
shapeshifter/telepathic woman in the jungle.
Like many Enterprise episodes this season, Rogue Planet researches some
astronomy to dig out an interesting planetary science concept of a rogue
planet detached from its solar system and in permanent darkness where the
native lifeforms survive by clustering around heat vents and uses it as the
backdrop for a fairly unoriginal and pedestrian story involving hunters whom
every experienced Star Trek viewer knows are up to no good five seconds
after we meet them, and a mysterious woman whose secret is just as
transparent. Despite a strong performance by the actor playing the lead
hunter, both the woman and the hunters are reduced to two-dimensional
caricatures with a handful of lines and are denied even any kind of
meaningful confrontation with each other.
Like much of this season, the episode features nothing in the way of
strong guest stars and at the same time little in the way of conflict or
drama for the regular crew. Beyond Archer pursuing his dream woman
in a rather silly plot that seems to have been lifted from TOS, when viewers
might have actually experienced some suspense over the appearance of a
strange woman on an alien planet who can seemingly disappear into thin air.
Bakula's fairly bland performance also does little to help matters. Shatner,
Stewart or Brooks might at least have put passion and scenery-chewing into
the episode but Bakula seems to stumble through it in an uncertain daze.
Indeed the strongest performance in this episode comes from Jolene Blalock
during T'Pol's confrontation with Archer and not coincidentally it is also
the closest Rogue Planet actually comes to genuine conflict and questioning of
a character's values and actions. Something the ep could have used a
lot more of.
In the end Rogue Planet has nothing to say about ecology, psychology,
ethics or really anything at all. And worse yet it doesn't have much in the
way of suspense, character conflict, or even basic drama of the
crudest kind. One of TOS's first episodes, the rather weak Man Trap, which
had the same premise of a telepathic shapeshifting woman-creature,
understood at least that much; but like much of this season RP seems
entirely satisfied to let the characters stumble through a recycled and listless
plot devoid of challenge and conflict and grafted onto a few lines from an
astronomy textbook in hopes of bringing that sense of exploration to the
viewer. The result is a fairly bland and colorless episode that is as
uninvolving to the viewer as it is to the Enterprise character and amounts
to a Trekified version of Bambi once you get past and discard the basic
premise of a rogue planet, the only real impact of which on the bulk of the episode
is the Borg-like (yet noticeably cheap and uninventive) infrared headgear that the characters wear while in the
forest.
Next Week: The promo pretty much said it all.
