PROMENADE

Place an ad today!


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.

The British SFX Magazine has filled its pages yet again with detailed script synopses for upcoming ENTERPRISE episodes, this time "The Crossing" and "Judgment."

According to the information, transcribed by The Great Link, "The Crossing," will see the Enterprise NX-01 swallowed by an alien vessel containing non-corporeal beings.

"Archer and an away team go out to explore the massive ship’s bizarre interior and find answers to their predicament. They discover non-corporeal, mist-like, alien beings – wisps – inside the cavernous alien ship. The wisps claim they intend to do no harm and that making ‘the crossing’ – as they call the mental merging – will allow humankind to experience great wonders," the magazine reports.

As more of the crew become possessed, Archer confines them to quarters and those unaffected take refuse in the catwalk, which the aliens cannot penetrate. T'Pol ventures out in hopes of making communication and learns that the aliens are dying and seeking bodies to inhabit and maintain their existence.

Archer will have none of this and floods the ship with carbon dioxide, forcing the wisps out of the suffocating crew members' bodies, and then destroying the alien vessel before it can engulf the Enterprise again.

"Judgment" will be an event episode featuring a guest role by J.G. Hertzler, known for his role as 'Martok' on DEEP SPACE NINE. The episode features a plethora of STAR TREK continuity references, from the Klingon 'Duras' to the penal colony 'Rura Penthe'. The magazine offers a detailed summary of this script as well.

Archer is accused of aiding Klingon rebels and damaging a Klingon ship and when 'Kolos', a burned-out Klingon public defender played by Hertzler, is assigned to his case, there seems little hope. Kolos "gets Archer to testify that Enterprise was aiding starving colonists who were merely trying to leave the Klingon Empire and that the Klingon vessel fired first. Kolos points out that previously Archer saved the Empire from a Suliban plot and also rescued a Klingon ship," SFX writes.

The Klingon tribunal is not impressed and sentences Archer to life imprisonment at Rura Penthe, the penal colony from STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. Kolos, too, is sentenced to a year for his insolence. Enterprise eventually bribes Klingon officials to earn Archer's release but Kolos opts to stay behind and finish his term before hoping to restore honor to the Klingon justice system.

It is worth noting that due to the nature of print publication, SFX's summaries may be based on early drafts of the episode scripts that changed by the time of production. You can read more about "The Crossing" here and "Judgment" here. Both episodes air in March on UPN.

Well, seems I've started an arguement in my earlier thread. Please accept my apologies. I get a little rabid sometimes. I didn't mean to offend or upset anyone. I'm just an avid supporter of Enterprise and want to give them every chance possible. And so far, I've not been disappointed.

Again, didn't mean to offend anyone. Sorry.

Sounds nice

The Klingon spoilers are gentle and sound worth watching. Seeing a Klingon-based episode sounds good and the plot it not contrived. Dispite what other threads say, it seems that bribery fits the motif of the Klingons. Too bad Spock didn't think of that in ST:TUC! Would've saved a few grey hairs on their collective heads.

As for the Whisps...well...not really all that thrilled to watch a demon-possesion episode. Let's just hope Trip's head doesn't start spinning around.

doesn't sound awful to me

I'm not a fan of Enterprise, but i don't think that any of that sounds terribly bad. I'd much rather a trial and Rura Penthe mention than yet another borg ep. I probably won't watch, but I'll be reading reviews and posts to see if they are indeed getting better. Might catch back up during the summer re-runs...

On paper any episode can be viewed as crap when you have a vast number of episodes to compare them to...

On paper.

First off...Phaserboy, you need to watch your language. Your profanity does nothing to bolster anyone's concern about what you think...to say nothing of the perception of your intelligence.

And the rest of you...WATCH THE EPISODES BEFORE YOU CONDEMN THEM!

Lame ideas abound

Okay, what do you bribe a Klingon with, blood money? This is just stupid, honestly. This doesn't sound like one of ENT's shining moments for season two. The idea of Klingons having a judicial system as described has always bothered me, and the fact that the magistrate would wield a gavel like on Earth is profoundly retarded.

Additionally, I think "The Crossing" sounds wholly unoriginal. We haven't seen very many original sci-fi concepts out of B&B in a very long time. The only nice thing I can say about this one is that the properties of the catwalk will probably become implemented throughout the entire hull of future starships as a defensive measure against certain types of invasions and scans.

Regarding "The Crossing" and "Judgement"

>>>Enterprise eventually bribes Klingon officials to earn Archer's release but Kolos opts to stay behind and finish his term before hoping to restore honor to the Klingon justice system.<<<

A far simpler task than restoring honor to the Berman Administration. "The Crossing" sounds like a silly and tired rehash of "Return to Tomorrow". Soon, B&B will have to start stealing plots from other sci-fi franchises because there won't be any more Trek plots from previous shows left to steal.
