This episode was good geeky fun all the way.

The crew stumbles upon a crippled BOP and gets a close-up look at the Klingon tech.

I didn't recognize Vaughn Armstrong as the Klingon Captain the first time - would have been funny if in the last scene he sneezed :)

I guess the original actor that was going to play the Klingon Captain became unavailable so Vaughn was picked to jump in at the last minute.

"Hey Vaughan, you're here. How'd you like another paycheck?" :)

Hehe! Exactly! :)

Vaughn was a favorite Enterprise character as Admiral Forrest. He can also play villains with ease.
An earlier example of bad Vaughn...
"Just a young guy with a dream - for world domination!" :)

This was a good character episode, Rico. I have'nt seen all of Enterprise yet, but I do enjoy them when they're on. It was a great series and deserved more respect than it got when it was airing. And like you said in the 'cast ... the shows where we see characters doing things like target practice, or watching movies in the mess are great moments!

Hey Rico, AWESOME podcast! I really enjoyed it. That is a cool episode.

Yeah, this podcast made me realize I need to revisit Enterprise. Alot of gems there.

I haven't watched any Enterprise for awhile. I need to break out the DVD's and watch it again. Another great podcast, Rico.

Hi Rico I just listen to the podcast this past weekend. good podcast. It has been a long time since I seen this one. I wasn't sure if I remembered seeing that one on TV but as the podcast went one I realized I did see it. The one thing that does stand out for me in the episode is how they became aware of photon torpedoes. apparently it was not a federation weapons tech. it seems they got it from the kinigons.

I can't place him in B5 (although the armband tells me where to look in the episode list to find out). He's startlingly younger there - I forget just how long ago that series was!
