lol, at first I thought you made it.  But the fact that you have it is what scares me.

It's on their site.

Finally saw this episode - I cannot get over how good a mere Star Trek series is becoming. I hope they can keep it up - after the Xindi they do have the whole temporal cold war to return to.

That battle was very reminiscient of the First Contact battle. Technology nowadays - sheesh!

[an0n]

They've still got to deal with the Suliban. But with the new photons, engine mods they picked up in E^2, their mastery of the transporter and the MACO's, they'll probably be able to kick the goddamn crap outta the Suliban now.

[Bobboau]

somehow this whole mess has got to get related back to the Suliban.

I hope we don't see the last of the Xindi in season 3. Their technology is far cooler than any other race's right now (well, perhaps apart from the Tholians). And I think the reptilians have been the best-looking humanoid aliens we've seen in ST.

OOOOOOOH!!! I forgot about those people.. aren't they from the pilot episode/1st season?

whatever ever happened to them...

[Ace]

Well the last time we saw them or shadowy figure dude(tm) was when they told Archer that the Xindi attacked Earth at the end of the second season.

I'm surprised that they didn't show up this season at all, especially since they've had an episode with the Vulcans and Andorians.

[Liberator]

They've had multiple episodes with the Andorians.  Maybe it's the blue skin, but Andorians have been my favorite ST race since TOS.

Breen, man. The Breen kick ass.

Everyone was like "Well, they use cloaks and old disruptors. And they've got crappy organic tech in their vessels. Other than that they're just another filler-race".

Then the Breen were all "NYOGCHOPVF-RUKNTCHOM", suddenly they're the most powerful race in the quadrant. They're the Dominion's main ally and have a weapon so tactically and strategically powerful that they could've kicked the Federation's ass singlehandedly.

[Liberator]

Enlighten me, I missed 99% of the Dominion War.

[an0n]

In Strange Bedfellows right near the end of Season 7 of DS9, the Breen sign up with the Dominion. Turns out the little coolant-suit wearing weirdos have a homeworld that, contrary to popular belief, isn't a frozen wasteland, but is quite nice. No-one knows why they wear the coolant suits though, they wouldn't even tell the Dominion.

Anyway, their ships are generally small and ****ty, probably a little less powerful than similar Fed vessels, but they've all got these big energy-dampening weapon things that hit a ship and completely drain all its power. Shields, weapons, engines, warp-core, everything dies. Then they use their ****ty photons to just pound the crippled derelicts into space-dust.

Thanks to the Breen, the Dominion absolutely massacred the Fed-Klingon-Romulan fleet when they retook Chintoka. That was the battle where the original Defiant was destroyed.

[ChronoReverse]

And the only reason why the combine fed/rom/klin alliance survived was because of natural selection.

One klingon ship wasn't affected by the energy dampener and survived the battle.  They quickly applied the modifications to the other klingon ships which managed to hold the fort long enough for the rest of the allies to regroup.


It is of note that the Breen energy dampener is the signature weapon of the vor'cha class in Star Trek Armada.

[Knight Templar]

Yeah, I think that was just to give the Klingons a little tactical toy you could play with.
