306 Exile
So this is the episodes that Linda Park described as Beauty and the Beast. It really is pretty much that story, but in a funky, Star Trek sorta way.

"Hoshi ... look into Camera 3... Camera 3!"

"Brr, It sure is cold on this soundstage."

Trip, you idiot, you set off the thruster? And launched the shuttle off the asteroid you were on? Why do they put this guy in charge of the ship sometimes?

Yeah, I think Linda is right. It does seem an awful lot like Beauty and the Beast. I liked that Disney movie. But, at least I found Linda's forum. Shhhh.

Those are pretty cool looking asteroids. Not at all like that video game, Asteroids. And they are moving rather erratically. Why in the world would every one of the senior officers on the ship jump in a shuttlepod and navigate through it? Leaving Hoshi, the ensign specializing in spelling is now in charge.

I love it how any space door, no matter how thick and tightly secured, can always be opened by ripping off the faceplate of the open/close panel. Even that huge sphere in Anomaly that was designed by technologically advanced aliens had a control panel that, when you blasted, opened it's security doors.

Stun doesn't work? Stun never works. Fortunately kneeing them in the crotch does work. We need more fisticuffs in Star Trek. In fact, I think we need some Kung Fu.

Alien bizaar... Alien consortium... they went all out on the makeup for this episode.

What happened to the translating? Is the universal translater online? Does this mean that Hoshi is nothing but a Uhura now? The intergalactic switchboard operator?

Hoshi and the sex slave are not going to make out, I know it. I guess the writers are not reading my mind. But there are some cool crazy weapons.
