ost_uid0]Yes, it was a great episode. And the weapon looks cool.The only thing wrong with it is the usual time-travel stuff. If, when the parasite is destroyed in the future, it also dissapears in the past, Phlox and T'Pol would have absolutely no memory of them ever having been there in the first place. So when they destroy the first couple of parasites, they could not have noticed them dissapearing in the earlier scans, and they would not remember having destroyed them. Etc.  [/colorost_uid0]

[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0][color=#000000 ost_uid0]Interestingly, this would mean that Archer would have been instantly cured. Because he would never have had the first few parasites they eradicated, they would have targetted some different parasites. Since after killing them, those parasites would never have existed, they would have eradicated some other parasites. And so on, and so on, until they were all gone.[/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]I thought about that. However, if Archer only had a small amount of parasites in his brain left (when Phlox and T'Pol are 'down to' the last few), his condition would probably have been less serious for all those years. Maybe they would not have found it worthwhile to devote 10 years to the development of a cure, like they have 'before'.What I also thought about, is the entire lifespan of the parasites. I would think that from now until eternity there would be some point in which they are cought in a subspace implosion anyway. (Eternity is a long time.)[/color ost_uid0]

These parasites manage to exist for all eternity without getting caught in some gobbledygook; now why can't certain top-flight Starfleet officers do the same? [/colorost_uid0]
