Episode Info

Hoshi Sato has a pet slug that she picked up, and it’s not doing well in its new environment. Meanwhile, the crew, tired of a dying slug being their most exciting encounter, are glad to find a stranded ship. There are no lifesigns, so they board only to find bodies being harvested for something like lymphatic fluid. As they are examining, the people who left the pump extracting fluids from the dead bodies show up in a large, cool, crab-like ship. The crew postulates that this is the slug race coming to rescue the slug Hoshi abducted. What happens? Find out in this episode of Treknologic!

Star Trek ENT: These Are the Voyages…, TNL Rating: 0/10 Offensive (special 1-time adjective), running time 1:16.

Join the crew of the USS Relativity in the 31st century as they travel back in time to review the ENT episode These Are the Voyages... The crew will also try to earn quatloos by answering historical trivia after the review. So join Captain Chris Sixx, Science Officer Keri, Chief Engineer Mike, and Helmsman Bill (temporarily out of this timeline) for this week’s mission.

This episode’s photo highlights a HUGE argument that the Treknologic crew have had for perhaps over 100 episodes! The question is finally answered. Star Trek has HOLOGRAPHIC CLOTHES. Booyah! Did you hear Keri, Star Trek has HOLOGRAPHIC CLOTHES – BOOYAH! Here we see Riker’s holographic Enterprise uniform in the midst of de-rezzing (you can see the patch on his arm), and underneath we see his standard TNG uniform. 

Mike tries to pretend that Riker was barely moving, but this is right in the beginning of the episode. He stood up and walked for a bit before he turns off the historical recreation and his clothes fade. You can check for yourself without incurring too much neural damage due to exposure to this episode.

At least they didn’t call it a “three hour tour!” This picture is of Porthos, showing you how angry he is at the intrusion of another dog. Where did an alien woman get a Chinese Crested dog? Is it an alien dog that can fly? We never find out, and no one else thinks it’s odd except us!

Join the crew of the USS Relativity as we discuss two Star Trek episodes from Enterprise: The Forge and Awakening. Captain Chris, Mike, and Bill try to  earn some quatloos playing trivia hosted by Question Master Keri.

This episode’s picture shows the wonderful set design in this series of episodes. We had feverently hoped that they would use these sets in seasons 5-7, but sadly Paramount didn’t count DVR ratings, even thought Enterprise was rated by Tivo as the 25th most popular “Season Pass” in their system. Other causes were the move to Friday night: the death slot for TV. It’s high time we have a Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon original series of Trek. Take off the network shackles and let the writers focus on story!

This episode’s picture is Captain Archer looking down on the Enterprise from the ejected bulkhead. This was a wonderful shot that gave a sense of scope to the Enterprise, and how small humans are in space.

In the picture, we see Surak, his gang symbols flashing, starting to fall down in T’Pol’s dream (apparently T’Pol has blurry dreams). Yes, the symbolism was a bit heavy handed in this one.
