Friction in the House that Soong Built
9 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
So here, we get to meet other of Dr Flox's race. Odd that they had never been mentioned in TOS or TNG, or in any of the Moovies, Oh well, guess we never saw them, maybe they were always hidden in crowds of aliens in alien bars- Like in ST III, where Bones tries to hire that Blue Mercenary with the Huge Pre-Ferengi Ears.

Dr Soong, after Escaping from Archer, was beamed back up after Archer had some fun with his 22nd Century Handcuffs. But Mullet-Khan-Boy and his gang of ugly kids bust through NX01's security, kicks a bunch of Ent's Crew Arses, then "Proves" to Archer that normal Hoomans are genetically inept.

Ya know, there are two goals: The Goal of the Augments are to get the Foog away from the Hoomans, and the goal of Archer is to never give up chasing them. Kinda dumb, but hey that's the Prime Directive for ya. But ya know what else? "Augments" is not a good word for these Genetic BRATS. A better word, would be "Arguments" - Because that's what they do, they argue with each other, With Dr Soong, with Archer. They are a bunch of Squabbling Testosterone driven, Pimply Punks.

So now, Soong brings these pukes to Cold Station 12, and Dr Phlox has a buddy there. Well, here we have this year's excuse for using 24th century tech phrases: Dr Flox's race is more medically advanced than ANY other Race ever shown in any trek show, ever.

Funny, where were they at Cor Corolli IV? The Phylox Plague? Also they should have been around in TNG S2E1 where the D is transporting all of those Plasma Plague samples.

Put Brats into a Medical Cold Storage, and it is a recipe for at least one hideous death, and of course, as predicted it happened.

So The GenBrats release ALL of the Toxins - Archer gets the Cold Station crew safe in one sealed area, but he has to turn on some Tech Pumps, so he himself is trapped. Thank Ghod the Good Ole NX01 shows up just in time to burn a hole in the dome, releasing Archer into Space, and then transporting him back to the Ent.

Good thing the Ent's Transporters work many times faster than TNG/DS9/Voy transporters. Wonder how that happened? Needless to say, the Brats escape AGAIN.

But Brent Spiner is STILL great.
