I'm not quite sure what to make of this one. Poor old Mr Broccoli had a bit of a hard time again, though I liked his solution to the problem. I'm trying to imagine what a 'Vidiian phage torpedo' would do. Holo-Reg was quite a character, and his impressions were remarkable. Still, the concept of 'geodesic radiation' was frankly laughable. 'Geodesic' as a word came from the measurement of the size and shape of Earth and referred to a part of a Great Circle course, so I suppose that might be where they got the word from. However, it usually tends to refer to a large, rounded building made of triangular structures, a geodesic dome. As such, the idea of this being a fold in space, let alone a form of radiation, was ridiculous. Why didn't they just say that it was some kind of wormhole? They could even have suggested that the star the Ferengi used was Betelgeuse or Antares. There was also no suggestion of how the fold could form in the right place, not half way accross the galaxy in Dominion space or somewhere. OK, it was an entertaining episode, but some very bad science loses it a star. |
