Seriously. Couldn't the damn sector 1045 fleet have met them somewhere besides the other side of 'ambush alley'?Duskofdead wrote:NOW you're onto the real mistake they made, haha. I was reserving that criticism but yes, no matter how much of a hurry they were in, they shouldn't have flown into something that would cut off all contact with the outisde.

Gods, I hated that bit.
"Hey guys! I got a great idea! Since we're being chased by an invisible super-ship that we can't possibly beat on our own, let's go straight into this nebula that stops comms from working so the reinforcements won't have a clue what's going on. Good thing the fleet commanders are so retarded they never bother to wonder why we go in and then not come out again....."

See, if it had been Janeway under attack, the fleet might've thought she had stopped to take detailed scans of the nebula, but this is Picard, man! Someone should've noticed a problem when he didn't show up on time.

Exactly. That bit of crap writing is a glaring example of the lack of thought or effort put into the script.ChakatBlackstar wrote:Why was the fleet sitting still? They could've meet up faster if they flew towards Picard.

"Captain Picard, I don't need to remind you how URGENTLY Proxima VIII needs those supplies..."
"Hmm.... I can't quite put my finger on it, Number One, but something here isn't as it seems. Let's put off Proxima VIII for the time being until we get to the bottom of what's going on here.."

Six of one, a half-dozen of the other. They only had Romulan ships show up to set up the "new era of cooperation" theme.Duskofdead wrote:That's disruptor fodder...ChakatBlackstar wrote:That would've been more interesting and realistic then the two cannon fodder Romulan ships showing upTsukiyumi wrote: Exactly.
