I've just finished reading the following books by Cormac McCarthy and they are ALL excellent. Cormac McCarthy is in my opinion, one the best American authors of all time.

No Country For Old Men
The Road
All The Pretty Horses
Blood Meridian
The Crossing

Not a bad episode. Definitely quirkier than usual. I had a bit of a hard time following things for the first ten minutes or so, as it was all over the place.

I was late to this one during the first run as none of the surface subject matter really catches my viewing attention. My work mate kept telling me I needed to see it though, so between my usual habits, I watched it and fell in love. At the end of it all, it's a show about healing emotionally. I guess that does fit my scope of interests after all...

Anyways, watch the first 3 seasons if you somehow missed them and...

It’s been 17 years since the start of JJ Abrams’ takeover of Star Trek. The interview posted above had me concerned, but I was willing to bet on it since we hadn’t had a Star Trek movie or TV show in what? 7 years at that point? Abram’s was Hollywood’s “IT” man and he had a decent string of sci-fi/action hits on his resume and Star Trek was in dire need of a fresh perspective. I was geeked!...

Enterprise just about got there, but not until Manny Coto took over in its last season.

But I want to know: What did Earth face between Enterprise and TOS that made them armor their ships to high hell?

(Because based on the appearance of ENT ships and TOS ships, the only logical explanation for the visual difference is thick-ass armor and hardcore-"ruggedized" portable tech.)

So why'd they do that? How did they get from TMP-ish ships to TOS ships, where...
