Topic: Civilization (ENT episode)


In the News (Sun 29 Nov 09)

  
  Civilization - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
The Malurians were gathering a kind of veridium isotope they probably used to make weapons, and the disturbance was caused by a antimatter generator they were using.
Since the Malurians had no regard for the deaths they were causing, the Enterprise crew proceeded to dismantle the operation without causing too much cultural damage to the Akaali civilization.
She goes on to say that it would be wise for Starfleet to adopt these "Vulcan protocols." Starfleet would later adopt them as part of the Prime Directive, serving as a benchmark for measuring development of a civilization and admission to the Federation.

  Civilization (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A civilization can refer to a city-dwelling human society, human culture in general, etiquette and sophistication, or the imperialistic act of "civilizing lesser peoples".
Civilization (computer game) is a turn based strategy game by Sid Meier.
Civilisation, presented by Sir Kenneth Clark, was a popular television series outlining the history of Western society produced by the BBC and aired in 1969.

 Extinction (ENT)
It first aired on September 24, 2003 and is considered the worst episode of season three.
The episode opens with a group in bio-hazard suits chasing a humanoid through a jungle.
The doctor tells Archer he plans to destroy the last sample of the virus, but the captain orders him not to, saying that it was the last effort of a now extinct species to preserve itself and should be preserved as a testament to their civilization.

 Enterprise - Chronology
Surak was established in "The Savage Curtain" (TOS) and referred to in "The Andorian Incident" (ENT).
Although that episode gives an era of the 1990s for the conflict, later Star Trek (and Enterprise particularly) generally operate under the assumption that their universe is much more similar to our own, and we didn't experience a global conflict last decade.
Note that "Terra Nova" (ENT) establishes that Utopia Planitia was established as a settlement on Mars before 2067, when the Conestoga was launched.

ENT can scan hull composition and presence of weapons on ships that are at warp, two hours away (probably at warp 4).
On ENT, T'Pol (in blue) is in command, as three "heavily-armed" "warships" are detected, approaching at warp, ETA two hours; their hull alloys match the construction of the mining camp.
At the Xindi Council, the reptile-man reports ENT scanned and left nearly three hours earlier, and headed towards the "Orassin distortion fields." The insect-man insists "the weapon" be completed, or he'll destroy the Earth ship himself.

 [TOS] Jammer's Review: Second Season Episode Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The episode is another analysis of life, discovery, and understanding in the tradition the classic-themed "The Devil in the Dark." The Companion and Cochrane have an interesting, affectionate relationship that might best be described as mutual co-dependence.
This episode makes for a solid, interesting murder investigation with a few neat twists--including the revelation that the murderer is an alien entity that has jumped from body to body and planet to planet for centuries in its quest to feed upon other people's terror.
Also, the episode comes across like the spin-off pilot show that it was intended as; at times it's more interested in providing a backdrop to a series that would never come to be than it is in making its story the priority.

I've observed a lot of unnecessary confusion created (and bandwidth consumed) when the spelling of terms is unclear, or their attribution; so I've tried to derive everything from the closed captions, and distinguish between what we *see* and what is *claimed* by characters.
We don't know if he's measuring from Earth, from the Ent's previous planetfall, its total odometer reading, etc. (Noted by D.Joseph Creighton.) ACT 3: * Garos claims to be from the Malurian system, that he led a survey mission to the Akaali world 2-y earlier, and decided to stay.

 [No title]
Right there is your evidence that this episode could be about the problems of contaminating other cultures, but the episode has no real desire to follow it through with any sort of thought pattern or to any intelligent conclusion.
The episode turns up the heat in the final act, which includes a phaser shootout on a crowded sidewalk and an attack on the Enterprise by the Bad Undercover Infiltrators' ship, which proves that this Starfleet vessel will have to outsmart its opponents since it definitely won't be outgunning them.
"Civilization" doesn't say anything new or interesting, or have anything that can be called a "point." It ends without asking any sort of question about the dangers of interfering with alien cultures, particularly those who don't have the technology or understanding to defend themselves from the social effects of a more advanced alien influence.

 Mailgate: rec.arts.startrek.reviews: [ENT] Lynch's Spoiler Review: "Civilization"   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Unlike the preview, then, the actual episode "Civilization" established that we're still in a pre-Prime Directive era, in a manner somewhat different from what "Terra Nova" did earlier in the season.
The earlier episode questioned (albeit briefly) whether Archer could swoop in and play God with a newly developed society, even if that society was once fully human.
At its heart, "Civilization" is primarily a tale of Our Heroes trying to blend in with another culture in order to solve a problem.

 Ex Astris Scientia - What is Canon?
Another one is the Vulcan arc of ENT: "The Forge", "The Awakening" and "Kir'Shara" that successfully removes a previous continuity error concerning Vulcan Mind Melds from canon.
These episodes are commonly said to be among the most creative and most enticing scripts of all Star Trek.
Niven was irritated when Dean Foster wrote the novelization of the episode instead of himself, although he contradicts the common rumor that he threatened legal actions against Paramount (interview at Trekplace).

 Star Trek: Enterprise - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
A Kzinti episode had been suggested as a prequel to TAS: "The Slaver Weapon", which progressed as far as a "rough rendering" of a Kzinti starship, commissioned by writer Jimmy Diggs.
However, with the 40th anniversary of Star Trek, Enterprise was replaced in syndication by "remastered" versions of classic TOS episodes on 16 September 2006.
Each episode costs about 2 to 3 US dollars, and are available in both standard and high-definition widescreen.

 Carbon Creek (episode) - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
Mestral decided he didn't want to go back to Vulcan as he didn't want to let the chance slip by to study an emerging civilization (he was probably still alive and on hand when the Phoenix first went to warp).
This episode is one of the few on-screen depictions of a Vulcan drinking alcohol.
This episode's opening scenes and premise are very similar to an earlier novel, Strangers from the Sky, which described a pre-first contact crash of a Vulcan scout ship on Earth.

 [ENT+] Civilization (SPOILERS)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
If this was pre-Prime Directive and it meant anything goes and fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants, so much the better as long as it made for an interesting episode.
With the discovery of the antimatter device and the introduction of another alien race, I thought it became a more conventional Star Trek episode, of the type we've seen many times before.
One thing I noticed here was the use of the word "Starfleet" at least once or twice, and maybe in the promo for next week as well.

In the episode, once the Metrons have taken control of both the 1701 and the Gorn ship and removed both Captains to a place that they prepared for them, there is a monologue by Kirk that notes:
I mean, ENT has been to Rigel X and if any place that is critical to discovery in this time period, it is the Rigel System and all its myriad of planets.
But with episodes where we see the likes of the Ferengi and Borg-both species who have distinctive features and behaviors-and for the rest of the shows to be utterly ignorant of who/what they are later on down the line is bullshit.

 Re: [ENT+] Civilization (SPOILERS)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I must not have watched the preview very closely, but I remember it emphasizing the relationship/kiss more than anything else, so I thought that would be the main focus of the episode...
I liked the episode much more than I thought I would, but I still have complaints: I still don't like the magic universal translator (but I guess I'll have to live with it), and I'm hoping that they don't think all that speech could reach the ship in space.
Starfleet is obviously the primary Federation military body, though, and seems to be based entirely on Earth.

A typical episode of "Voyager" has four parts: the introduction (when a conflict is introduced), the rising action (which takes most of the show), the climax (when the conflict is resolved), and the denouement, in that order.

This episode was not about giving the pre-industrial aliens new technology, but someone else doing nasty things to the water.
