Opinionated Enterprise Episode Guide concludes its look at the two-parter, this week with Dead Stop. After the damage from the minefield they're going to need repairs, and luckily there's an automated repair station nearby that seems too good to be true, which of course means that it is.

This is about the station that kept adapting itelf to repair the Enterprise.

I like it because it is original

[Teaos]

Kinda cool episode, although, yet again, we see technology, far, far in advance of what it should be for this time period.

I gave up on Enterprise fairly early. Did this thing ever make an appearance again? Or did its creators show up?

[Teaos]

Of coarse not. Continuity, they name is Braga.

[McAvoy]

To be honest that is actually common in Trek and other shows.

Ironic since this episode begins with continuity.

Yeah, continuity and canon as it's seen today is... kinda recent.

I agree. In fact wide season or series long plot/arcs are much more common now.

No one knows who built the station or when. It struck me that those who made the station were simply more technologically advanced than those who encountered it. No different than the Tkons or Iconians--a lost but technologically superior species who left behind certain "artifacts."

[Teaos]

True, but you'd think someone would of tried to reverse engineer the station, or tow it back to their own space, or any number of things like that, it didnt seem to be guarded.

[Black Jesus]

At the end of the episode the station had been blown to smithereens so there'd be no reason to think to go back. Though it did repair itself (how'd it do that when its biological brains were destroyed?) so we're left to think its still out there. More to the point, I agree with you. I think that about a lot of the amazing technology Starfleet seems to run into. They either destroy it (Gateways) or it's never seen or heard about again (Dyson Sphere, so on).

[McAvoy]

One idea is that it was that one of the powers brought it in and had issues with it where the thing ended up being blown up.

[Teaos]

Just that one station, would be a massive advantage to any power. Flag ship is damaged? 1 week, 1 person and some generic supplies and your done.

Exactly which leads me to believe it was destroyed somehow before anyone could take advantage of it. Maybe it was Starfleet. Earth or Federation Starfleet.
