They mine them out like that. You'd be amazed at how often that poo poo just works out for them though so no one really makes a big deal out of it

for real, a sci-fi show with realistic depictions of the energies involved would be both awesome and boring at the same time. space battles would be an invisible gamma-ray beam hitting an invisible target in the pitch-black darkness of space and disintegrating it in a flash of light and the whole thing would be over in a fraction of a second.

Some of the Culture series books have some great scenes where the protagonist is watching a thrilling space battle and does something like ask if they'll be alright when it looks like they might take some hits, and the ship responds by saying "lol you think this is real time? entire battle was like 2 ms".

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

gently caress the xindi arc, I hated that poo poo. not only did it hammer you over the head with space 9/11 and archer as space captain dubya, but most of the episodes were criminally boring. especially the filler episodes. remember the one where hoshi had to stay with the lonely alien on his empty planet so they could navigate the next region or some poo poo?

I remember really liking it when the show first started, mainly because 9/11 was just a few weeks prior so the idea that everything was gonna be fine and we're gonna go to space and gently caress you Osama I'VE GOT FAITH OF THE HEART YOU BITCH was pretty cathartic.

They were going to do that, sort of:

"At the 2009 VegasCon, Coto suggested that two story arcs of the season would have been to show "origins of the Federation" and "whispers of the Romulan war". Consequently, the Romulans would be the major villains of the season, although other species may have appeared in the mini-arcs. [2]

Brannon Braga also noted that he and Rick Berman had considered making "Future Guy" a Romulan. [3]. However, later Braga claimed this was a red herring, and that the season would see future guy revealed as Archer himself, trying to influence his younger self to set right the timeline. [4] [5]"
