Episode Report Card Keckler: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Let That Be Your Last Bakulafield

Bridge. Quantum storms in, and Reed reports the explosion and hull breach on C-Deck. Quantum tells him to seal off the area and starts to order a security team. "Stop," Digimon calmly says, raising two fingers as though he were the Pope. Digimon tells Quantum that he's got two more suicide bombers positioned near the warp core -- why the hell were they allowed into Engineering? -- and if Quantum doesn't turn the ship over to him, they'll blow themselves. Up. Quantum furrows.
Armory. As crewmembers stand 'shoned and annoyed, the Christalien Scientists go shopping. Malcolm looks really peeved as they pick out his favorite guns.
Bridge. More signs of occupation. Hoshi walks across the screen, but other Christalien Scientists block most of our view of her so it could have been a double.
In corridors, Uh-Ohs are shepherded into quarters where they shall not want but may be madeth to lie down in green pastures while lockedeth in.
Sickbay. Phlox tends to three Enterprise crewmembers who look like they're in pretty bad shape. It's hard to tell which one is the female ensign we saw earlier, or if she got blown into space after the blast. Some of the Christalien Scientists roughly nudge Phlox away from his patients. Phlox protests that one has severe burns and the others are suffering from rapid decompression. Doubting Thomas says that his orders are to force everyone to their quarters. "I will not leave without treating these people," Phlox says angrily. Doubting Thomas tells the other Christalien Scientist to watch him, and leaves. Phlox gets back to work. Just what is a doubting Thomas anyway? I mean, how did it get started? Can't you just see some guy sitting in a corner in his Puritanical get-up, and whenever anyone said anything, he was all, "I doubt it." ["That's it, more or less." -- Sars]
Engineering. By the light of the silvery warp core, Quantum whispers orders at Trip to go along with what the Christalien Scientists want. Trip is in disbelief that Quantum's not taking a stand against them. Quantum reminds him why they're out there. Trip starts to point or maybe argue with him, but Quantum grabs him by the upper arm, propels him along, and orders him not to take any action against them. Man, when my mother grabbed me by the upper-inner arm like that and propelled me places, it usually meant I was in really big trouble. Trip finally says, "Aye, Captain," sort of surprised. Quantum assures him, "This isn't over!" and leaves. "Make yerself at home," Trip tells the Christalien Scientists flatly. Digimon smiles with smug piousness and follows Quantum out.
