The Companion
Well, whether I get through four episodes today is doubtful. I have to keep stopping to make these notes.
In very recent days I have flouted all theories about the future of our planet Earth.
I have decided that a global apocalypse of mindless automaton zombies is definitely not the destiny of our planet Earth.
Those of you following along at home understand how I established that "Stargate Wraith" represent a true evil force that has turned the "Stargate" producers into their slaves. They are slaves helping the evil forces capture more slaves.
I have decided that there is only one "Stargate Wraith" in existence on this planet Earth.
I have decided that she dies because she cannot control me. She cannot gain nourishment from me.
I have decided that when that bitch dies then I am free again.
When I regain freedom then I can start jumping back to the past as a time-traveler to set in motion the events that cause me to defeat that bitch.

SPOCK: Captain, Doctor.
(From the doorway, the three see a swirly thing which then disappears. Cochrane comes in with a tray of drinks.)
KIRK: What was that?
COCHRANE: Well, sometimes the light plays tricks on you. You'd be surprised what I've imagined I've seen around here sometimes.
SPOCK: We imagined nothing, Mister Cochrane. There was an entity out there and I suspect it was the same entity which brought us here. Please explain.
COCHRANE: There's nothing to explain.
(He hands a drink to Nancy.)
NANCY: Thank you.
KIRK: You'll find I have a very low tolerance level where the safety of my people are concerned. We find you out here, where no human has any business being. We were virtually hijacked in space and brought here. Now I'm not just requesting an explanation, Mister. I'm demanding one.
COCHRANE: All right. It was the Companion.
KIRK: The what?

KIRK: Agreed. More like love.
(The Companion vanishes, so Kirk and McCoy go over to Cochrane.)

SPOCK: You say we'll be unable to get the ship to function again?
COCHRANE: Not a chance. There's some sort of dampening field down here. Power systems don't work. Take my word for it.
SPOCK: You don't mind if we continue to try?
COCHRANE: Go right ahead. You've got plenty of time.

Damping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, damping is an effect that reduces the amplitude of oscillations in an oscillatory system
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_coil
Field coil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A field coil is a component of an electro-magnetic machine, typically a rotating electrical machine such as a motor or generator. A current-carrying coil is used to generate a magnetic field.
Magnetic fields require a continuous circuit, thus more than one pole. Most arrangements use one field coil per pole. Some older or simpler arrangements use a single field coil with a pole at each end.
Stators and rotors
Many rotary electrical machines require current to be conveyed to (or extracted from) a moving rotor, usually by means of brushgear.[clarification needed] This brushgear is often the most complex and least reliable part of such a machine. It may also represent a limit on the maximum current that the machine can handle. For this reason, when machines must use two sets of windings, the windings carrying the least current are usually placed on the rotor and those with the highest current on the stator.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction
Electromagnetic induction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electric current across a conductor moving through a magnetic field. It underlies the operation of generators, transformers, induction motors, electric motors, synchronous motors, and solenoids.
Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831
Michael Faraday formulated that electromotive force (EMF) produced around a closed path is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through any surface bounded by that path. In practice, this means that an electric current will be induced in any closed circuit when the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the conductor changes. This applies whether the field itself changes in strength or the conductor is moved through it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave
Sine wave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation. It is named after the function sine, of which it is the graph.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator
Alternator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An alternator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current.
Principle of operation
The rotating magnetic field induces an AC voltage in the stator windings.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude
Amplitude
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period (such as time or spatial period). There are various definitions of amplitude (see below), which are all functions of the magnitude of the difference between the variable's extreme values.
In older texts the phase is sometimes called the amplitude.
Peak-to-peak amplitude
Peak-to-peak amplitude is the change between peak (highest amplitude value) and trough (lowest amplitude value, which can be negative). With appropriate circuitry, peak-to-peak amplitudes of electric oscillations can be measured by meters or by viewing the waveform on an oscilloscope.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_ratio
Damping ratio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In engineering, the damping ratio is a dimensionless measure describing how oscillations in a system decay after a disturbance. Many systems exhibit oscillatory behavior when they are disturbed from their position of static equilibrium. A mass suspended from a spring, for example, might, if pulled and released, bounce up and down. On each bounce, the system is "trying" to return to its equilibrium position, but overshoots it. Sometimes losses (e.g. frictional) damp the system and can cause the oscillations to gradually decay in amplitude towards zero. The damping ratio is a measure of describing how rapidly the oscillations decay from one bounce to the next.
The behaviour of oscillating systems is often of interest in a diverse range of disciplines that include control engineering, mechanical engineering, structural engineering and electrical engineering. The physical quantity that is oscillating varies greatly, and could be the swaying of a tall building in the wind, or the speed of an electric motor, but a normalised, or non-dimensionalised approach can be convenient in describing common aspects of behavior.
Oscillation modes
Where the spring–mass system is completely lossless, the mass would oscillate indefinitely, with each bounce of equal height to the last. This hypothetical case is called undamped.
If the system contained high losses, for example if the spring–mass experiment were conducted in a viscous fluid, the mass could slowly return to its rest position without ever overshooting. This case is called overdamped.
Commonly, the mass tends to overshoot its starting position, and then return, overshooting again. With each overshoot, some energy in the system is dissipated, and the oscillations die towards zero. This case is called underdamped.
Between the overdamped and underdamped cases, there exists a certain level of damping at which the system will just fail to overshoot and will not make a single oscillation. This case is called critical damping. The key difference between critical damping and overdamping is that, in critical damping, the system returns to equilibrium in the minimum amount of time.

KIRK: Cochrane got it off of us, but I don't know whether he did us a favour or not.
MCCOY: What kind of talk is that?
KIRK: How do you fight a thing like that? I've got a ship up there somewhere, responsibility for four lives here, one of them dying because of me.
MCCOY: It isn't your fault.
KIRK: I'm in command, Bones. It makes it my fault. How do you fight a thing like that?

KIRK: Spock.
SPOCK: Yes, Captain?
KIRK: The universal translator on the shuttlecraft. We can try that, talk to that thing.
SPOCK: The translator is for use with more congruent life forms.
KIRK: Adjust it, change it. The trouble with immortality is it's boring. Adjusting the translator will give you something to do.
SPOCK: It is possible. If I could widen its pattern of reception
KIRK: Right down your alley, Spock. Get it here and get to work. That thing is still out there. Better go that way.

KIRK: Companion, do you love the man?
COMPANION: I do not understand.
KIRK: Is he important to you, more important than anything? Is he as though he were a part of you?
COMPANION: He is part of me. The man must continue.
KIRK: He will not continue. He will cease to exist. By your feeling for him, you are condemning him to an existence he will find unbearable. He will cease to exist.
COMPANION: He does not age. He remains forever.
KIRK: You speak of his body. I speak of his spirit. Companion, inside the shelter, a female of our species is dying. She will not continue. That is what will happen to the man unless you release all of us.
COMPANION: I do not understand.
KIRK: Our species can only survive if we have obstacles to overcome. You take away all obstacles. Without them to strengthen us, we will weaken and die. You regard the man only as a toy. You amuse yourself with him.

DAMIEN RICE
"Delicate"
We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate
So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?
We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate
So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?
So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

GILLIAN: What you're hearing is recorded whale song. It is sung by the male. He'll sing anywhere from six to as long as thirty minutes, and then, start again. In the ocean, the other whales will pick up the song, and pass it on.
(Spock is seen swimming in the underwater tank)
GILLIAN: The songs change every year, but we still don't know what purpose they serve. Are they some kind of navigational signal? Could they be part of the mating ritual? Or is it pure communication beyond our comprehension? Frankly we just don't know

SCOTT: Admiral, we have a serious problem. Would you please come down? It's these Klingon crystals, Admiral. The time-travel drained them. They're giving out. De-crystallising.
KIRK: Give me a round figure, Mister Scott.
SCOTT: Oh, twenty-four hours, give or take, staying cloaked. After that, Admiral, we're visible, ...and dead in the water. In any case, we won't have enough to break out of Earth's gravity, to say nothing of getting back home.
KIRK: I can't believe we've come this far only to be stopped by this! Is there no way to re-crystallise dilithium?
SCOTT: Sorry, sir. We can't even do that in the twenty-third century.
SPOCK: Admiral, there may be a twentieth century possibility.
KIRK: Explain.
SPOCK: If memory serves, there was a dubious flirtation with nuclear fission reactors resulting in toxic side effects. By the beginning of the fusion era, these reactors had been replaced, but at this time, we may be able to find some.
KIRK: I thought you said they were toxic.
SPOCK: We could construct a device to collect their high-energy photons safely. These photons could then be injected into the dilithium chamber, causing crystalline restructure. ...Theoretically.

MCCOY: Spock! Are you all right?
SPOCK: Yes. Quite all right, Doctor. A most fascinating thing happened. Apparently, the Companion imparted to me a rather quaint, old-fashioned electric shock of respectable voltage.
MCCOY: It attacked you?
SPOCK: Evidently. Unquestionably, a large part of its substance is simple electricity.
MCCOY: Oh, yes. I'm not a scientist or a physicist, Mister Spock, but am I correct in assuming that anything that generates electricity can be shorted out?
SPOCK: Quite correct, Doctor.

COCHRANE: The Companion saved my life. It's taken care of me all these years. We've been very close in a way that's hard to explain. I suppose I even have an affection for it.

EPISODE RECAP
Michael and Walt are finishing the raft. Michael tells Walt how much he is going to like New York City. He starts to get really happy as he explains it but Walt would rather go play with his dog. As he runs away, Jack comes over to talk to Michael. He says that people are starting to talk about who is going on the raft other than Michael and Walt. Michael explains that the raft is built for 4 people. He only has one spot left. Jack wants to know who took the third spot. Sawyer delivers the cable he promised Michael as his way to "buy a ticket" on the raft.
That night, Kate and Sun sit by the fire and talk. Kate asks why Sun lets Jin treat her so poorly. Sun says that she won't understand because she doesn't know Jin like she does. She says that he wasn't always like this - he used to be loving. Before she can say more, there is a commotion behind them. They go outside to find out what is going on and find the raft engulfed in flames. The castaways try to put the fire out by throwing sand on the raft but it's too late. Michael turns to Sun and says "Where is he?"
Michael has never been more furious. All his hard work is wasted.
