Use of transporters and shields

In today's repost of Arsenal of Freedom chuck mentions that sometimes the producers forget that they can't beam through shields. What are the episodes where they are able to beam through raised shields.

Re: STA: The Seige

ZPMs are kinda implied to be a recent development, which is difficult to produce, even for the Ancients. Even the Pegasus-Replicators, who were able to construct new ones, only seem to have a few. And Destiny is pre-dating ZPMs by quite a margin and needs to refuel regularly. The ship is also signi...

Re: STA: The Seige

I think the reason is that all the ZPMs they tend to find are ones that have been in use for thousands of years. The ones that were in use on Atlantis were more than likely brand new before spending 10,000 years holding back the ocean. I feel like spending 10k years holding back the ocean is basica...

STA: The Seige

One thing that's always bothered me about the zpms in atlantis is how inconsistent they are. Three zpms together held back the ocean for 10,000 years yet a few wraith darts raining down on the shields and suddenly we're running out of power. It seems every time we find a zpm it's quickly depleted. Y...

Chuck doesn't really go into this but I feel like UPN's marketing on this episode was very deceptive. They totally sold it as the ultimate battle between the rock and "voyager's Battlestar babe". Even though the rock is barely on the episode and the real battle was between 7 and a random harogen.

Re: Voy: Threshold

Tom coming back to where he started because he felt Janeway being worried about him can actually make sense in the context of the traveler which established "That space and time and thought... aren't the separate things they appear to be? I just thought the formula you were using said something like...

Re: Voy: Threshold

The real problem is that nobody seems to understand that to get to warp 10 you have to travel at every speed up to warp 10. You don't need to break the laws of physics to get home, you just need to go faster. Since their discovery was a new form of more efficient dilithium if it can make them go 100...

Looked and couldn't find an existing thread for this one. I feel Chuck is being unfair with this episode giving it a 0. After all it is one of only 5 Emmy award winning episodes of voyagers run so objectively it should be in the top ten right? :D
