Well as the title suggests I was watching Star Trek when line made me go "Eh?".

Chakota (sp?) - It reflects everything we fire at it!...How about a photon torpedo?

Errr isn't that another kind of weapon that would be fired. One that would just be reflected. Buh. So stupid. There probably is an explanation and it's just the wording that is annoying me but still. How much were those writers paid? How about you, have you ever watched a film/T.V. show and just thought "Eh?"

My point exactly.
I read the whole post. Twice. And I've yet to understand what is confusing.

He's saying that everything they have tried is being repelled. So they'll try something else.

Your IQ must be a bout 12 for you not to understand it.

But he didn't say that. He said:

Ie, everything they've fired at it has been reflected. Not would be.

"photon" is star trek slang for coffee and Torpedo is the captains nickname, so the line was simply asking the captain if he wanted a tasty beverage :)

No, they just go to the replicator and get whatever they ask for.

They should just fire everything at it and see what damages it.
