The captain of the original _Enterprise_ has been traumatized by all the horrible alien stuff he’s seen during his voayages and becomes obsessed with hiding out on Earth and establishing his own highly-protected and well-guarded home.

_Archer’s Bunker Place_

Get it?

In the next Trek series, can we PLEASE have a gay character? I mean, an out-of-the-closet one (I’ve long had my suspicions that most of the Voyager crew was not-so-straight, but none of them would admit it). Or are there no longer any gay humanoids by the time deep space missions get underway? This I find odd - the last few series have made an effort to have some kind of racial and gender diversity (yay for tokenism!), but there’s no sexual diversity to speak of.

Zorro - think we could work a gay character into your Rip Curl series? \* Dawson’s Freak \* did it!

Kudos again for the correct guess of where I got my name. And I’m feeling MUCH better now, thank you.
