Picard got it on with Neela Darrin, until the firestorm hit and he got all worried about her being on the planet surface, then they broke up and she transferred. So basically if you bang the captain, you lose the career fast track of being on the flagship. Too bad Picard didn’t use common sense and realize that was the only freakin’ time in the whole series that stellar cartographers were in harm’s way (excepting times when the whole ship was threatened, but i digress) and keep her on as his Jerreries tube love muffin.

If you can’t screw the help, who can you screw! Don’t you know the entire reason that people had Nannies, Butlers, and Maids? Don’t get me started on Chauffers.

Enjoy,

I liked it.

Shoot me, I’ve liked all of them. I just don’t analyze them too hard. They entertain me and that’s all I’m asking from them.

Plus, anytime you get Archer with his shirt off is a good episode.

And he had it off twice to boot.

 Not that I was keeping a running tab or anything. :D

But still no answer on where and how that damn dog gets walked! In Klingon ships, I’m sure their targs (sp?) just go anywhere. That would explain the smell someone always complains about in the Star Trek universe when a Klingon ship is boarded.

“Two Girls, A Guy, And A Decon Chamber” the newest UPN sitcom

Good gad NoClueBoy, have you never heard of the “dog watch” on a naval vessel?

Amateurs.

“A poop question, sir?!” Sure, I’ll take it.

Archer takes Porthos for regular walks or asks other people to take turns doing it. They lead him either into the ship’s little arboretum to his favorite trees and bushes and let it all decompose; or else they take him to a little chamber, sort of like a large litter box, and just empty it or get it all resequenced.

You see? I know all the answers. I just can’t prove anything. 😉

The Suliban evolved into the Republican Party.

```
  For that matter, where were the Kretassans?  

```

Clue 1: It doesn’t matter, ‘cause the writers of TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY didn’t know nothin’ 'bout Enterprise at the time.

Clue 2: Everybody learns to avoid the aforementioned aliens some time between Ent. and TOS.

Clue 3: Aforementioned aliens are defeated or driven away.

I have so many clues, and absolutely no authority.

Vulvan? or Vulcan? Freudian slip, eh?
