At least Hoshi was topless again. I’ll put up with Enterprise being taken over by Wesley Crusher clones for that… ---

Uh oh, this thread has become jibberish like all Enterprise threads before it. Oh well… I was unsatisfied with this weeks episode. It was interesting sure but I had this feeling of deja vu all the way through it. Werid huh? ---

Definitely werid. 😉 I have to say, I was a little disappointed to see Enterprise get so derivative, and only in the second season! If they’re recycling ideas this early, just think where they’ll be an a couple years’ time! Spoiler for Enterprise, Season 7, episode 3: Hoshi: Oh, look, I’ve lost my shirt again. Archer: Maybe you left it in the Decon chamber. With my sense of humor. Malcomb: Can we please kill me now? Or, never mind, I’ll just pull another piece of magic out of Crewman Daniels’ quarters. Tucker: I like pecan pie. ---

I keep hoping that the “ST Enterprise” series will venture into that alternate universe where Spock is evil. Maybe the Enterprise 1 crew in that alternate universe will be interesting and will be able to act. ---

Nope. They’re all gay. Sorry. In hindsight, I think I can get in trouble for that. I didn’t mean it! Honest! ---

Straight man as in Rowan & Martin. Carson and Mac Mahon. Bush & Cheney. Fine. CP: “Black guy? What Black guy” Sock Puppet: “Oh, Carnivorousplant, you dummy, Merriweather, the guy who drives the ship is Black.” CP:“Oh. I thought he was Nigerian. Isn’t that why he is always asking the Vulcans for their bank account numbers to help him smuggle money out of the Federation?” Thank you. I also do Bar Mitzvahs and children’s parties. ---

This ship is bare bones. They don’t carry hundreds of expendable redshirts. (ok, it was a fake that was dead, but…) ---

Why DON’T they carry hundreds of expendable redshirts? They have two extra plasma thingies (whatever it was that Archer had to embarrass himself to get). Why not a few extra crewmen? It really would be sensible to have some cannon fodder lying around. That way they wouldn’t have to just kill dummy helmsmen. Because killing redshirts is really a lot more exciting. ---

There could be a subplot where the crew starts dropping like flies, and they have to hire aliens to fill the roles, and these aliens are intrumental to the formation of the Federation. Plus they would be more interesting than many of the current crew.
