I’ll tell you when you’re older, astro, but sometimes daddies and alien babes like to hug.
I have to agree with the already-expressed opinion that if it was my dream sequence, I’d have ditched the dog but kept T’Pol and Yoshi.
Notable “firsts” for this episode: first use (that I know of) of the words “urinate”, “toilet” and “onions”. Also, first time privacy curtains are used in a Starfleet sickbay.
I thought the futuristicky chainsaw was kinda cool, and this episode had more laughs than entire seasons of Voyager and DS9.
As lightweight comedy episodes go, I don’t have any problem lumping this one in with “A Piece of the Action” and “Trouble With Tribbles”, and it’s miles better than any of those “Captain Proton” trainwrecks.
Dammit, I liked Dr. Chaotica.
Well, for sure, I wouldn’t be able to strip down to my skivvies and let T’Pol rub blue gel all over my body without it becoming blatantly obvious that I hadn’t… you know… in quite a while.
I’m not quite sure how the actors manage not to have that reaction, actually…
They think about where those duck lips have been.
Psst! Ethilrist, the answer to your question, and the answer to almost every question really, is – Duct Tape.
Enjoy,
Steven
I think I could get goo rubbed on me by T’Pol without having a physical reaction. Course, I have the good(?) fortune to be a chick…
Kn(knew being a girl was good for something)ckers
Duct Tape of Repair +1. Coming soon in the d20 Modern game.
Seriously.
Also, the episode has gone one great big step in the right direction for a spinoff:
Just imagine a show all about the sickbay and all the weird stuff in there, and add goofy rubber octopi wabbling down the walls. Then throw in the bubblegum goof music and a deep bass-y voice saying “Doctor Phlox.”
It’ll be a big hit with the kids.
Well, the duct tape would keep the women from showing (how many people know the story about Gabe Kotter’s wife on Welcome, Back, Kotter?), but for me… no thanks. I’ll keep the hair where it is.
Okay, I’ll bite: what’s up with the wife on Welcome Back, Kotter?
how about AfterPHLOX?
I don’t think it was Kotter’s wife. It was that blonde chick they added to WBK late in the run.
In her playboy pictorial she mentioned that her nipples were always hard when she was on camera and it drove the producers nuts. The solution: Duct tape applied to nipples. “Let 'em get hard,” they said, “so long as they don’t show.”
Owie owie owie!!! Band-aids, maybe, but duct tape would be cruel (and unusual)!
Were you looking for information, or were you gonna give us the punchline?
'Cause if you were, I’m sure I’m not the only one here who knows some Trek-related off-color jokes.
(Well, why not? We have to have something to do during reruns…right?)
I think i will dress in costume and chop up a tree during reruns, at least until i am arrested for chopping up someone’s tree in their yard…
Well, you won’t have to chop for long, Tars. Only one rerun; they get to the new episodes next week. Klingons are on the menu…
Well, I’m not surprised there’s no new thread for last night’s episode. Talk about the writers running out of ideas … Shees! Creman Daniel’s and Archer get stuck AGAIN the the thirty third century ! Suliban take over the Enterprise AGAIN ! And the same tired old trick to get Archer back via the laptop in Daniel’s quarters !
I’ve been a stong supporter of Enterprise, but I must say I’m a bit dissapointed in this one.
Oh come ON, Forbin, give me a break!
Some viewers just aren’t sophisticated enough for time travel episodes. I found this to be a new and interesting twist to the usual time travel plot. True, there was some vague similairity to a previous episode, but that is to be expected in science fiction.
Ahhh… Yes.
Like one of those time loops where Worf kept getting a pair of queens. Now I get it.
Thanks, Plant. You’ve restored my faith in Enterprise.
Glad to help.
