And in the next ep. it looks like they’re giving Archer some ridges. But that’s overkill, isn’t it? He’s already got those deep, deep furrows…
Klingons got potato chips!
I think that has to do with swelling when both of his brain cells collide.
Did Hoshi have the dream at the same time? It was not my impression that she did. If not, it would just be a memory she picked up from T’Pol.
I’m thinking T’Pol is somehow broadcasting her dreams or thoughts unwittingly.
Hurry, someone stop Noclue before he posts, “That’s one horny Vulcan!”
Or Quantum gave T’Pol the wrong set of instructions (or incomplete instructions) for the mind meld. Like Sarek and Picard.
That Hoshi brought up the dream so matter-of-factly seems to indicate that she has no clue about what’s gone on between Trip and T’Pol over the past year-plus. Are Phlox and Reed the only ones among the senior officers that had any idea?
Jolene looks even more skeletal in silhouette. Yeesh. I’d send her a gift certificate for In n’ Out but she’d never use it.
But I gotta say, I loved the stricken, “caught” look on her face when Hoshi was telling her all about the romantic dream.
Men Are Pigs and we talk.
You just signed your death warrant.
Smile when you say that, pardner. 
Should you live long enough to read this, you may consider that a business decision. It would be bad form to kill someone in the course of a kidnapping, and they would have to charge extra to clients who would think that price gouging was dishonorable.
This could end up being good or bad, depending on how they handle Malcolm and Trippppp. If the latter changes his mind and rejoins Enterprise in the next episode and the former becomes himself after two more, I will be extremely displeased. Trippppp could well stay on the Columbia and become a recurring character, which gives us an excuse to see both of Starfleet’s ships interacting.
The Columbia looked exactly like the grandkids’ ship from E2. The extra monitor and the TNG-engine-style light pulses. Hmmm…
Say what?
"What" - satisfied?
Ok, I can see a hired kidnappers saying, “You didn’t pay me enough to kill anyone.” But they should do it just to keep themselves from being identified. I guess they figured their hoods would conceal them.
I could really see the Ferengi sitting at a table saying, “Ok, now if we have to brandish weapons that’ll be .1 Latinum, each. If we have to fight, that will be .5 Latinum for each minute of the fight with a surcharge of .25 Latinum for multiple attackers and .1 Latinum base charge for each attacker…”
There’s a higher overhead if you get caught on murder than kidnapping. You also get extra time for assulting an Oriental person outside a Chinese restaurant; being non-PC, you understand. Juries are like that.
Yeah, you’re right. And once you beat up an Oriental, you just want to do it again in an hour.
Pions?!
I’ll have you know that the half-life of a pion is only 26 nanoseconds. And that’s the half-life of a charged pion (pi[sup]+[/sup] or pi[sup]-[/sup]) – the neutral pion (pi[sup]0[/sup]) has a half-life of less than a millionth of a nanosecond.
They’re not going to last long enough for you to feed them into anything.
Pick your retort:
- That’s why they call it Science Fiction
- That depends upon how fast you feed them, doesn’t it?
- Hi Porthos!
- That’s why they always use fake particles and “new elements” in Trek.
- Whatever.
How do you charge your pion, anyway?
When come back, bring pion.
