Maybe he was going to defenestrate him for lousey spelling.
Maybe you’re both right.
Being such a goody two shoes he might have work himself up into a bit of a self imposed rage to do “what’s necessary” to scare the guy. Maybe he’ll start to do it a little too often. And then of course he gets hooked on the meds. White Whale!
Agreed. And if Phlox doesn’t like it then there’s always room in the airlock. 
Malcolm: Please come with me, Sir.
Archer: Put him in the air lock!
T’Pol: It would be logical to comply sine you are as nutty as a fruit cake.
Archer: There’s nothing wrong with me! Put them ALL in the airlock!
Phlox: Of course there’s nothing wrong, Sir. Just let me give you this small injection. It will help you rest.
Archer: I don’t need to rest! I have to put everyone in the airlock!
BTW, I wonder how Denobulan physicians treat the insane. If the patient rejects care, they won’t treat him. What if he rejects the tests that would show him to be insane?
Well Archer will have to get the Marines onside
Archer: Marines, throw those traitors in the airlock.
Marines: Okey Dokey, Sir.
Archer: And now let’s drown the Xindi in our blood.
Marines: A rather pessimistic battle cry, but let’s go.
Did the insanity medical issue come up in that same episode when the guy rejected care?
They did this episode already, except he was writing a speech while Trip whomped up a new throne.
Why…, That’s crazy!
I’m not sick anymore!!!
(well, not sick as in not sick with a cold, which is still hanging around, but not enough to impare my work abilities. I’m still sick in the head, so don’t worry about that! )
Hm. There’s something to be said for just stewing quietly & evenly all episode, but that’s not our Jon.
About the only thing I really agree with kingpengvin about is T’Pol standing up to give an order. The director goofed there.
Unlike our aquatic friend, I don’t have any desire to see Jon snap. Deciding that he must snap for dramatic purposes, instead of calming down, is as dumb-formulaic as deciding that T’Pol must rise to her feet dramatically. It’s not that it would be out of character, but insisting that a crabby Jon is pointless without a breakdown of some kid is a pretty sad view of storytelling.
And I don’t have a problem with stories that are about what they’re about. Not everything is an allegory. Also, I don’t think this was that unfriendly to new viewers. On the contrary, it hints at a larger & interesting world (with all the references to previous stuff) while making its own dramatic points.
I’ve been wondering how long it would be before someone accused them of stealing the airlock scene from Firefly.
Of course, what made it cool in Firefly was that Reynolds might have left Jayne out there.
So…I wish Archer had blasted him out the airlock. There would’ve had to been two…Drag the first guy into the airlock and blast him into the void, without question or comment, grab the second guy, cycle the airlock, get right in his face and say “Do you want to say something?”
Are you kidding? It gave us a much better view of her ta-tas!
Captain Archerahab hasn’t even noticed yet that he’s got a huge problem on board: A chief engineer who ISN’T GETTING ANY SLEEP!
Speaking of whom…
Check out
this weird play that Connor Trinneer was in a couple years ago. Is he the naked dude in the lower right corner?
One of my channels started playing Firefly repeats again. Man, that show was so great. It makes Enterprise look like a pile of Panda poo.
If you let Mal loose in the Dephic Expanse with a starship, he would find the Xindi in 2 episodes, scare them into surrendering in the next, and then spend the next 3 episodes blowing random shit up with torpedos.
Actually, the thought of blowing random shit up with torpedos makes me really, really want a starship.
Just throwing my two cents in…one rather subtle change in Enterprise (along with a slew of other ones) is the fact that the flyby shots of the ship now seem to emphasize that it’s a BIG starship. Most noticeable in the first two episodes so far are the shots of Enterprise approaching the trellium mine (which is mirrored from a similar shot in First Contact when the Enterprise-E is orbiting Earth: a extreme close-up on a portion of the saucer section, pulling back to dramatically reveal the entire bulk of the ship, which then enters orbit) and pretty much every shot in Anomaly between the pirate raid and the discovery of the Borg sph…storage sphere. Me like…there’s been too much little starship flying around like an airplane in the past.
Also, has anyone felt that the corridors of the ship feel different? I can’t really put a finger on the difference, although I noticed that while the corridors were straight during the first two seasons, there are now a few curved ones (notice, for example, the hilarious anomaly-pushing-people-around in Anomaly’s teaser. The Kai’s SuperGoo-esque (Bajoran design, no doubt) bulge approaching a poor crewman, a barely audible yelp, and said crewman is flung back…but to return to the subject, the hallway curves around in that shot. Either it’s a result of retrofitting or some anomalies have been at work ). I still think that there’s something else, though; it feels like one is a stranger on one’s own starship (OK, it’s not your starship, but you get the point). Anyone notice this?
I’ve noticed some encouraging parallels between Enterprise and DS9, the latter of which I’ve watched about two seasons because a very local channel has probably gone broke to acquire it, and then shoved it in an 11PM timeslot shrug
DS9 had a not-bad first season, as did Enterprise. Both had several good and a few great (“Duet”, “Dear Doctor”, “Cold Front”) episodes, and a very nice finale (ITHOTP, Shockwave)
Both had a string of competent shows at the beginning of the second season, and slid into mediocrity towards the middle. However, both also had a string of very strong episodes (IMHO, everything from “The Crossing” forward ranged from good to excellent, and “Bounty” never happened) along with a series-changing finale.
Here’s hoping that the rest of the show follows the trend.
Serenity is a freighter and has no weapons.
I thought you Canadians didn’t have guns.
It’s good, athelas, as long as Enterprise keeps flying by the camera just as they are passing over a stellar mass or other bright light source. I would hate to see Entprise go by and not be able to have its underside lit up appropriately. You know that’s what doomed our Apollo moon shots - no dramatic lighting. 
The Apollo Moon Missions had great lighting. I ought to know, I worked on the sound stage where they were filmed.
Oh no… I may have said too much… :eek:
Archer will figure that out when Trip is bored one night and sets it up so everytime someone flushes the toliets on Enterprise the intercom plays the 1812 Overture.
Fine, Tarkas, fine. We need a replacement for NoClue, and your making jokes.
Then I hope you ‘get annoyed’. A Dyson’s Sphere would explain a Lot…like how a people could survive 400 years after their planet was destroyed. As for the ‘unknown transmissions’ …sounds like it helps create a space/time distortion, which might explain some future ‘accidental time travel’. Also, could it be that there are more spheres than just one…? A 3-D patern of spheres might be creating some desired effect for a planet at the pattern’s center…
A Dyson sphere encolses a sun. 19km is kind of small.
