OMG OMG OMG!!! 😃 Why didn’t someone tell me about this?! Now I can’t wait until next Wednesday to see the Tellarites! We get two episodes next week (5/14) then the season finale on 5/21…I won’t say much about that season ender except that IMHO they are jerking around the canon timeline again. bah… I’ll just watch and try to enjoy, I guess. 😛 But still … TELLARITES, finally!!! 🙂 ---

So uh… if a Tellarite eats a hot dog or pork, would the Tellarite be considered a cannibal? ---

And I still have the bottle of oil! Hold on, I’ll microwave it a bit and get back to you. Hello, **tarragon918**. I believe the Tellarites are in the first ep. next week, “Bounty.” The second ep. is mostly Panda. ---

What are you dubious about? That we might not fully be able to enjoy Panda Action because (caution, real spoilers) T’Pol does Decon with PHLOX? Or because word has it that the non-Tellarite episode is about Vulcans at Kitty Hawk? Speaking of spoilers…Has everybody picked up the newest TV guide or read the link on the 3rd season’s big change for ENT?
