That’s “dragged,” O beloved GrammarBoy.

And I can’t believe we’ve got three **Enterprise** threads running simultaneously.

**Kn\*ckers** : I could not possibly say things better than you can…If I can say them almost as well as you, I be happy. 🙂

So why was the episode titled “Canamar”, anyway? They never set foot on Canamar. They were light years away from Canamar!

To tantalize us with the idea that we’d get to see the horrors of the penal colony.

Ratings, baby. Ratings.

Well, hell, if they’re just going to make stuff up for sweeps week, why not just call it “T’Pol and Hoshi Go to Prison”?

Okay, I think I’d like to see that episode. But only if there is the obligatory shower fight… 😃

I’m sure **Tars** would join you if you wanted to campaign for such an ep. 😉

</div>

Of course if we follow the logic of naming this week’s episode “Canamar”, then “T’Pol and Hoshi Go to Prison” wouldn’t necessarily have anything to do with T’Pol and Hoshi actually going to prison.

They could call it “T’Pol and Hoshi go on a dull shuttlepod mission”–and then wind up having a shower scene and a decon scene too.

For the wimmin: “Archer and Trip sit around writing boring reports”–and then they join the ladies in the above scenes.

I think we’re entitled to a happy surprise, given that we were ripped off in this last episode.

“Porthos Goes Pee”

And then we get to see our dream girls (or men) naked and trading messages.

It was called “Canamar” because Tripp and Archer were accused of smuggling squid. The prologue was longer in the Canadian vrsion, right Wearia?

Revenge, like calimari, is a dish best served cold.

Space is very cold, my friend.

They never made it to the future last week. They just talked about it a lot. They never even met anyone who was _from_ the future! They still had the audacity to call it “Future Tense”, though.
