Neyh.  
Better if Bakula could act, but worth it for the ending.  
Driving scene rip off from _A Piece of the Action_.  
“Why can’t you tell me if you are a Time Traveler?” beaten into the ground.  
Stay for the ending.

At the end, The RESET Button is pushed, causing us to see a scene with Gene and Majel in bed.

Gene turns to Majel and says: " I just had the most incredible dream…"

No, but T’Pol is a rabid anti-smoker.

And whores.

Did I forget the whores?

T’Pol is a whore?

That is what happens when Trip is allowed to decide where the away team goes…

Trip: We just need some information!  
Reed: You’ve been questioning those three ladies for 6 hours, and won’t let us talk to them!  
Trip: I paid for 8 hours, now shove off!

I believe they prefer the term, “Ladies of Negotiable Virtue”.

I missed last week’s episode, about the clone. What do I need to know about what happened in that show in order to keep track of all the continuity that will be carried forward to this one?

Continuity? “It is to laugh”, methinks. Simlitude Synopsis: Trip is fine and we don’t even know what he thinks about his clone’s sacrifice.

Berman does a cameo as a prostitute? Or do you mean they are Men during the Day? Changelings? Shapeshifters? From the Dominion?! You mean Odo is back?!! You mean {clunk as rock hits head}

So, this must mean that the Xindi-Reptiles fell down from the sky on T’Pols birthday to sprinkle a bio-weapon on her that also acts like an aphrodisiac since all the men follow her. Right?

The episode still on [www.startrek.com](http://www.startrek.com) shows Archer using his handy-dandy tricorder (or monocorder since this is only the 22nd century) to rob an ATM. Is he robbing some ancestor so he can be a nice guy or just Joe Schmo? It’s always annoying when a few futuristic button pushes can thread the inner workings of computer technology and make it cough up something new.

Besides driving as in _A Piece of the Action_ did they steal their clothes ala _City on the Edge of Forever_, or has fashioned stayed compatible in the last century?

[sub]Damn Search Engine. I didn’t find the thread because some **Plant** put a dash in the title after **Enterprise** ☹ ;)[/sub]

Well, Reed became guy #2 to become pregnant, with a Xindi Lizard’s baby. He actually had twins, one looked like a humand girl, the other was all lizard. The lizardbaby soon died, due to lizard-human bacteria issues. But the lizard baby’s death gave the Humans what they need to beat the Xindi, which they released from hot air balloons in this episode. Also, Diana stole the human girl baby and Beastmaster and Reed had to go bust her out, and she used magic powers to disarm the Xindi mothership over LA. Also Freddie Kruger was running around.

Hey, maybe the fabled and now extinct bird-xindi will reappear if you play The Caprtenter’s _Close To You_ backwards will dangling a dead targ over your head under the double full moons of Acturas!

Well, yeah, to be specific about it. I was just summarizing. So, Trip is fine, but we don’t know what he thinks of his clone sacrificing himself as the lizard-baby’s first meal.

They dropped them from balloons? Man, that must be hard to watch! I mean, when I saw that dead lizard baby start to smolder and bubble, well, that was hard enough. But then the bubbles popped and out came all those little Trip-Lizard fusions! I swear, one even looked like Hitchcock, but that doesn explain the one that looked like Kruger. The one that looked like Phoebe Cates was hot though. What happened to the others?

All of the lizardbabies then sprouted wings and glided down onto the Xindi homeworld. Once there, they started a grassroots campaign to legalize bad saxaphone music during sex scenes on late night cinemax movies. When the Xindi King points out that this is already legal. and much overdone, the lizardbabies form their own band, where they sing covers of songs from the Muppet Babies TV series, and score number one hits with “Jailbirds” and “Merry-Go-Round”, the memory of which causes 25th century humans to not destroy the Xindi homeworld.

I thought it was a Gap commercial at first.

Oh no! IT’S THE PHONE! :eek:

Ah… perhaps a RedJack theme?
