How can a physical phenomenon travel faster than light?

Be that as it may, we see Chef! We see Chef! Hooray!

I liked it. I don’t think it was based on a old TNG episode was it? I liked it. Neat episode etc.  
Now Chef… He’s either a guy, or an AI with a detachable serving android! That Chef is one complex dude, dude.

I’m not going to fall for it this time. I’m not even going to post to this thread until I’ve seen the episode, got it?

Especially when he hears about the ship invading aliens eating Archer’s poor dog and stealing his water polo tapes.

Water polo is there…Porthos has a walk on bit, but it doesn’t involve being eaten.

Only a little bit.

Er, do you guys think Archer has an…unusual interest in watching a bunch of guys in bathing suits jumping around? Sisko was into baseball, after all.

Wait, does Chef play water polo? 'Cause that would explain why Archer’s so enamoured of him.

I was going to write something dirty, next, about Archer’s relationship with Chef, but I decided against it. I’ll let you all use your imaginations.

Dude, it’s the future. Anything’s possible.

I envision vast underwate kitchens, complete with submarine mea grinders and aquatic blender. THAT’S the kind of achievement I want my tax dollars to go to!

Make that “underwate **r** kitchens” and “mea **t** grinders.”

I also envision a future in which I learn to finish my words before posting. I’m a dreamer.

Anybody find the 20 minutes and 20 minutes thing a little too convienent to make Archer act.  
oh and chef:

A Hefty white male… at least from the waste down and the elbows down. Nice touch in finally showing a bit of him

What is with T’Pol constant lies in this episode?

Good episode though enjoyed it on the whole.

The Aliens were ho hum but they seem to follow the philosophy of “Never Leave a man behind” which made me chuckle.

By the way Archer it would have been smarter to turn of the lights earlier.

What lie was there besides the ship “almost” being destroyed?

I misheard that. I thought it was Archer’s philosophy to “never leave a man’s behind.”

Which would explain his fixation with boys in Speedos. :eek:

And his inability to get it on with the completely nekkid T’Pol (they only show a back shot, from butt dimples up) coming on to him because of the Vulcanian (TOS Menagerie) psychotropic compounds in Chef’s eggnog.

A little too cutesy the way worked in a 12/25 reference there at the end. Oh well. ;j

No, I’m not Jewish. Why does everyone keep asking me that? X-ray vision?

Oh, God, NCB! Are you the one writing all that nasty slash fan-fiction on the web these days?? I thought so! Um, not that I have actually read any of it.

Off to check out **Nemesis**. Will “see” you later.
