“Singularity” isn’t so bad…though now that I’ve had a few months to think about it (yeah, I’m slow at times–blame it on my hamster), why the hell isn’t Archer’s chair one of those easily adjustable ones like–you know–ours? Trip has to take it all apart just to fix the height? Good gravy.

Maybe they figure, if you’re tough enough to serve in Starfleet, you’re tough enough to have a non-adjustable chair?

Oh, that reminds me - Singularity is the infamous “Trip’s hands all over Archer’s seat” episode. How I love a good double entendre!

“No, Entendre, you have to wait… What? Oh… Um… _non, Monsieur Entendre, attendez, sil vou plait. **Monsiur Legume Carnivore** a autre gens pour cirer_.”

I think I probably got that French all wrong. It’s been awhile since high school…

😃

I also remember this as the one where Trip runs a parametric scan of Archer so he can capture every dimple in his ass and every furrow in his brow. What he might have done with such information…well, maybe that’ll be the sequel.

A friend and I often quote Homer Simpson, thus:

“I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-R-T–I mean, S-M-A-R-T…”

This is going to be the Trek Doper’s equivalent of _What if LotR had been written by someone else?!_, isn’t it?
