I just saw this episode. Very good, but I have nothing new to add. So, carry on. 🙂 ---

Perhaps the misunderstanding arises from badly translated Alpha Centaurian. ---

Oh, and, uh, I haven’t gotten to see “Cogenitor” yet. Six hours to go, and I will find something to contribute even if I have to invent it. (As usual.) ---

I saw it last night but didn’t pay much attention to it since I had just seen X2 an hour beforehand and was still in post-euphoric bliss. Mmmm… Famke Janssen. Kelly Hu… mmmm ---

Okay, to mention one thing others have’nt : I like how they made the Vassians or whatever a race of epicures. I love when they introduce a race and instead of just being Bumpy Headed Humanoid Race #84 843, they give them some sort of hook in addition to the conflict in the episode. ---

Well, they’re **smell** -epicures, at any rate. I’m surprised that of the 8 cheeses Malcom brought out for them to try, he didn’t use Limburger. ---

He got laid. I don’t think we should criticize his taste in cheese. ---

Another thing: why is it that the cogenitor is the repressed sex? They should have mixed it up a bit and made the society ruled by their women and cogenitors with the men being the mindless drones. ---

Agree with you? It’d take more than the repression of a third of an alien’s society to make me _that_ daft. ---

## Okay, she’s back, and she only has a few nitpickity things to say. She will even disregard **Aesiron’s** error since he self-corrected. \*I’m sure the chairs on Captain G’Kar’s stratopod came from Office Depot. I should know. I’ve assembled several of them. \*My Gawd, does every guest alien race have to wear shades of gray? \*When Vissian chick tells Reed she’s anxious to see his array, she should have said “eager.” Anxious means filled with anxiety. Eager means…well, eager. A very common error. \*Archer got the movie line quote wrong from _Casablanca_–but then, a lot of people get that line wrong, so I might be willing to let it go. Just a little annoying. ## \*When Trip tells Charles/It that “the coast is clear,” how does she understand that Earth idiom? Shouldn’t she ask, “What coast? We’re nowhere near the sea.” Otherwise: Excellent ep! Holy sheet, I mean, dayamn! The pain of the last ten minutes was actually palpable. Kudos. Now if they’d just sustain that, or take a risk and try to top it. ---
