yup, it takes a big SUV to drive your slaves to market
Sigh.
And chocolate.
That’s lots of sought after.
Hey, zoogirl - Along the lines of your idea, it would be pretty neat if there was a HUGE EVIL CONSPIRACY, and, as you suggest, the congenitors died after insemination, but the aliens didn’t want to admit that to the humans (say, they picked up on the fact that humans wouldn’t like the idea, and maybe they needed something from the humans, like trilutherium alloy, or whatever, so they wanted to not make a faux pas), so, to make things look better, they LIED about the cogenitors being 3% of the population, and getting passed aroud, when in REALITY, single-use cogenitors were farmed on huge COGENITOR FARMS!
Oh, no!
But Trip learns the truth, and no one believes him because the alien guys are so friendly and all, and Malcolm gets laid, and Archer gets to drive the solarpod thingy, and all this time, Trip’s all freaked out about the disposable congenitors and the farms and stuff.
Then Wesley dies.
That would be cool.
Well, I thought it was going to be along the lines of your idea, zoogirl, but I kind of got carried away. Sorry about that. Yours was better.
If I can put one sighing smile on one carnivorous plant’s face, then my work here is done.
and I made my 100th post
–without getting into the subject of the objectification of the cogenitor, which is the path I think a certain fly trap was trying to lead me down.
yea me !
I like that part.
One wonders if there will be continuity with this…difference of opinion…between Archer and Trip§.
I interpreted this to mean that Cogenitors were rare onboard starships, but might be relatively common on Vissia. After all, if you’re going to be in deep space for several months, and there’s only one couple on board your ship that needs Cogenitation services, the government is going to be reluctant to allocate a Cogenitor to you.
Well, they did say cogenitors were only 3% of the population. What their specific involvement is in the reproductive process, well, that’s vague. If they have to be around for a few weeks so they can internalize the hormones of the male and the female and produce an appropriate enzyme, that’s one thing; it’s another thing if they’re shuttled from couple to couple and are needed for only an hour for conception to take place. We can hypothesize, but I don’t think there’s enough evidence in the episode to come to a solid explanation.
Yeah, that bummed me out - I would have liked more details of the Vissian reproductive system.
No, you punks, not because I’m a perv. I’m just curious is all. My perviness is totally seperate and disctinct from my scientific curiosity.
And I wanted to make fun of them for screwing up with their biology. Only I can’t, because they never TOLD us anything.
I feel so cheated.
How come there wasn’t a feather boa wearing pimp pushing the cogenitor out to Enterprise’s crew? Then we’d get to see a pimp fight as alien pimps start smacking around Trip 'till he goes all Feral Trip on them.
You didn’t take your pills, did you Tars?
it would’ve been interesting if the cogenitors had been sex-obsessed promiscuous brainless beings (insert favorite offensive joke here) and Trip didn’t find out until he’s alone to try to ‘educate’ one and He gets the education hehe.
I know this thread is going downhill fast, but hey, it’s a fun ride straight to the gutter
I have never, ever seen a feather boa that was wearing a pimp. (In fact, all feather boas I have ever seen were completely naked.)
The pills told me not to eat them, they didn’t like the dark…
Red pill? Or blue pill?
X Men United is awesome!
A little weak on certain plot points, and Rogue still hasn’t killed anyone, but they added a great twist.
Oooh, and LOTS of killing! 
You guys hate me with Opera, right?
I have to cut and paste to notebook to see the spoilers.
All for…no, I can’t tell the spoiler.
My little sister did things like. Untill the accident.
Mother doesn’t let me talk about Sister anymore, so I musn’t.
You’ve ruined everything!
The best part of the show was watching Archer’s testicles finally drop and give Tripp what fer. Too bad it took a death to get him to that point rather than being a hardass military type.
Archer’s a captain, not the crew’s best friend. I’m certain he’ll turn back into Mister Softy by next episode and nobody will remember anything.
’plant, have you been messing with River?
I never date women who shoot with their eyes closed.
But Archer and Trip will have
make-up sex
and then everything will be okey-dokey again.
Hi, tarragon–I see you picked up 'plant’s spelling quirk. 
Okay, I haven’t seen the show yet. Tonight for sure, with a back up tape in the other VCR.
