_It’s been a long time…_ I’ve almost forgotten what the series was about. But, now back to the further adventures of Captain Tucker and his faithful dog Jonathan. I hope they give Dr. Porthos more scenes.

Reading the synopsis I see that the Xindi “unexpectedly” release Quantum. Another awe inspiring tour de force in writing, touching the very edges of drama and suspense.

Archer does look cool with the snot beaten out of him.

I would like _Enterprise_ to do a Hallowe’en episode where everybody in the crew dresses up in funny costumes. Specifically, I would like to see Pimp Phlox. “Yo yo yo! What is up, my Crosaltian Blood Worm?”

I offer this conversational topic as insurance against the possibility that I will be bored out of my skull by the actual episode.

Phlox says, “‘Bored out of your skull?’ That’s a coincidence. Just the other day I was talking to the Captain about that very topic. He agreed to let me experiment on Ensign Mayweather. I thought it rather unusual at the time, but these humans are quite unpredictable. Given that the Ensign wasn’t using his brain for much lately, I thought he would welcome the opportunity to indulge in a somewhat novel adventure. To my delight, he had no objections. The operation proceeded without incident. Approximately 30% of his frontal lobe has been removed and deep incision into the cortex has reduced emotional responses to a minimum. I am pleased to report that the Ensign has fully recovered and his new demeanor is well accepted by the Captain. In fact he is currently up for promotion.”

Actually, given how much he’s been getting bloodied up lately, I think he should come as Jesus Christ, in an episode called “The Passion of the Cap’n.”

It’s blood mixed with water.  
I’ll have to watch it on tape delay tomorrow, but I’ll still my recap. btw, there will be some sort of contest on my site concerning these eps. I haven’t decoded just what yet, but it will have real prizes.  
:dubious:

Wearia,  
The Paramount feed to Canada did not take place at the usual time.  
Please let me know if the episode shows tonight.

I see you finally reclaimed your spot as the ENT OP. I’ll get you next time, though.

Do we get the last six (four?) episodes all in a row or are there more repeats still? More importantly, how will we survive summer?

There will be six more episodes to close out the season, and I do not think there will be any repeats until late May, when the season will be done.

We can regurgitate threads all summer long…I just hope there will be a season four. I’m doing everything I can to see that it happens, and so are thousands of my close personal friends all over the world, even as far away as Kuwait.

At least the different countries can agree on one thing.

I guess we can resurrect Cease Fire and that other thread we’ve been posting in for the past three weeks as well. Maybe even have dueling threads to see which has the most posts at summer’s end. (No, I have no life. :p)

Is S4 still seriously in doubt? I’m oddly optimistic about ENT not being cancelled but maybe I’m just naive. UPN cancelling a Trek series halfway through its run would be like NBC cancelling SNL to me. It’d be surreal.

UPN has Bacula (Archer/Quantum) doing the talk show circuit during the May sweeps when these final eps air. Good omen! But, our work isn’t yet complete.

It would be stupid of UPN to get rid of ENT, but this is the same network that dumped Jake 2.0 (sob!!).

There are still plenty of support sites around–here are just a few:

The last six eps sound pretty good. I won’t even mention the “R” word 'cause I wouldn’t want to jinx things.
