Yeah, but he has the Talosian backing him.

_sounds of my pants looking really good on **Aes**._

_jealous that my pants don’t look that good on me_

_buying new pants_

Very flattered about all the “where the hell is Kn\*ckers?” stuff, BTW, and I’m happy to turn a blind eye to the mildly creepy stalkerish aspect. 😉  
Sorry I haven’t been around so much; real life’s being all stupid and busy and cetera. As **viva** mentioned, I post from work, and sometimes I have to actually… work. Eww.  
I do love you guys, though. Really!  
Kn(stress case)ckers  
P.S. Mmmmmmm… Dirty Trip.

P.P.S: I’d fight the Scaredy Klingons. All I have to do is strike a match, and they’ll be paralyzed with fear.

P.P.P.S: I just got a phone call that made my day, because it cleaned up a mess I’ve been worrying about all weekend. Yay! 😃

Welcome back, **K!**

Now, go download a bunch of

I hate to drag us back to the actual subject of the OP, but I missed this episode on its initial airing. Should I bother?

A similair plot to the movie “Enemy Mine”, it is a good episode.

“Damned Prime Directive,” muttered Picard. “Those people down there are killing and eatting each other, and we are allowed only to drink tea and watch.”

“Screw it,” muttered Kirk. Taking the Mossberg pump Scotty had beamed down, he jacked a round into the chamber and blew the Gorn through the wall.

Well… ummm… _look of bafflement_  
I guess I don’t know how to address the question, then.  
(In seriousness, I only remember this episode vaguely, but I seem to think it was fairly ho-hum plotwise. Maybe a couple clever moments sprinkled in otherwise green-eye-rolling-smiley-worthy scenes. That’d be a guess. I don’t think it was quite on par with the better episodes from the end of the season, nor was it the Worst Ever.)

Her slot machines loosened. 🙂 Tomorrow, we hope.  
Until then, I will continue my futile search for  
[WMDs.](http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/)  
Yes, Aes, I will indeed remember to tape “Dawn, AKA Dirty Sweaty Half-Naked Trip” for you.

Friends, I have discovered how to save Enterprise.  
Attend.  
Ahem.

Mrs Plant remarked on watching TOS today that Kirk is “at home” on the bridge. Archer, on the other hand, acts as though he isn’t sure where he is.  
“How much time did he spend playing characters he leaped into, where he didn’t know where he was?” asks I, being vaguely aware of the premise of _Quantum Leap_, but never having been caught dead watching it.  
"But even those characters he didn’t know he played well.: says she.  
Aha!  
The director needs to tell Bakula to play archer as though he had leaped into Kirk.

Anyone have Berman’s cell number?

It’s the same number as on the pager in _Bruce Almighty_.

Guess what, folks: I thought I was going to be around so I could pick up this episode I missed, but I’m not gonna be home. Got dinner with a friend. Yeah, I know, what kind of a lame-oid puts socializing ahead of sigh-figh on the tee-vee? That’s me.

Doesn’t really matter. I’ll pretend I watched it, and then I’ll come here tomorrow and write about it anyway. I understand the plot is about how it’s T’Pol’s birthday, but everybody forgets, except Reed, who breaks into her quarters and steals her underpants. Should be entertaining.
