Looking at the description for “Dawn”, it looks like a cross between “Enemy Mine” and the old Clarke short story, “Summertime on Icarus”. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by NoClueBoy \* > \*\*Damn, \*\*Kn_ckers\*\*! Everytime I hear you talk, it gets me hot. > \*\* I have that effect on people. Myself included. 😉 To address **StPaul** ’s observation regarding Porthos - I would so love to see that! Archer takes the dog to all kinds of inappropriate places with him (hostile planets, decon room, etc.), It wouldn’t have surprised me if Porthos had gone along to the Wacked Out Repair Station from Hell, too. Betcha he’d have gotten more lines than Travis. **Viva** : I didn’t see the teaser, so are you serious? Are they really doing another episode of Commander Trip Underpants (or Undershirt) Saves the Day? Off the top of my head, I can think of four other shows in which he has spent a good deal of time running around in his underwear. Poor bastard - he must get chilly. Not that I’m complaining! ---

If you want to see a 20 sec preview, go here: [http://www.startrek.com/library/media\_ent.asp?ID=117888](http://www.startrek.com/library/media_ent.asp?ID=117888) So far, it seems to confirm my earlier read on this episode - “Enemy Mine” meets “Summertime on Icarus” (or one of the other variations on this story). ---

Think Trip will get pregnant again? He’s such a slut… I wish someone, anyone, would’ve done a redo of _Arena_. Talk about your hostile aliens! “Resistence! Is useless!” “I mean, what is it? The machismo? The leather? The mindless tedium?” Ooops! Channeling Dougie again. Set phasers on “Stunning!” ---

Ooh! Directed by Torres… was she any good at directing? ---

Well, she directed the ep. about P’Jemm (sp?) and “Dead Stop,” and a pretty good episode of _Voyager_. She also directs episodes of _Dawson’s Creek_ when Robby McNeill isn’t doing them. So you be da judge. ---

Ah, yes… Pointy eared weirdo invents velcro. Good ep. Not enough Panda, but still good. What is this _Dawson’s Creek_? A PBS fishing show? (oh my gawd, I just noticed there is an _Enterprise_ message board! What the hell do _they_ talk about, I wonder?) ---

That was a waste of time. They call Chef, Cook! And no pandas anywhere. Some people really need to get a life. (Why are you looking at me like that?) ---

someone should clue them in to where the real action is. On second thought, they seem lame, so maybe we don’t want them… ---

I mean the one from season 1 when the Andorians are in the Vulcan temple. Perhaps you were mixing up Roxann Dawson with Dawson’s Creek with Carbon Creek? 😉 ---
