Well, they already had Apollo on, so it’s precedent. And Enterprise rips off enough plots, why not one more?

Ooh, ooh! What if we found out if Q really IS God like he implied in “Tapestry”?! That would be awesome. I’d so convert back to Christianity if that were the case.

Okay, so what you’re saying is that we’re going to have to lock them in a corridor between universes and have them duke it out for all eternity?

Anyone notice that after Phlox exasperatedly tells Archer that no he can’t stay awake and yes Phlox will be fine with the ship and Archer tells him that he was just going to say that he trusts Phlox with the ship (pant, pant), the DS9 theme was worked into the music? It appeared later, too, but I forget when.

_Glad I wasn’t the meany who hijacked this thread back to the episode instead of posting [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4564214&postcount=16). 😃_  
[sub]{After two IE crashes and finally being able to get back into the Board…}[/sub]  
I would have thought the command crew would have setup some automatic control scenarios for Phlox, a deadman switch, and a non-tamperable neural scanner.

The automatic control scenarios would be in case they were attacked or asteroids approached or something bad happened and they needed to go to warp irregardless\* of the danger. The scanner would require Phlox to pass a neuro check before changing a critical ship function. This way, hopefully, he couldn’t go too nuts and kill everyone. The deadman switch would tell the ship, find the shortest way out and then trigger a computer-controlled injector to wake up all of command crew.  
[sub]\* It’s like fingernails on a blackboard to me too, but I just couldn’t resist. :)[/sub]

Bah. Everyone knows that _Life of Brian_ was the best Jesus movie ever. (Except that it had the names changed to protect the innocent, of course.)

The real enemy is King of Queens, mostly because they run that stupid show twice a night now, and killed the Newsradio reruns to do it. Bastages!!!
