The right stuff steals a spaceship. Eh. Bad: A pilot says “See you in a few light years!” _must_ be a pun, but it still sounds stupid. Vapor trails in a vacumn. Good: Archer gets beat up. Better luck next week. ---

I like these good/bad minimalist spoilers. 12 hours to go. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by vivalostwages \* > \*\*… > 12 hours to go. \*\* Hmm… I looked at the time and your location. Your affiliate shows it in the morning? Got my VCR set. Still hopeful. That light-year line doesn’t sound too bad - It would be like if you were road-tripping with another car and said “See you in 500 miles…” I don’t think that would be too weird. ---

Good point, **Linus** but it’s still kind of a dopey line. My guess is that it was supposed to be hilarious, and just didn’t pan out. Of course, I say this having not seen it, so maybe it _is_ hilarious. ---

My reckoning of time is unconventional, perhaps? But I won’t be back from work till 9pm or later, so won’t be able to see the taped eps till 10, or possibly I can see the second one while it’s taping, then watch the first one. * * * Archer and T’Pol leave the ship for a while, don’t they? I imagine the following: “Now, Trip, do you think you can stay out of trouble while we’re gone?” ---

Dayang, **Linus** , you’re right. I meant 24 hours, not 12. I don’t know why I’m chopping everything in half these days. I even showed up an hour too early today for my class and wondered why my students weren’t there. Well, at least I’m not late. :rolleyes: ---

I completely understand, **viva**. Working nights as I have been for the last year, I’m occasionally not certain whether it’s night or day myself, so I can’t give anyone too hard a time about a little disorientation. ---

[biting hard]: CRUNCH MUNCH CHEW SPIT! I just can’t say a darned thing around here without having it all twisted into sex-knots. The futility of it all. It’s easier just to give in. * * * **Linus** : At least next week I’ll actually be home on Wed. night to watch “The Expanse.” Finals tonight. ---

“See you in a few light years!” Context shows this to be a lame joke, an attempt at saying something witty for posterity. ---

At least the shift differential is nice. And what do you expect, hanging around on a board with a bunch of dirty minded guys? OK, here I disappear for a while. Don’t want to get any real spoilers before I get a chance to see it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-first-flight-spoilers/175075.md?page=2)
