Enterprise: Horizon spoilers

Meriweather speaks.
A lot.
And we find out why so rarely.

The famed Trek critic Mrs. Plant says, “It was different.”
A predictable going home making good episode. Entertaining. T’Pol is less irritating than usual. Beats the hell out of John Doe.
I rate it a five.

Oh, yeah. Archer asks Travis about his visit and damage to the Horizon, which Travis plays down as he played down the dangers of Star Fleet to his mother. An obvious comparison to families, Trek being all about relationships. BUT, how does it come to pass that Lt. Reed is removing a vicious thingie the bad guys stuck on Horizon and Captain Leap doesn’t know about it?

Was there dancing?

Titanic had dancing.

It was pretty lame.

Was it just me, or was Tripp flirting with T’Pol??

I usually love character driven Trek shows. Can’t wait for Saturday.

I liked it, Mayweather talked (and cried!). T’pol was more likeable. Shots were fired. Its all good.

Now, 8:1 odds that there will be 3 more related posts then it’ll be back to phaser cutting phasers, Pandas and the claim of Norse gods.
Whos betting?

I’m going dancing tomorrow night.

There weren’t any pandas in Scandanavia.

Actually, there were. They were disguised as little blonde girls.

Gao Gao is here. Saw this on a billboard and a t-shirt. Gao Gao is a panda. Does he show up too?

So why doesn’t Mayweather speak? Somebody put hot sauce on his tongue when he was a kid? He gets a sore throat easily and the captain won’t let him have throat lozenges while on duty? He gets nervous and mispronounces things and doesn’t want to embarrass himself?

Panda pairing!

They’re waaaaaaayyy behind us, however. We’ve been panda-pairing for months.

Panda Porn!!!

I drove a Horizon in college. It was a pretty OK car at the time. Even if I didn’t put a spoiler on it.

Hey, even God likes Plymouths. He drove Adam and Eve out of The Garden in a Fury.

Ah… Bible humor…

What kind of car did Apostle Paul say Christians should buy? Honda Accord… “It is my desire that you all be one Accord…”

What was the name of Paul’s horse? Isme… “Woe is me (whoa, Isme) if I blah blah blah…”

The shortest man in the Bible was not Knee High Miah (Nehemiah), nor was it Bildad the Shoe Height (Shuhite), it was the man who slept on the watch.


A guy died and was standing at the Pearly Gates.

Peter said, “You were petty good, but based on some ahem problems you had, we cannot let you in here without one final test. You must answer these three questions…”

The dead man agrees to the test.

Peter: “What was the name of the first man?”

The man answers, “Adam.”

And the trumpets rang! And The sky filled with Brightness! And a Voice came out from behind the Brightness, “You’re right!”

“Okay,” continues Peter, “Who was the first woman?”

“Eve.”

And the trumpets rang! And The sky filled with Brightness! And a Voice came out from behind the Brightness, “You’re right!”

“Very good,” says Peter, “Now. What were the first words spoken by the woman?”

The man thought about this one. And he thought about it. He thought about it some more.

“Well?” asks Peter.

“Good God! That’s a hard one!” uttered the dead man in frustration and worry.

And the trumpets rang…

Just for the helluvit, I am going to keep my comments in this thread strictly on-topic. Not ONLY are they all going to be Enterprise focused, I will post EXCLUSIVELY about this week’s episode. How’s that for willpower? So here goes -

I’ll be interested to see if I like this one as much as those who already saw it seem to. I’m hoping it will be as interesting and un-annoying as it promises, but I can’t get my hopes up TOO high, because I don’t especially like Travis. An object of pity and sympathy, yes, but he’s so VERY pathetic that it kind of makes me sad.

I hope he turns out to be all tough and cool in this episode. That would be fun.

Also - I believe the boy’s last name is MAYWEATHER, for those of you who keep trying to make it into Merry-something, or variations thereon. Very important information, now that he is a Main Character, and not a Silent, Expressionless Piece of Scenery.

So he’s a Mayn Character, so what?

Sorry, thanks for the correction.

MAYWEATHER, or whatever his name is, doesn’t speak much because his family gives him hell when he opens his mouth and he is reduced to looking down and gritting his teeth. I suspect his mother slapped him for that when he was younger. “Don’t you grit your teeth at me, you young bbomer!”

So every new episode is now “AN ENTERPRISE EVENT!!!”

WTF? When did that happen?

The thing I am not sure of is whether the actor playing Mayweather is that bad, the writing is that bad or if it is some combination of both. Just seems like he is just reading his lines off of the cue cards is all I am saying. . . Plus I am not sure his character is well rounded enough to be one dimensional.
:wink:

I want to share something with all of you. My pathetic life:
“I was born on an stormy december night of 1979… (jumps all my boring early years)… my biggest problem now is that the last new episode of ENTERPRISE that I have seen was episode 26, the newest one haven’t been translated yet”.

So I always read this threads trying to imagine all those episodes that so many of you can watch regularly. So, in short, Pandas are not welcome, they are a turnoff for my imagination (this also goes for any dope-girl who wants to take me to bed, don’t dress as panda, or you won’t get some).

I propose then to have two different enterprise threads, a serious one and… other. Thanks. Sorry for disturbing you.

Any seperate Enterprise thread will get hijacked in three posts. Enterprise threads are like chocolate covered sex crack for hijackers.

[tangentially on-topic]
I see your problem, Estilicon, but since we’re all goofballs and hijackers, that’d be tough. In any case, as I said - I’m telling the Absout(e) Truth this week, so I promise that all my comments about this episode will be topical and pertinent. Though I haven’t seen it yet, so I can’t tell you anything at the moment.

Be forewarned - next week, I’m going back to lying.

Hey, maybe one person could agree to stay on-topic every week? We could take turns being helpful. Or would that be boring and dumb? I dunno…
