You mean you’re not gonna watch it at all? You don’t want to be in the loop? You don’t want to discuss things within the context of the show? You don’t want to stay on-topic? You just want to hijack like crazy and post giant black spoiler boxes with Panda references…

Oh, um, uh… None of that stuff ever matters. Relevance is overrated. Forgot where I was for a minute. Never mind.

At least “Cogenitor” sounds a tad original. Three genders. I’m not sure about the rest of it, though.

They did the three gender thing in TNG with Riker. He fell in love with a hemaphroditic concubine or something.

I was joking about not watching, by the way. If it’s on, I’ll definitely watch but it’s _so_ obvious a retread.

I’ll be back to read two pages’ worth of phony spoilers tomorrow night, after a day at the casino. I hear the slots calling me…They are saying, “Viva, you do not have to travel all the way to Lost Wages to [euphemism]invest in the economy[/euphemism]. You can remain in CA.”

Actually, I’m just [excuse]taking Mom[/excuse] so she can make Ferengi-like profits by sniffing out the most lucrative machines. She’s got the lobes for gaming.

Are you sure it was 3 genders in that ep? Dang.  
Okay, um, we can skip “Regeneration” for originality or continuity–we’ll have to pin any remaining hopes on “The Expanse” and then the 3rd season.

Pretty sure. I seem to remember her having to be impregnated by two others to bear children. Then there was the whole thing about her being ostracized 'cause she started to feel female instead of neuter.

So it’s 3:30am over here in the Eastern Time Zone and being both bored and obsessive compulsive, I decided to check out how many times the chief Enterprise posters have posted in Enterprise episode threads. Sure… it sounds scary (and it is, I guess) but it only took me about twenty minutes to figure it out and here’re the totals.

The first number’s how many times we’ve posted in these threads, the second is our total post count, and the percentage is the amount of our post count that Enterprise takes up.  
**Aesiron** : 241/881 : 27%

**Archernar** : 50/3249 : 2%

**Carnivorousplant** : 436/4953 : 9%

**Cervaise** : 50/3531 : 1%

**Kn\*ckers** : 167/1182 : 14%

**NoCluBoy** : 381/3078 : 12%

**Tars Tarkas** : 216/3444 : 6%

**Tracer** : 54/11206 : .5%

**Vivalostwages** : 320/2419 : 13%

**Wearia** : 53/704 : 8%  
I need a life.

Practicing religion, eh? When will we be good enough to actually go and _do_ religion?

[“The Outcast”](http://www.startrek.com/library/tng_episodes/episodes_tng_detail_68540.asp), from _ST:TNG_’s 5th season. Her name was Soren, from a race called the J’naii.

She wasn’t a hermaphrodite, she was androgynous. (Think of “It’s Pat!”.) Her planet had supposedly long ago purged itself of the notion of gender, and the J’naii all reproduce by sticking their reproductive organs into a big community husk.

Unfortunately for Soren, she gets the hots for Riker and comes out of the closet in the most thinly-disguised piece of gay rights activism ever to hit the _Star Trek_ universe.
