Well, I’ve got a DNFTT floppy hat that I won on these boards.
A Native American tribe got half of my latinum today, but Mom got some of theirs. 
You mean, except for ENT’s “Stigma” ?
This isyour life, son. And I’m impressed.

Er, okay, let me rephrase my statement:
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 that didn’t throw an AIDS parallel into the picture ever to hit the Star Trek universe.
I always hate that I come late to these parties. Unfortunately, I work wednesday nights, so I have to record and watch later. Sometimes (like this week), it’s worse. Our local UPN affiliate also pre-empts Enterprise for Suns games, so I can’t watch or record until the repeat.
As for Horizon, I am not sure why people are worried about T’Pol eating with her fingers. It’s not as if they made it a big plot point in a previous episode or something… oh, wait. They did. Sigh. Even worse, if they had picked up on it, it could have been a cute moment. Just imagine:
Archer hold up the bowl of popcorn for T’Pol. T’Pol looks at it, then gives Archer her pattented “you stupid, ignorant human” look. Archer then gives her a grin, then holds up a fork which T’pol takes and uses to munch the popcorn. At least I think it would have been a cute moment, and not a slightly painful “let’s make obvious, awkward references to past shows/future ships” moment. YMMV.
You are correct about “The Stigma” and “The Outcast” and the thinly disguised messages; but I think that both of them, painful as they were in their obviousness, have to be runners up in the painfully obvious message category to the TOS eppisode with the half black - half white aliens. I forget the name off the top of my head (geek race!). Maybe one of these days they’ll just name an episode “The Moral” and have a little truth in naming.
Ah. So that’s what the big hullabaloo was about with her eating with her fingers. I was wondering why everyone was commenting on it but wasn’t going to ask and look like a NoClueBoy.
I really, really wanted to see this episode. Damn leukemia!
I thought it had something to do with chastising Phlox; part of socila interaction, or whatever Archer called it.
That fork thing WOULD be cute, Linus. I only wish the writers had the cleverness to think of something like that.
Silly buggers.
You mean you don’t remember? C’mon! It was titled “Let This Be Your Last Battlefield” and starred Frank “Riddler” Gorshin. I mean, duh.
Threads that go bump in the (summer) night.
I saw “Let That be Your Last Battlefield” a week or two ago. Kirk was really laying into the dude that stole the shuttle. He must’ve been PMSing.
Nah, Shatner was just able to remember his lines.
Either that, or the shuttle thief had used a phaser-cutting phaser.
[musical sting]
Would need a bicycle chain cutting phaser, would he not?
Summer nights… hmmm.
Song time!
Summer threadin’ - rehashing the past
Star Trek Dopers, havin’ a blast
Found a show we wanted to see
But the plots were as lame as can be
Summer days, drifting away
While we hope they can get it right
(Well-a well-a well-a uh)
Tell me more tell me more
Will the Panda still star?
Will T’Pol be a whore
Who’s in constant Pon Farr
The producers got a brain cramp
Found out risk makes their palms damp
Though a good premise was found
They took it and ran it aground
Alien suns could be such fun
If they would just get it right
(Well-a well-a well-a uh)
Tell me more tell me more
Should I watch it tonight?
Will Malcolm try to score?
Will he get in a fight?
Through the boring speaches we stayed
Looking for the gems they have made
Archer acted dumb as a rock
'Til his actions we had to mock
To hope we’ll cling that they’ll get in the swing
And get the series right
(Woh woh woh)
Tell me more tell me more
Will the stories still drag?
Will they use Daniels’ door
When the plot hits a snag?
We got friendly, our little band
As the dumber plotlines we panned
We got silly and in between
Talked about the good bits we had seen
It’s a treat when story threads meet
And the scenes have an edge or some bite
(Woh woh woh)
Tell me more tell me more
Is the show on the mend?
Will it last five years more?
Will they tie up loose ends?
Through the cosmos Enterprise wends
As established canon it bends
We wonder where they’ll take it now
And if they can save it somehow
Trekers dream the next season will gleam
The hope of those suummer niiiights
With apologies to Simon and Garfunkle…
*Slow down, you move too fast
You’ve got to make the series last
The Panda’s in the Decon room
Rubbin’ Tripp and feelin’ Hoshi
Da da da da dah, feelin’ Hoshi
Hey Suliban, what’s your rush
T’Pol has got a lovely tush
I know this ain’t no cable TV
I just wanna see a naked Hoshi
Da da da da dah, naked Hoshi
No continuity in the way
Daniel’s in the shuttle bay
Captain Archer might be gay
And everyone is feelin’ Hoshi

What? Why on Earth would you put a bicycle clain on a shuttle? What a ridiculous idea for a security device!
Everyone knows you have to put a shuttle chain on a shuttle. Duh!
(As a side issue: How many shuttle chains could a phaser-cutting phaser cut if a phaser-cutting phaser could cut shuttle chains?)
Fine tracer, rub it in.
Some of us can’t afford shuttle chains. Did you ever try and buy one at the Mall? They just laugh.
Wait till you try to buy a shuttle chain-cutting phaser.
Not only do they laugh, they laugh and then they have a burly security guard escord you off the premises.
