Did it air yet, **carn**? Well, I liked the dot matrix effect of the preview. I didn’t think they would actually kill a major character, tho. More later. ---

Well, ok… not major. But, at one point, T’Pol actually says, “I’d rather kiss a Wookie.” ---

She’s a descendant of her grandmother(?) who crash-landed in the 1950’s and gave us all velcro, remember? We in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex get our _Enterprise_ {Mayweather interjects, “That’s Start Trek: Enterprise!”} on Wednesday night at 7:00pm CST, usually with a repeat on Saturday at 9:00pm (though not this time, it’s Saturday/Sunday at 12M). ---

Hey, my new work comp is an XPer. It is also missing Microsoft Office, but who needs Excel sheets, anyway? And i gots to put a bunch of other junk on it as well to make it like the old one. but this one is twice as fast, with 4 times the memory and a legal operating system, for a change! ---

Night of the Green Living Dead. Magic asteroid gravity sucks. It would be nice to hold the shuttle down with a grapple and use cables to move around. It was an interesting plot device to have the marine guy survive. Thought he had a red shirt on. T’Pol should have spoken Vulcan to the green zombies. Subtitles. A decent episode, though. ---
