Hee! Ou wins! 65 to 13 over #11 Texas. Yes, OU is #1 for a reason. I bet the Sooners could’ve repelled the Xindi boarding party. ---

A D’deridex class Warbird would be big enough but that’d be like throwing a carrot down a hallway. ---

Finally got to see the taped episode. - I’ve always hated magic asteroid gravity, but they could easily explain it away - why not just let us know that their spacesuits are equiped with gravity boots? - When asked if there was another route to the airlock, T’Pol says “no”. A few minutes later, they show locked doors around the airlock including two seperate entrances. - At no point does Phlox state or even imply that Trellium-D is radioactive. He just says that it’s a “neurotoxin” for vulcans. Yeah, and mercury is toxic to humans but we use it in thermomiters because _we don’t actually touch it_. This is one of the dumbest dillemas yet. - **Cervaise** , not only was the dream stupid and manipulative, it was incredibly obvious it was a dream to anyone who had ever seen a horror movie at any time in their life. Eh. This episode was mediocre at best. ---

Is the dilema that T’Pol would be constantly exposed to it, or exposed while it was being applied? ---

Nasty little Vulcanses. Wring their little necks! Stab their eyes out! ---

Saw the episode today. Eh. Didn’t care for it at all. The coolest part came forty or so minutes after the show went off, on Jake 2.0. There was a plane that was integral to the storyline and its registry code was NX 74205, which is the Defiant’s call number. Obscure Trek references! ---

Was that the Jake and the Supernerds Jake 2.0? ---

Yeah. That episode. The abort code was NCC18646309 which looks like another registry code but it’s three numbers too long. ---

if you add 1864 and 6309 you get 6173 also add 1-8, 6-4, 6-3, 0-9 you get 9 10 9 9 This becomes 37, which downs into 10, which downs into 1. This is proof that there can be only 1. ---
