And then next week the Klingons beamed down in the middle of the night and spent the next month or so torturing, raping, and pillaging. OK. “A Night in Sickbay” blew chunks. This sorry excuse for an episode blew chunks. The only consolation is we’re getting some good Cafe Society threads out of these sorry excuses for episodes! Thank Og for _Firefly_! And _24_ has premiered! > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hail Ants \* > In that situation that meant killing them! At least one of them! It was total commie-pinko, political correctness. That’s an insult to good Marxist-Lenininsts everywhere. I mean, the Commies _never_ had any problems with killing people. ---

With this level of lovey-doveyness i am surprised that Archer, Tucker, and Reed haven’t gone on one of those man retreats where they go in the forest and bang drums. ---

And Archer says, “I’ve always known; When my time comes, I die alone.” and starts in on the first verse of “Row row row your boat.” ---

Why can’t trek ever have good fight choreographers? The original had the Kirk Punch[sup]TM[/sup], which was at least amusing. All we had here was T’Pol teaching the miners the ancient Vulcan martial art of Fire Safety. Stop, drop, and roll. ---

Yeesh, i wondered what that stink from my tape was. This episode reeked! Ignoring the total rip off from Blazing Saddles, and the slapstick fight with the Klingons by the idiot townspeople (i’ll throw a rock at you, then use my Vulcan Ninja skillz!!), Why didnt they just rip off the Three Amigos? Who wouldn’t want to see the town whip up 100 Enterprise uniforms and confuse the Klingons. Then Archer can refuse the deuterium: Archer:“Our only reward is that justice has been done!” T’Pol: “Uh, Captain, we still need deuterium…” Little Boy: “Can i have your watch when you are dead?” Trip: “Here is my watch, for my career is!” Pee Wee Klingon: “The secret word is ‘career’!” Everyone: “YAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!” Chairy: “See you next week, kids!” ---

It sucks so much, I’m not even gonna watch it again. I’m only taping it so Aes can share the pain. Still can’t believe he missed the whole first season and the first half of the second. ---

I just watched the Enterprise Deuterium/Klingon debacle. Okay, three things: 1. That Trip guy is just gonna hand out his ship’s _schematics_, fer chrissakes? 2. Would it have been such a stretch to have the leader of the colony act with some kind of semblance of realism and maybe shoot one of the K-Men in the ring of fire, possibly “Pee Wee?” 3. How does one obtain the scripted name of the episode? The only way I know is by coming here. Filthy smartypants. \ ---

Is it like “Spock’s Brain” or more along the lines of “Shades of Grey”? Oh, and I saw the first three or four episodes of the first season but then UPN stopped showing here. It took me a good year and a half to realize that CBS was showing it instead. I am so smart, I am so smart… S M R T! S M R T! ---

Poor **Homersiron**. 😉 I don’t recall “Shades of Gray.” It’s more like “We’re skeered of a widdle ring of fire!” Your tape goes in the mail tomorrow. ---

“Shades of Grey” was TNG’s second season finale wherein Riker gets bit by one of **cplant** ’s cousins and goes into a coma. To undo the damage, Pulaski makes him remember crap for some technobabbley reason or another and he starts remembering stuff, lots of which he wasn’t even a participant in. Thankfully, it was the first and last flashback episode of Trek ever.
