Well, “Exile” should appear during March or April reruns if they follow the schedule.

I SAVED the thing on my hard drive, in a file called “Aes.” Do you not feel honored?

I do, but it’s still not the same.

Would you have emailed me for it if I hadn’t IMed you? No? See? 😛

It’s good to see Archer having some semblance of emotions over something. I don’t know why he’s been so moody. He’s just been carrying the fate of his entire planet and race on his shoulders.

When he switched his phaser to “cut”, ran under the stairs, and phasered the beams - how did he know the proper intensity for the beam? If it was just a touch too much he would have cut through the balcony and injured the man’s … pride.

Archer, there’s no need to feel down.  
I said, Archer, pick yourself off the ground.  
I said, Archer, they’ll just melt the Earth down.  
There’s no need to be unhappy.

Tucker, there’s a place to relax.  
I said, Tucker, when you’re stressed to the max.  
You can lie there, and I’m sure you will find  
Neuro-pressure is a good time.

It’s fun to fly through the S-T-A-Rs.  
It’s fun to be a good T-R-E-Ker.

They have everything for you geeks to enjoy,  
You can hang out with all the boys …

It’s fun to fly through the S-T-A-Rs.  
It’s fun to be a good T-R-E-Ker.

You cannot be weaned, you discuss it as real,  
Only other trekkers know how you feel …

T’Pol, are you listening to me?  
I said, T’Pol, what do you want to be?  
I said, Vulcan or bad human facsimile?  
But you got to know this one thing!

Archer does it all by himself.  
I said, Archer, put your pride on the shelf,  
And just kill them, yes the X-ndi.  
Or I’m sure a lot more will die.

It’s fun to fly through the S-T-A-Rs.  
It’s fun to be a good T-R-E-Ker.

You cannot be weaned, you discuss it as real,  
Only other trekkers know how you feel …

It’s fun to fly through the S-T-A-Rs.

Malcolm, I was once in your shoes.  
I said, I was down and out with Andorians.  
I felt the MACOs’ were out to get me.  
I really wanted more of shirtless Hoshi …

That’s when, Phlox he came up to me,  
And said, Mayweather, take a walk to sick bay.  
There’s a lobotomy, no it won’t hurt a bit.  
Then you’ll be happy as you just sit.

It’s fun to fly through the S-T-A-Rs.  
It’s fun to be a good T-R-E-Ker.

They have everything for you geeks to enjoy,  
You can hang out with all the boys …

T-R-E-K … you’ll find it all in T-R-E-K.

Archer, Archer, there’s no need to feel dread.  
One wrong step and the human race is dead.

T-R-E-K … you’ll find it all in T-R-E-K.

Young geek, young geek, there’s no way they’ll have  
Phlox, Hoshi, Trip, and T’Pol in a four-way menage.

T-R-E-K … just go to T-R-E-K.

Enterprise the Series are you listening to me?  
Enterprise the Series what do you wanna be?

… but my time is fin’lly near.  
And I will see my dream come alive at last,  
I will touch the sky-y-y,  
And they’re not gonna hold me down no more,  
No they’re not gonna change my mind!  
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

'Cause I’s gots space

Of the garts

And I can’t call anyone

[mis-heard lyrics]

I was at Home Depot this morning, waiting for the 7:15 home from Sheboigan, when I realised that the ENT theme (the rerocked current version) was being played on their piped in music. And… my new cell phone looks like a communicator. And… I was wearing my Spock ears.

It’s been a long road  
Getting from there to here  
It’s been a long time  
But my time is finally near

And I can feel the change in the wind right now  
Nothings in my way  
And they’re not gonna stay within no more  
No there not gonna hold me down

But I’ve got hate of the farts  
I’m going where my bowels will take me  
I’ve gonna hate to relieve  
I can dump everything  
I’ve got inflamed hemoroids  
And now I’m gonna bend and break my wind  
I hope I can reach the toilet paper  
I’ve got hate  
I’ve got hate  
Hate of the farts

It’s been a long night  
Trying to find my way  
Been through the darkness  
Now I finally have my day  
I will see my stream come alive at last  
I will crouch and try  
And they’re not gonna hold me down no more  
No there not gonna cramp my bowels

But I’ve got hate of the farts  
I’m going where my farts will take me  
I’ve really hate to relieve  
Cause it hurts to dump everything  
I’ve got inflamed hemoroids  
And now I’m gonna bend and break my wind  
I hope I can reach the toilet paper  
I’ve got hate  
Hate of the farts

I’ve known a wind so foul and seen the darkest days  
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change  
I’ve been through the fire and I’ve been through the strain  
But I’ll be fine

But I’ve got hate of the farts  
I’m going where my farts will take me  
I’ve really hate to relieve  
Cause it hurts to dump everything  
I’ve got inflamed hemoroids  
And now I’m gonna bend and break my wind  
I hope I can reach the toilet paper  
I’ve got hate  
Hate of the farts

Hate of the farts  
I’m going where my bowels will take me  
I’ve really hate to relieve  
And now I’m gonna bend and break my wind  
I hope I can reach the toilet paper  
I’ve got hate  
I’ve got hate  
Hate of the farts

_Apologies to Rod Stewart_

_NB: I hope y’all don’t think I’m trying to upstage anyone. I was just inspired by NoClueBoy’s ode to “In the Navy”._ 🙂

I’d ask you to fax that little ditty, with a dedication, to Les Moonves…but then I’d be afraid that you’d really do it.

I thought it was an enjoyable episode. I like westerns so that wasn’t a problem for me.

I recognized the buy who played the sherrif as the loyal, taciturn Secret Service agent that helped out President Palmer last season in _24_. He looks different with longer, darker hair and a moustache.

I also thought that the girl who played the schoolmarm was rather plain. I mean, she’s attractive enough but not at all pretty. But I see that some of you guys find her to be a major hottie. Isn’t that strange how different people’s tastes are. But that’s a _good_ thing!

I didn’t find her that attractive but I do generally go for the plain, cute type as opposed to the oversexed ones. That is why I love Hoshi and Ezri but not Seven and T’Pol.

Cute \> Hot anyday.
