Well, normally Slave Babe Leia and Pimp Lando fight Klingons and Riker, with Robocop and Optimus Prime being held prisoner in Skeletor’s dungeon. But some older boys beat me up and stole Robocop, so now that whole story arc is ruined… ---

The koala and the panda are caught inflagro dilecti by Captain Archer who remarks to T’Pol, “I’ll be in my bunk” and hurries away to his ready room. ---

[spoiler]Sept 12th, 2152. Did anyone else catch that? Well, I liked better than the last few, but something about it bothered me. Oh yeah, The princess! Too bad they didn’t have 90 minutes to play with. Could’ve built up the tension a little more. Then, when she kisses Han, I mean Trip, it would be more of a release. Bet she likes it human style. 😃 Best show of the last six. Maybe the Dark Side we’ve been hoping for is working it’s way in, no? Seems like they took two things from _Firefly_. The airlock thingy and the hostage cargo.[/spoiler] ---

I would have prefered offing the bad guy, but it was a godd episode. I particualarly enjoyed Archer’s line, “Is this a bad time?” ---

Any episode that features a whole lot of Trip (especially in his underwear) and very little of Archer and fishlips is a good episode. A nit: I did wonder why Trip needed the universal translator for the First Monarch, but not for the bad guys. ---

Dammit Sycorax, now I won’t sleep a wink tonight. Maybe they had their own xlator on their ship that was based on their language so it wouldn’t work between Tripp and Princess tight ass. ---

Princess Tight Ass. They didn’t show enough of it. I would like to see some out takes of the swamp wresling scene. I’m going to have to go back and rerate the other eps down. Cause this was worthy of 5th season TNG. ---

Yeah, I thought this was a great episode! I especially liked the landing sequence. Much better than Luke’s landing on Dagobah. Yeah, the princess was a ripoff of Leia, and about a million other stories, but they still did it well. 🙂 ---

If they had shown 45 minutes’ worth of Trip and Kaitama together, it wouldn’t have been as good. It would have turned into a **Cast Away** meets **Girl Friday** or some such thing. They would have found a lot more to do with the Panda that way, see? As it stands, they only had her rip off the long part of her dress and have Trip reach over her rear to find the thrusters (oh, stop it already!) 😃 So…they got some. Right? I think Kaitama is one of Elaan’s ancestors. So, is Trip from Alabama? Louisiana? Am I getting close? I liked his harmonica bit at the beginning; that’s what I want to see more of–what everybody does in their off-hours. One grammar nitpick: Kaitama asks, "How much **further?"** It’s **farther**! Farther, I tell you! Farther is for distance! Further is for abstract things, like, “I will not discuss this any further.” (This particular error occurs constantly.)
