Wait, do they ever have out-of-wedlock pregnancies on Star Trek? I mean, other than the ones that involve mysterious forces, and sneaky alien beings that manage to impregnate folks without ever shagging them… I can’t seem to think of any examples of this, but maybe someone else can. Otherwise, it would be a Crazy New Thinge for Enterprise to include such a controversial plot twist. ---

No, it was Wesley. There are warrants out for Dr. Pulaski on five federation solar systems. ---

I believe Worf was surprised when his Ex turned up with a kid in tow. There was an episode of TNG where Picard finds a man claiming to be his son (he wasn’t, but Picard admitted it was possible). Was anyone born in wedlock? Ok, the O’Brians. ---

well, Yoshi was born from Kira after a transplant. So i guess it was in wedlock, but not born in wedlock. Or something. (what, you want A-material when i’m sick? Ha!) ---

Naw, just a head cold. Standing in the rain waiting for the bus to get downtown to see Nemesis. Not good. Also 1/2 hour wait for bus again to get back home. My coat was still wet the next day at 6 pm. ---

Bumping this back into action again only because it’s on next week. Man, I can’t wait for April. Gad, the guest actress in this ep. was absolutely horrendous. But at least there was some drippin’ Trip action. ---

I’m only moving laterally, not on. “Vanishing Point” is not one of the eps I saved on tape for posterity. But will you/did you get to see it just so’s you can comment? ---

Arrggh, that’s right. If I’d known what was coming, I would have saved all the tapes, no matter what. Well, maybe it’ll show up in the summer. Just to 'jack the thread a bit: I wonder now if they’ll suddenly give Mayweather a ton of lines and screen time in April and May to make up for what they haven’t done for the past year. ?
