So that’s who Eric Clapton was singing about?
:smack:
I am your Spellchecker. I am your Grammarchecker. And I am keeping a close eye on you!
I liked Trip wailing on his harmonica at the beginning of the episode. Laying down some bitchin’ flok music. But did you catch him singing under his breath when he was working on the alien ice maker?
“You took away my loooove,
You took away my laaaaand,
You took me away to where I’m having an awfully hard time to staaaaand!”
He is one musical dude.
It was sad when the koala got sucked out the airlock then right into the engines. Too bad they didn’t have a grille over the intake. You never know what you’ll suck into your engines in space. Micrometeors, the stray hydrogen atom, dilithium triloxene, hapless koalas… But the panda was valient as heck trying to save the little guy. Too bad he was too late.
I thought Chef getting on the com’ and asking that the koala gets brought back in for a memorial dinner was a little tasteless. Trip seemed excited though. (“Woo boy! Roadkill surprise! Just like Mama used to make!”)
After the “tribunal” when T’Pol and Archer were in the hall:
T’Pol: Boy that was great! I haven’t had that much fun since I played Princess Yum Yum in the Mikadoat Uni.
Archer: You played Yum Yum? Me too!
I thought it was nice how they bonded over that. Now they have something to share next week when they get stuck in Decon and they run out of jelly.
-Rue.
“Flok music” of course is the traditional music of the Flok people on the planet Sauasagefinger. It’s like Earth “folk music”, only spacier.
Just so no one gets confused.
Oddly enough, I noticed that the closed caption read “farther”. I think we can blame the actress for this one.
Hm. I guess I’m alone in not so much liking this episode. Not that I hated it, I just felt it was sort of… blah. Not as unbearably STUPID as, say the Klingon Pyrophobia one. It was just so BOOOOORING. I looked at the clock at 8:45 and thought, DAMN, has it only been forty-five minutes? I feel like this episode has lasted for days! Also the Queen Lady pissed me off because she was so dumb and bitchy. I know she was SUPPPOSED to be dumb and bitchy, but I still found that irritating.
On the up side, any time I get to see Trip take his shirt off is pretty okay with me. And I was glad that there wasn’t so much T’Pol, because I don’t like her.
Travis and Malcolm were largely invisible, though, which makes me a little sad.
Kn(yaaaaaawn)ckers
Tripp says he lived in Florida in the Vulcans Eat Chicken episode.
Connor Trinneer says he is using an accent he heard relatives in Northern Arkansas, Southern Missouri speak with (speak in, viva?). I don’t reconize it as a dialect from AR, sounds Texan to me. Tars might take time from his action figures to comment on the MO aspect.
Tripp mentioned a city last night and I don’t remember the name. Did anyone catch it? He also mentioned being near the ocean.
Towel.
Ya’ll sure he wasn’t singing 'You can’t take the sky from me"?
Was it just me or was the ONLY point of this episode getting Trip laid?
Maybe she’s kn*cked up and it’ll come back to haunt him.
Swept Away in Space should have been the title. Unfortunately it is more like the Madonna version rather then the classic italian version.
Gee they ended up half clothed and making out. Who could have seen that coming. :rolleyes:
It is sad that our make believe versions are more fun then the real ones. I give it a 5 out of 10.
“Excuse me, while I kiss this guy…”
I am from the South, and we moved alot 'cause of Daddy be’n a petrochemical engineer (no trains). Trip sounds like me and everyother SwampBaby I’ve ever talked with. (Wrap yer grammar checker around that!).
From about Corpus Christie, TX through to the Florida panhandle, there are thousands of hectares of swamp. Some is swampier than others. (Cajuns actually live in the water, see their gills.)
The street which had the hospital where I was born sank back into the swamp long ago. Pumping oil out from under the salt dome is the explination I heard.
Further (heh, heh) south in Florida, the small town boys are really hard to understand. The rest sound like New Yarkers. I’ve heard it called the 5th Bourrough (spell it yourself, goddammit) or Longer Island.
So I think Trip is a moved around alot Swampbaby originally from America’s Wang.
Poor Kn*ckers, sounds like you need a massage.
VivaBabyBaby, bring it on, woman!
Carny, towell, towell, towell, towell, towell, towell, towell, ad infinitum…
Malcome Reed finally gets to shoot at someone and he misses!
Did he teach Worf how to shoot for TNG?
Made me laugh…
So Anyone else watch this an think Princess Vespa the Druish Princess?
I tuned in and out of this one so many times I had to admit to myself that I really didn’t care.
So now we have the cheeseball Trek remake of Swept away what is next Archer is lost on a plaqnet alone with nothing but a volleyball as a companion? Or perhaps The Enterprise crew are murdered one by one by an unstoppable killer in a mask?
Pheh
Oooooh! If it was hockey goalie mask…
kp, any luck on script submissions?
It’s a waterpolo ball. Very similar to a volleyball, but yellow. And this way Tom Hanks won’t get a royalty check.
Then I apologize for the spelling crack.
But it’s kiss the sky, dammit, kiss the sky.
I know, Rue…
I was picking on the posters posting about Trip’s song.
We all from the South have cooler things to think about than spelling and grammar…
Um,
not Rue.
Carnbarn…
I shoulda stayed in Texas, being in OKC is making me stooped, I mean stupid.
Shut up
Carnbarn?
If it had just been an episode with Trip and Kaitaama on the swamp planet, then it would have been a lot worse, but it wasn’t. That was only like the last quarter of the episode.
