Man, i miss an episode, and suddenly it is a good one! Next Wednesday i have a final, then leave town the next day, so i don’;t know if i will be able to watch next weeks tape in time.
Gee, I hope I gave you some good ideas with the action figure links…
I liked the preview for next week’s. Archer has to decide whether to destroy the ship in order to defeat some intruders. I know that’s already been done, though (In two different movies!), so I hope there’s more to it than that.
I’ll bet he doesn’t.
carnivorousplant and NoClueBoy, you were both correct, though I think NCB was trying not to be. You can indeed use prepositions at the end of a sentence if it sounds better that way–not that it matters to you. 
(Old joke memory flash: A freshman at Princeton is lost on his first day there and asks an upperclassman, “Hey, man, can you tell me where the library is at?”
The upperclassman looks down his nose at the new fellow and says, “My good man, here at Princeton we do not end our sentences with prepositions.”
The young fellow replies, “Okay, then. Can you tell me where the library is at, a**hole?”)
Achernar: You’re right–Archer wouldn’t dream of blowing up his ship. It’s too important to him as a floating hotel where he can watch water polo videos, talk to his dog, chow down with his officers, and call them all by their first names like they’re at a party.
Honestly, he needs some kind of “real captain infusion” from Kirk or Picard’s DNA. OR else a plexidectomy-- a word from another thread which signifies a surgical procedure to insert a piece of plexiglass in the abdomen so that patients with their heads up their butts can see where they’re going.
Ha ha, that’s pretty funny. But I think you got him confused with Malcolm. Or T’Pol. 
No, really, Malcom is uptight but he has clarity. T’Pol is uptight in her own Vulcan way, but she’s pretty sharp. Archer needs to straighten out, period.
I’m with Kn**ckers…it was okay. Not the worst episode, might be the best in awhile. It is interesting watching Enterprise sashay along in mediocrity while something far above average (Firefly) is barely breathing.
BIG SIGH
it was definately travis’s big show tho…i think he had (counting…five, six, seven) about 8 words. i tell ya, they’re gonna have to make him second in command if he doesn’t quit stealing all the scenes!
Oh, what a stupid episode. As soon as you know that the episode features a haughty space princess, you know what’s going to happen. I think my biggest objections were:
You can’t show a man and a woman being thrown together in a difficult situation, in close quarters, without it resulting in their getting emotionally or sexually involved. You know, just like it would be in real life. And what would Trip find attractive about her sulky, imperious attitude, anyway? (Never mind that the space princess is a leggy, exotic supermodel type. We all know what a hot babe Princess Anne was.) What does that say about him?
I have no doubt that in the spacefaring universe of Enterprise, there are planets with royalty, and that members of royal families would be very isolated and be used to being waited on hand and foot. However, I would expect that even the most spoiled space princess would have a clue about how to be socially graceful and even resourceful in a dangerous situation. At the very least, she should know enough to shut up and let the techie guy explain their options, and thank him for his efforts, instead of insulting his background and insisting that he act as her all-purpose servant.
So dumb.
Plus Kirk used that gambit so much he had the auto-destruct on speed dial.
It would be nice not to have one derivitive episode this season.
:mad:
Hey!
Did somebody diss me and I didn’t notice?
Rats.
Well, it says he obeys his naughty baubles like the spineless servant he is. You know, the kind of servant that gets beaten and whipped by his master, and still begs for the priviledge of licking five-day-old horseshit from the soles of his master’s boots. And not even his GOOD boots. His third-string, shit-tromping boots, that he wouldn’t be caught dead wearing to a state dinner, and in fact, wouldn’t even admit to OWNING, if another noble ever broached the question. “Those boots?” the master would say, with fastidious disdain, “They’re certainly not mine. They must belong to one of the staff!” And there would be Trip, desperately licking them to a brilliant shine.
That’s what it says about him. Only, the show said it with less shitty boots and more face-sucking.
And yes, it was unbelievably cliche.
Love, Kn*ckers
Don’t mince words. Kn*ckers.
What do you really think?
Did anyone else notice how, when they first showed Princess Pain-in-the-butt, how she’d been placed in some sort of frozen stasis capsule for months and yet her makeup was intact?
Well, you don’t move around much in stasis.
Besides, she’s Princess for crying out loud.
Sheesh.
She was the First Monarch, not a mere Princess! Besides, I found her to be a lot less annoying than Ms. Fishlips. Oh, and so what else is new, Tracer? Most women on tv and in the movies go through all kinds of hell and come out with their makeup on perfectly? Can’t have you men seeing your fantasy women without their professionally done makeup – they might look too much like us ordinary women. Sheesh. (Did anyone notice that the Vulcans do breast implants and collagen injections?)
Speaking of alien beauty secrets, do Vulcans have green pimples?
So, they don’t just have pointy ears?
No, actually; it seems the people of Krios didn’t make much improvement in their statis-field technology between this episode and The Perfect Mate, the 4th-season TNG episode where Picard meets Famke Janssen, the metamorphic empath from Krios, which is Kaitama’s home planet.
Oh, and she said she’s ascendnig in 240-something days, which is about 8 months… who wants to bet that there’ll be an episode next season where the crew of Enterprise shows up for her ascension and she’s about… eight months pregnant?
Tripp: Captain, Ah neva…
T’Pol: It appears that Commander Tucker is unable to “keep it in his pants”.
