Howie Long, Howie Mandel, Barbara Mandrel, Barbara Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach, Sebastian Cabot, Bastian [sub]Neverending Story[/sub], and then all those b@#@^! (you know, the hairdressers, telephone sanitizers, etc.) sent off in the other spaceship.
I thought Flint left with the dolphins saying, “So Long, and thanks for all the persecution.”
Talk about a dish served cold…
[Kahn] I stab my vacuumhart at thee… [/Khan]
[Mayweather] What was that thud on the hull? [/Mayweather]
[Porthos] Nothing, just a pop-culture-sicle. Set course for Risa. [/Porthos]
[Mayweather] You can’t be Sirius? [/Mayweather]
[Porthos] Yes. Yes, I am. Engage at ludicrous speed. [/Porthos]
Oh, man, you’re kidding me. Worse and worse. They might as well just throw the fucking thing down a hole.
I guess TiVo picks Angel first and hopes for the weekend repeat of Enterprise. No discussion of new shows until Monday, then, at least for me. Assuming I’m still watching.
Is this going to be yet another story where the attackers have our heroes on the ropes, but stop short of a death blow for no other reason than that the plot requires it? What possible justification could the Xindi have for letting a rogue human vessel run around their back yard? Every week, it seems like the Xindi knock down the humans, break their legs, and put a knife to their throats, and then stop and back off from certain victory for some inexplicable reason.
For example, in “Rajiin” (the one with the Magical Mystery Hooker), given all the fancy gear the Xindi commandos had, and the overwhelming effectiveness of their boarding operation, why didn’t they just drop off a simple thermonuclear bomb on their way out that they could remote-detonate once they were a few dozen kilometers away? Even if it doesn’t actually work, it’s a sensible tactical move that gives our crew something else they have to handle in order to survive (“Beam it out! Beam it out now!”). And this sounds like more of the same: “We win! We win! We… leave.” WTF?
And there’s more:
That being the infamously dull Crab-Legs-Head show.
Yeah, I’m stoked.
I hate to be such a nattering nabob, but, I mean, come on.
You stole my commentary, damn your hamsters! But, I would have added:
[Scott] Hey, I’ll go to my room, get a gun, and BAM, right between the eyes! [/Scott]
[Dr. Evil] You just … don’t get it, do you? [/Dr. Evil]
And in the Star Trek commentary on Stratagem it says “… which combines Archer’s acting skills …” Oh, no, they’re DOOMED
It just makes me want to join the Xindi and just get it over with just to keep from screaming sometimes.
I think Xindi is an acronym for Paramount eXecutives INDIgnant or INDIfferent or INDIctment. In the 29th century, the ancestors of the Paramount Executives, now destitute and INDIgent, plot revenge. Back in the 20th and 21st centuries the Star Trek franchise crushed Paramount. In an effort to reverse this they have decided to go back in time and destroy the franchise. Then… [sub]Predict the next poster: Tars Tarkas[/sub]
Future Guy is Braga’s great-[sup]n[/sup]-grandson. He’s having this dream that creates an alternate universe (the universe of Star Trek: Enterprise) that seeps into the dreams of his ancestor, Braga, in this universe. It’s like a cross between *Lathe of Heaven/i], Number of the Beast, and Dreamscape.
He and his producer friends are the Xindi-Reptiles. Future Guy had Braga kill Roddenberry shortly after Braga joined the franchise. Braga also tried to kill Captain Kirk (ref) and he’s been sabotaging things ever since. He has these paranoid delusions about this Enterprise out to get him, but he also knows deep down it keeps him alive so you get all these muddled situations where the Xindi can destroy the Enterprise but then don’t.
T’Pol represents his logical side and that’s why she isn’t a proper Vulcan - he’s not logical. Reed is his angry, sexually repressed side, Trip is his rural roots side, Mayweather is his feeling of obscurity, Phlox is his desire to tinker with everything, and Hoshi is his cross-dressing side. Porthos is his cheesy side and no one can figure out what side Archer is because he’s so one-dimensional.
