Hmmmm…I posted alot for having the internet down at work. I must be getting up in my sleep and posting. Makes me wonder what other threads i post in while sleepposting. I probably even give serious answers somewhere! 1920’s style Death Pakled: we search for things that make us dance the Charleston on a flagpole. 2nd 1920’s style Death Pakled: We are the Bee’s Knees. ---

The one that Q has set up to show Gertrude what her life will be like if she helps her brother-in-law kill her husband so she can marry him? Before. ---

And then Hamlet runs his hands over his uncle Claudius when pretending to hug him and finds out how he killed his father. Eeewww. Previews… “Impulse” looks pretty freaky. “Exiles” is supposed to have a lotta Hoshi, isn’t it? “Twilight” could be a real mind-bender. Don’t know the deal yet with “the Shipment.” “North Star” doesn’t sound all that bad now that I’ve read more about it at [www.startrek.com](http://www.startrek.com). Western, yeah, but it might be fun if they don’t get too **Blazing Saddles** about it. ---

I thought they poured a phaser-cutting phaser in his ear… ---

Hamlet, holding up small furry dead thing: “Alas, poor Tribble. I knew him, Horatio.” ---

“A fellow of infinite reproduction of most ticklish fancy. He hath borne himself throught my Jefferies tubes a thousand times”. “There are more things in heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy” “Yeah, then why do they keep rehashing old plots?” 🙂 “Impulse” looks like it might talk about how too much rigidity of logic is the cause of the psychosis since Vulcans seem to be the only ones affected. It would drive you nuts not to be able to accept something completely illogical (Mudd’s Women - Spock, “I am lying”). “Exiles” has a filler Com Officer. I guess for when Hoshi is with Tarquin. But if you’ve got this alien telepath, why couldn’t he just think to anyone else in the crew? Hopefully it will be because Hoshi’s linguistic skills give her the ability to understand - if the other crew members get “unintelligible communication” that would support the idea. “The Shipment” is marked as occurring before “Twilight”, according to [www.startrek.com](http://www.startrek.com), and it seems the Xindi-Sloth are so slow that “Sloth #1” doesn’t even appear in the Guest Character list. 🙂 I hope it’s not too slow an episode: Archer: “Where’s the weapon?” Sloth: “Weeeeellllllllll” … 45 minutes later … “Iiiiiiit’sssssssss” {Monty Python’s Flying Circussssss theme song}. “Twilight” just can’t be a “Dallas”-dream-sequence thing! But it could be nice if he goes through all this and at the end of the episode everything is back to normal with no recollection of the possible future - except for some affectation he picks up; like he picks up a coffee cup and thinks “That seems familiar” and its the coffee-cup-that-destroyed-the-Xindi-homeworld kinda thing. “North Star”. Why is it that when you take people from 19th-century America that they don’t evolved or develop cultural stereotypes different from American history? Even the clothes and the architecture will be the same, I’m sure. Maybe the episode is just something they _whipped out_. 🙂 “Maybe those 2220 Style Death Rays are those new phaser-cuttin’ phasers we’ve all heard tell about.” Walter Breena says, “Don’t get all consarned hot about that new high falutin’ stuff. Just gimme a good old Cray and a plasma forge and I’ll make ye up a phaser. I don’t cotton to no fancy phaser-cuttin’ phasers. Just sump’in more complex ta break down on ya,” and he mounts his horse-cuttin’ horse and rides off into the sunset. _Thanks for the emailing info **viva** _. ---

Okay, I noticed this when I first saw the episode last week, but it’s been picking at me ever since:[ul][li]At the end of the season premiere, they encounter a world that has been pulverized into an asteroid field. It’s been totally blown away.[/li] [li]In the next episode, they encounter a spherical space station so large that it looks like a small moon.[/li] [li]Early in this episode (“Rajiin”), when questioned about what they’re doing at a seedy trading outpost, they reply, “We’re on a diplomatic mission.”[/li] Later in this same episode, an enemy ship forcibly docks, blows open an airlock door, and enemy troopers storm in shooting.[/ul]I’m wondering when Darth Vader is going to make his appearance… ---
