I don’t know but I’m wondering if she tricked the Xindi council by showing them Vulcan data.
[Koik] Boiman ain’t that, uh, you know, soittle. [/Koik]

Five-Minute Enterprise is a riot. “Oog oog. Oog! Bad Caveman Archer!”
Back to the episode…
Did anyone else think that it would end differently? I thought that, going along with the new, angrier, do whatever had to be done Archer, that during the firefight there would be a point where he would get a nice clear shot at Rajiin, hesitate for half a second believing that she was reluctant and her actions were forced, then you’d see his resolve firm as he shot and killed her.
I’m not sure if that would have been better or not. But I’m fairly sure that the odds of it happening would have been much better if she was a funny looking alien guy rather than a hot alien babe.
There was a brief moment where that thought passed through my mind. [Mmm… Brains!]
I foresee her reappearin late in the season to do something which helps the Humans.
MARK MY WORDS!
LUKE! OVER THERE!
JOHN US OR DIE!
Queer Eye for the Haggai.
Ah, they’re c. 1500 B.C.E. style “death rays,” Moses
What a Revelation.
[all this is because Linus is a Biblical name]
Hmmm, changing the promo words for the rerun? Is this some new thing?
I just checked the TV Times (L.A. Times insert) to tape tonight’s rerun since they run it at either 7 or 8, and the blurb for “Rajiin” says: “Girl gleans information for her Xindi overlords.”
That’s completely different from the one they ran last Wed. for the first-run; it said “Beautiful slave uses her mental powers on the crew.”
?
Glean
I lkie that word.
Very Biblical.
G l e a n
Most famously used in Shakespeare. King Claudius, in Hamlet, sends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern off to spend time with the melanchony prince and “glean what afflicts him.”
And we all know what happens to them. 
Perhams “gleaming” isn’t such a good idea…
“…and if you want somebody to glean on, you can glean on me…”
:rolleyes:
NCB: You “lkie” that word? 
Why not? The twilight does it very nicely in “The Star Spangled Banner” and gold and gemstones seem to do it very prettily.
Or perhaps I am not gleaning the entirety of your message…
Well, remember, this is the guy who spells Trip’s name with two p’s.
I think he’s got Linda Tripp on the brain. God knows why.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern gleaned, and they got whacked.
ah, they’re 1920s style “death Pakleds”
On further thought regarding an alternate ending, how about something like this (please keep in mind, I’m not a screenwriter):
During the firefight, Rajiin gets seperated from her “rescuers”. Archer catches up to her and stops her at gunpoint. Rajiin turns, and faces him calmly.
Rajiin: I’m not armed. Are you going to shoot me?
Archer: If I have to.
Rajin: I don’t want to do this, you know.
Archer: Neither do I.
Rajiin tenses and starts to jump for the nearest exit and Archer pulls the trigger just as the ship shakes from an explosion, throwing off his aim.
Yet, the very end, in the Xindi counsel is still the same. She still defends the humans because she knows that they are doing what they feel that they have to do.
It would also show that Archer is still a hard ass even when a hot babe is involved.
What do you think?
Lame. They did the same thing with Data in “The Most Toys” except it was with a transporter instead of a ship under fire.
Was that before, or was that after, the scene where Hamlet accidentally runs Polonius through with a phaser-cutting phaser?
