One of my favorite lines is O’Brien’s “I hate temporal mechanics,” especially when he says it twice at the same time. 🙂

Or this one from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Austin: So, Basil, if I travel back to 1969 and I was frozen in 1967, I could go look at my frozen self. But, if I’m still frozen in 1967, how could I have been unthawed in the 90’s and traveled back to the Sixties?  
[goes cross-eyed]  
Austin: Oh, no, I’ve gone cross-eyed.  
Basil: I suggest you don’t worry about those things and just enjoy yourself.  
[to camera]  
Basil: And, you too.

Maybe everything since **First Contact** has been occuring in a pocket universe that will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds starting… NOW!

Ah! Crewman Daniels is Canadian! It’s all clear to me now.

My prediction as to how they maintain continuity in light of a Borg presence in this episode:

Kn\*ckers.

They came here in First Contact. Do you go to the movies?

BTW the Great Link

[http://www.greatlink.org/dcisV2.asp?url=surface.asp](http://www.greatlink.org/dcisV2.asp?url=surface.asp)

Has a spoiler about Archer:

“…Berman and Braga reveal that Bakula’s Archer will become a more confident commander, shedding some of his tenderfoot qualities revealed in the first two seasons”

And  
“changes for T’Pol’s cat suit and hairdo”

What, she’ll go naked? Lets hope it’s uniform.

Ah, but beware of the Whirring Clunking Anti-Defamation League, or they’ll be all over you for electronic libel.

Onto tonight’s ep, I must know:

Does Porthos get assimilated along with his cheese?

Does Chef serve up Tribble Cutlets at Phlox’s request?

Does Archer qualify as a sentient being, or does the Quality Control Borg reject him on the grounds that he will add nothing to their collective and would instead diminish it?

I am not looking forward to tonight. I’m halfway between **Aesiron** and **Kn\*ckers** on this: I think Braga’s interest in time-travel stories is inversely correlated to his talent in finding something to do with an overdone sci-fi gimmick, and I also think Trek long ago scraped the bottom out of the barrel of Borg storylines. At this point, I’m looking forward to the season finale, which according to that TV Guide article will introduce a radical new direction and hopefully infuse the show with some needed energy. Of course, it could just turn into “Space: Above and Beyond,” but, well, I’ll give it a shot.

She burns herself to death in a radiation chamber?

LOL.  
Check the link I posted above. Archer becomes somewhat less of a weeny tonight.  
T’Pol wants to kill the bad guys instead of trying to rescue them, as Spock decided about the Horta in _Devil In The Dark_ when he realized it was protecting young.

Addition of tail and cat ears headband, and hair cut to resemble catwoman. T’Pol will also obsess over Billionare Playboy Ensign Bruce T’Wayne, the new Vulcan officer, and call him Purrrrrr-fectly Logical.

I hate you, Tars.

You’re ugly and your Mother dresses you funny.  
Besides, you forgot the box of sand on the bridge.

Posting is irrevelant.

Hijacking is irrevelant.

Your technology is inadequate.

You will ass-imulated (especially T’Pol)

Lubrication is irrelevant.
