How much of this was played for humor?
I fear we are becoming the “T’Pol of Vulcan” show, as Voyager “The Seven of Nine Show” in it’s last season.
Is Jolene Blalock the girlfriend of a producer?
Generally a fair episode. AT least we aren’t getting worse.
^:)^
That’s your idea of spoilers? 
“That’s a nice singularity, T’Pol. It’d look much better if it were naked.”
I couldn’t believe Archer would stoop to such a cheesy pick-up line.
Well, they yell at me and stuff.
I’m just being a jerk and starting the thread 'cause I saw it before most of you.
Spoilers? OK, spoilers.
I think it was tasteless showing the thing with T’Pol and the dog. I know they have the disclaimer “no animals were injured during the filming of this episode”, but what about mental cruelty?
Killing off Meriweather was just a cheap shot at boosting ratings in competition with Firefly.
Claiming that T’Pol is Spock’s grandmother is ridiculous. How can she know that her grandchild will be named Spock?
carnivorousplant, you’re killing me! Slowly. By degrees. And I will continue to suffer for approximately another 21.5 hours.
I now found the Channel that airs it a day early. Thank you Bell Expressvu!
So how did Phlox survive the decompression?! I mean you can’t seriously believe that just because he sucked on the oversized alien eel badder he could survive the vacuum of space
Actually the episode was very remenicent of early episodes of two other Trek series. I figured the gravity had somthing to do with it like before.
of course I’m lying in the previous spoiler
D’oh!!! forgot to set the vcr!!!
Well, let me just post my spoilers now, before I see it and they get all ruined:
I was truly disappointed by the whole Archer/Trip/Hoshi love triangle. She should have known better than to get between those two. Did she really think that a little sweaty groping in the shuttle bay was going to win Trip’s heart away from Archer? Silly woman. And the decon chamber scene was extraneous and gross. Next time, can we NOT have a corpse in decon with them? I don’t mind pandering, but pandering to necrophiliacs can’t give your ratings that much of a boost.
Hey, carni: Some of us liked that Porthos scene! I thought it gave him an opportunity to flex his acting muscle… Wow, I can’t believe I just said that. It was dirty in so many ways.
I just hope they don’t do use the ‘reset’ button and have everything back to normal next week. It’d be more interesting to have Malcolm keep the extra eyes! I suppose they’d have to figure out how to get him out of the carbonite though.
Explain what happened please. This thread is Bizarre without context . . .
OK, first, back in time in 1967, Grace Slick puts some acid in the polmeck soup that the Vulcan guy who stayed ion earth a few episodes ago drinks.
Meanwhile, there’s that decon thing with Archer, Hoshi, Trip and the dog that I refuse to describe. I think we are supposed to assume that too, is a drug thing.
On the bridge, T’Pol announces that her grandson Spock will serve in Star Fleet. The scene is interrupted by Phlox chasing Porthos and his bat. The animals were frightened by ultrasound. Suliban are on board, invisible and communicating with ultrasound. Merriweather is killed when a Suliban carrying a ladder turns around quickly and knocks him up the side of the head a’la Three Stooges. Another reference to the Vulcans on earth episode?
Archer sets the ship to self destruct when Porthos drags a time traveling device from whats-his-name’s quarters and the reset button is pressed. Tripp spurns Hoshi’s advances this time, and leaving the decon chamber in anger she sees the Suliban boarding and saves the day. Merriweather is still dead, though.
Okay, and why is it called “Singularity”?
Yes, but then Porthos drinks Merryweather’s ashes, and Merryweather’s soul takes over Porthos. This allows us to have scenes of a dog driving Enterprise, which ups the cute factor in a bid to attract women and children to the demographics. Plus i think they are going to add a vampire slayer and a wise cracking old man
Achernar: THere is only one (a single) POrthos.
Well this sounds like the lousiest episode ever! No way am I watching it tonight! I sure am glad I read these spoilers.
And here I thought an answer would make things MORE clear . . .
Achernar, are you interested in owning any bridges?
Tars is exaggerating. Porthos does sit at the helm, but there’s none of that ashes stuff.
Unless it happened when I was in the bathroom…
I really liked that MacGuyver-esque sequence in the alien ship where Trip destroyed an entire alien species with a pack of UNO cards, some twine, a little bit of nutmeg, and T’Pol’s panties… When Archer said, “Logic has nothing to do it,” I almost transported to a parralel universe!
But, next week’s teaser bothered me. What would God need with a space ship? anyhoo…
Aww come on you know that ain’t God… The Gardeelian symbiot was clogging Archers ear. It was Rod… Rod Stewart in his first Star Trek Cameo.
But what was with Phlox’s new gross ability. I thought the toung thing was gross but I never EVER expected to see that thing show up on network TV !
