Hey, baby, this is why the call me “Phlox”!
OOOOOOOOOooooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhhAAAAHHH!!! Mama likes!!
I find it mildly amusing that we have to make “Enterprise” more entertaining than it is by pre-creating our own stories. I mean, we’re not spending any time talking about how, on “Firefly,” Captain Reynolds will order Kaylee to get naked and oily and strap herself spread-eagled to the engine like she’s on a spit, right?
ooh yeah! replace kaylee in that idea with River and I’m gonna explode right hear in my office chair!
btw, any news on FOX keeping FF? i haven’t been keeping up last coupladays
here
not hear
He does? Damn, I want to see that one!
NoClue: Two more episodes have been ordered. I can’t find the link, darn it.
cool. waiting with bated breath
Well, I do have to admit that the history behind the show has been quite interesting. Who here knew that the female ensign who bled out tonight while having her period would be Star Trek’s first red shirt death?
Who knew that the reason everyone on every planet’s lifeforms speak English is because the sensors on Enterprise have been faulty and they keep landing in Utah?
I’ll tell you that it was as much a shock to me as it probably was to all of you to learn that Vulcans were really Michael Jackson’s offspring, with the facial mutations having been encoded in the DNA.
These episodes provide a wealth of backstory to the whole franchinse and I, for one, admire the writers for their courage in creating a universe that in depth.
Where the hell is the koala? They could have done so much with him…
I think Phlox stuffed him in his pouch
It’s Mayweather…though, come to think of it, Meriweather probably would have been a better choice since it slips off the tongue more easily…No, no tongue jokes! No, I say! There’s more than enough tonguing in this episode already!
I thought it was Merri like Merridock from Lord Of The Rings. Has anyone noticed that Porthos has furry feet like a Hobbit? Malcolm and Trip act like Merri and Pippin? Archer starts with an “A” like Aaragorn? The bad guys are Suliban, like Sauron, Saruman and Sam? T’Pol has a “P” like Pippin? Not only that, but Phlox resembles Gandalf save for the beard, hat, robe and staff.
I think I’m onto something here…
If Gandalf had Enterprise he wouldn’t have been killed by the Balroq!
“Polarize the hull plating, you fools!”
You! Shall! Not! Materialize!
One Klingon to rule them all…
One thingiefromcrewmanDanielsquarters to rule them all,
one thingiefromcrewmanDanielsquarters to find them,
one thingiefromcrewmanDanielsquarters to bring them all,
and in the darkness bind them.
Now let us cry " A plague on the stiff necks of Vulcans!"
Ferenghi are an unattractive but annoying people whose numbers have decreased rather precipitously since the bottom fell out of the fairy tale market. Slow and sullen, yet dull, they prefer to lead simple lives of pastoral squalor. They don’t like machines more complicated than a garrote, a blackjack or a luger and they have always been shy of the “Big Folk” or “Buggers” as they call us.
As a rule they now avoid us, except on rare occasions when a hundred or so will get togehter and dry gulch a lone farmer or hu8nter. They are a little people, smaller than Andorians, who consider them puny, sly and inscrutable and often refer to them as the “Ferenghi Peril”.
Interesting, Hoomahn…
Would the Metrons be Vala?
Middle Enterprise?
T’Pol’s breasts are the “Two Towers?”
Well, real stuff now:
Poor Porthos! finally gets a speaking part, and all he says is, “Arf, rowf!”
Some pluses in this ep.:
we find out Chef is a man. or, at least male of whatever species he is.
we see more than one extra crew member. and with a speaking part! wow!
Malcom’s obsession with security / battle protocol is cool. Enterprise needs that. (Archer: “This isn’t a warship.” Malcom: “That’s obvious.”)
Trip says “ass.”
Everyone has a fairly signifcant part.
Hoshi’s full frontal nudity, without hands blocking the good bits.
Minuses:
Must every Trek series have an “everyone’s acting weird” episode?
5 millions kilometers from a black hole? Damn! That’s close! In a trinary system the x-rays and other ultra high energies would be lethal! They aint’s gots proper shields yet. Still polarising the hull plating.
It affected Phlox but not the Vulcan?
All those negative vibes, man…
Still, a decent episode. Not spectacular (like the terrorists are) but several decent eps in a row will help much.
“Captain, our sensors have detected a Silmaril…”
