Trip trips. Archer sings, “Send in the clone!” Phlox says, “I’ve invented the screw top method of entry into the brain; and get that cat out of here!” Sim says, “Get your hands off me you damn dirty ape!” Archer says, “I’m sorry. I can’t let you do that, Dave.” Sim sings, “Goodnight, sweetheart.” Claire de Lune plays. ---

I enjoyed the episode, but I’m a nitpicker at heart. 1. Quantum says “If we aren’t out of the [rust cloud, or whatever it was called] in 6 hours, all of the systems will be overloaded/nonfunctional” Then after they gained some forward momentum, when he asks when they will clear the nebula, the reply is “6.1 hours” and he says “Good enough.” No, not good enough. Close, true. 2. They grow the SimTrip (which sounds like a Maxis game that puts you in control of a travel agency, but I digress), but it is doomed to die in 15 days. Their plan is to use the brain tissue from the SimTrip to fix up RealTrip. But won’t the issue deteriorate and ‘die’ in a week? I won’t go into the other science blunders already pointed out. Really good episode, though. Kudos. ---

Mayweather, “But it’s my only line!” ## Producer, “Security, put Mayweather in the brig. He’s already doubled his salary uttering that line.” **Psycho Pirate** , there’s more nitpicker’s here than tribbles at a toga party, so phaser yourself up a chair. 1. I don’t remember this. I thought Archer said it would be some days. So good catch. Anyone else hear this? 2. If the writer’s _had_ bothered to cover, they could have said that removing the tissue let’s it stabilize in the new host. Otherwise the simbiots wouldn’t be much use at home either. Oh, welcome, and don’t hog the board so much. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cervaise \* > \*\*I missed the episode over the weekend. My life will be tragically incomplete until the eventual rerun. \*\* That’s for sure. 😉 I’d lend you my back-up tape, but you’d have to promise to get it back to me right away, as it has other back-ups on it as well. Or wait till my brother returns his tape, which could take weeks and you’d probably see the rerun by then. ---

Thanks for the offer, but I’m happy waiting for the rerun. Since sweeps just ended, we’ll no doubt be seeing this episode again in rather short order. ---

They reran “The Xindi” already, so that leaves about eight or nine eps for reruns…but only six will be shown between early Dec. and mid Jan. We’ll see. Everyone: **Aesiron** asked that I inform you that he will be on an extended away mission and won’t be on the boards at all until further notice. That’s all. Signing off. ---

Star Trek Is COOL, I like the Whte Monkey with the Big Horn, and he is the Gutamo or Mutamgo or something. But he is White with a Big Horn! Was he in this episode? ---

Shouldn’t it be An Evil Monkey Lives In My Head? Although I suppose with the monkey up there and all one could be forgiven for grammatical confusion. P.S. You Username is really long. ---
