At Television Without Pity, Archer is always referred to as “Quantum.” Don’t stop, NCB! Keep it up! ---

> [@moriah](#): > > Fine. From now on, in all Star Wars threads, I’m going to call Mace Windu ‘Shaft.’ No, no, no. Jules. Otherwise, people may begin to believe that Richard Roundtree is, besides being the black private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks, a Jedi Master. ---

While searching for that, I read some old threads from the halcyon days of 2003. While still fun, Trek threads just aren’t what they used to be. I blame **Kn\*ckers**. ---

> [@spiralscratch](#): > > Richard Roundtree is, besides being the black private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks, a Jedi Master. But of course! The Jedi Mind Trick would come in mighty handy for convincing the chicks to go to bed with you in the first place. Then again, the Jedi Mind Trick is [a total sham, just like all the other Jedi “powers.”](http://home.netcom.com/~rogermw/force_skeptics.html) ---

The stories have gotten much better so rather than spending our time making fun of them, writing parodies and limericks, and riffing on life in general, we spend more time discussing the episodes. How dare they spoil our fun by producing quality television! ---

I don’t have a TV or VCR so I’m still stuck in mocking mode while all the rest of you bastards are actually discussing the episodes in question. So, again, I blame **Kn\*ckers**. And the rest of you too. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-spoilers-the-forge/275748.md?page=5)
