Blah blah blah  
Pretty slow start after that last ep.

At least they have blinking lights on Romulan stuff.

Shrann is one tough mofo.

I really wish they wouldn’t do those idiotic 5 second previews of what the damn show I’m already watching is going to have!

The promos after the show are highlighting that these are the last eps for ENT.

Bonk bonk. On the head.  
This ep: Weak. Should’ve finished it last week instead of using the show as yet another soapbox for antiwar political leanings. Just give me my fucking Sci-Fi and let me make my own life descisions, okay?

Looks like we _don’t_ care after all. Question is, is it because we know we’re on borrowed time or is it just a huge coincidence?

Only eight more episodes and no more Trek for at least a couple years. That seems so weird.

Would he be First Officer? Cool.

Nice scenes with Shran and the girl.

Does anyone have the link to the, er, Blessed Event?

Jeffrey Combs just rocks. He’s been great in every ep he’s ever been in.

OK, crap, let’s see if I can do this…

There is a pic somewheres of a pointed eared baby and a discussion of an Enterprise episode in which Trip and T’Pol’s baby is kidnapped. Spocknapped. Whatever. Mrs. Plant is REALLY pissed and whats to see it.

Thank you.  
Thank you ver’ much.

I haven’t read anything here yet beyond the OP.

Welll…We ENT geeks are trying to get the Sci fi channel to pick up the show. I’d have to break down and get cable then, or pay my brother to tape it.

Geeking over. For now.

Back later to discuss the Albinoaenar.

Seems like Shran got over whatshername rather quickly.

Well, hell. I can’t find a pic. And I even searched on some shipper sites. [shudder]

There was some very… interseting… artwork in some of them.

It was good. I missed last week, but I liked it.

They picked the wrong captain. It should have been Jeffry Combs instead of Quantum Whatsisass.

Should’ve aired by now on the Left Coast. Where is everybody?

Of course, our Aleutian Islands Dopers haven’t seen it yet.  
**vib** , you are so right

I’m desperately trying to keep watching this show. I missed last week’s episode, and I was actually watching tv between 8:00pm and 9:00pm and was aware it was on. I thought, “screw it, I’m not in the mood. I’ll catch it Sunday between plays and halftime of the Superbowl.” Then Sunday came and I just didn’t care enough about ENT to flip away from the Superbowl _commercials_, which were particularly lame this year.

This week I sat down and watched about 20 minutes until I got so bored I went to the computer, which is in a different room, to check my email and surf the net. I did tape the rest of the episode, and I’m sure I’ll watch it, but it’s a struggle.

I find that I’m carrying residual bitterness about the plotlines that annoyed me. T’Pol’s emotional instability bothered me to no end, and since there’s no panda this season, I almost can’t stomach her scenes at all.

Why are the founding races of the Federation races we’ve never heard of before? It’s really starting to piss me off.
