I watched my tape of the show the other night, while playing with our new kitten Spike (he came from the pound with that name, but seems like a Spike to us). Even Spike found the plot to be a simple rehash (again :mad: ) of a ST:TNG episode with the horrible Dallas ending tacked on. It even had a shower scene! :rolleyes: Spike gave up and played with a bit of string he found instead. There you have it, string is more interesting then Enterprise now. Next week on Enterprise-- Archer is kidnapped by the Borg, but is saved by his heretofore unknown identical Klingon twin brother (who in fact does sound like Mr. T). Hoshi loses her top again somehow. Merryweather stares at a blue screen with a blank expression on his face-- NEXT WEEK ON U. . . P. . . N !! šŸ˜‰ ---

When Hoshi was talking to Tā€™Pol in the mess hall I turned to my wife and said ā€œOwl Creek Bridge.ā€ I knew right then that it was a borrow from Ambrose Bierceā€™s story. And oddly enough, I enjoyed it more than I enjoy most episodes of Enterprise (or, as a friend of mine calls it: Star Trek Special Ed). Maybe that was because I felt smug about having figured it out. But to be fair Dark Angel did a much better rip off of Bierceā€™s plot at the end of their first season. Fifteen Iguana ---
