Same lyrics, better music.  
Ms. Plant says she will watch it again.  
I am happy.

Good:  
Archer kicks a guy in the teeth. Mostly decent alien looking aliens.  
Good story, obviously part of an arc.

Bad:  
Stupid panda scene with T’Pol and Trip. Breasts covered with her hands(!)  
Bad biology; Xindi reptiles and mammals “are more closely related than humans and chimpanzees”

Oh, has season 3 started? I can never figure out when the damn local UPN affiliate is starting a new season – shifting schedules and all… :::grumble:::

Wow. Summer’s over already? I didn’t think this was for another week or two.

I saw the still of the decon(?) scene with Trip and T’Pol in one of the other threads. Even as a hormonal 21 year old, that was just way too obvious. If we’re gonna get scenes like that, they might as well go all out and two episodes per script. The one we see on Wednesdays (or rather, the ones you guys see on Wednesdays and I see when viva mails me the tapes) and one to be released later as a Panda Boxed Set.

Last season, my UPN station showed on Wednesdays – hopefully they won’t change it this time – and hopefully the first episode will air THIS Wednesday…

[off to check the TV listings and see if they are any help]

I got it on Saturday from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM last season and will get in on Sunday from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM this season.

I’d quit watching if I were less of a Trekker but if I can make it through Voyager, I can make it through Enterprise.

**Aes** , I’m going to put just two or three eps on one tape (one that already has other stuff on it) so you won’t be so far behind. 'Kay?

It runs 8 to 9pm here on Wed. and reruns on Sun. night at 7pm or 8pm.

Sounds good to me. I’ll try to send you back that tape this weekend, by the way. I haven’t forgotten.

I predict…  
I

will

watch

it

tomorrow

And I won’t post any lies until after I discuss the ep. Probably in real time, too.

Quantum will online chat at [StarTrek.com](http://StarTrek.com) tomorrow evening. I may try to corrupt him to our ways.  
ciao

I feel split in two…No, three! Three names from one! There are four lights!

NCB, stop talking like Quantum! That’s Keckler’s job. 😃 I love her 12-page transcripts of each ep. at Television Without Pity.

Hey, if they actually let you chat with him please ask Quantum what the hell happened to the little lock of white hair he had since he was four years old and until recently. I think he should get it back; it could change him for the better. I’d ask, but I shall be out corrupting the youth.

Oooh, ask him how he feels about the Panda, and if it will increase in season 3.

Working tomorrow night, like usual. I’ll have to tape it and watch it later.

Hey, anyone notice anything unusual about this thread? Twelve posts and no real hijacks or fake plot points yet.

I’m gonna try to get through. I am registered. And a geek. Stay tuned. Don’t get cocky, kid!

Wouldn’t it be funny if he already knew about Panda?

Actually…, according to a very cool Doper I met, who doesn’t post in Trek threads, there is a fairly major TNG character who is a Doper. I promised not to tell who, not even to **viva**. Sorry. But, ain’t that cool?!

Ok… I all but gave up watching last season… I lost my statellite system and now have to wait till Wed to watch… but I’ll (I can’t believe I’m saying this) Give them another chance.

So long as I don’t pull a Homer and start banging my set demanding the show “Be more good” I will settle for being mildly entertained. Yest T’pols uniform is certainly nice but sheesh why not just have them introduce the starfleet mini instead.

Waiting for a season of Pandas and burst blood vessels.

Actually, it doesn’t appear to be a real time chat. [Here’s](http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/community/chat/archive/transcript/1250.html) a transcript of a previous “chat.” There is a link for to e-mail Qs to person to be “chatted.” :dubious:  
So, I e-mailed Quantum “chat” and asked about the possible alternate timeline (what with the Rommie Wars due to start), and the possibility of Panda. Yeah, I explained what is “Panda” and invited him to The Dope™ via the _Cease Fire_ thread.

We’ll see what happens…
