To call her acting wooden would be an insult to wood

I haven’t watched the show much, but I saw a commercial recently saying that the next episode of _Enterprise_ was going to be about a mysterious illness that threatened the crew, and that the one after that was going to be about a transporter accident that did weird things to someone. Wow. Where _do_ they get their far-out ideas from?

I beg to differ… after she ripped off the bottom of her dress and ended with the mini-skirt and had to sit adjacent to the camera, exposing her legs, Mrs. Prefect said, “Look, she is barely keeping a straight face.”

Since the actor didn’t burst out into laughter, or tears, she wasn’t all that bad… :rolleyes:

Enterprise: To half-heartedly go where we’ve gone lots of times before, and drag an addicted audience with us.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Enterprise will run into the Borg this season or next (if not cancelled).

But hey, I stopped watching after Season 2 started, so they may have **already** done it… 🙂

Who cares what any of you think? They’ve got Vulcan’s in skin tight clothes! They’ve broadened the demographic to horney frat boys and they’re going to make a mint!

No, wait. The frat boys just switched to the Playboy channel. Never mind.
