Checked out my tape last night. Ahh…Hoshi!! We need a topless Hoshi spin-off! I hope we don’t have time travel disasters each week, all being cured by someone pulling a Deus Ex Machina device out of Daniels’ quarters. ---

Next week on \*\* Tars’s \*\* Enterprise Cliche Extravaganza: Hoshi loses her shirt again. Hoshi: Oh, no! I’ve lost my shirt! Malcomb: \* (letting himself into Crewman Daniels’s quarters) \* Here, take this one. It’s all plasticky and futuristic, but it’s about your size!.. Oooh, candy.

Looks like they locked up my early attempted Thread on this episode. Next time, I’ll wait a bit longer and look for you ( **carnivorousplant** or **Tars Tarkas** ), since you are generally the ones who start it. ---

Don’t forget Archer droning on and on about how someday man will be all over space like ugly on a Ape, but then the Damn Dirty Ape Defense Council teams up with Evil Vulcan from Alien Nation and they try to get Archer ousted again. ---

Archer is really gonna be pissed when he discovers that his part in the founding of the Federation is being eaten alive by starving Telerite orphans. The Pig-Guys are so impressed with the selflessness of humans (Archer is/will be/whatever passed out) that with Terra they become founding members of the Federation. No wonder Daniels was reluctant to spill the legumes. ---

But really, can you blame them? After listening to Archer’s argument (“Humans are like a new-born gazelle…”), I was ready to have him ousted, too. Scott, Scott, I know you can do better than that. ---

> [@](#): > > **So Hoshi is claustraphobic and yet has no quams travelling around in a completely sealed environment? Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t part of clautrophobia a fear of enclosed spaces, not small spaces.** I don’t know about Hoshi, but my kind of claustrophobia is just like what she displayed. I have no trouble in a reasonably large enclosed space (dorm room, bathroom, elevator) as long as I have enough space to extend my arms. Anything without that immediate space, however (air duct, closet, cave passage) makes me really unhappy. ---

This was a great episode, but I beg you Braga and Berman, please, please stop this time travel crap! It will ruin Enterprise! The future needs to be a secret for these fledgling explorers. If you really want to show so much time travel, create a new ST series devoted to time travel! Enterprise is supposed to showcase the infancy of starfleet and the beginnings of The Federation! ---

After listening to Archer’s argument (“Humans are like a new-born gazelle…”), I was ready to have him ousted, too. Scott, Scott, I know you can do better than that. \*\* I’m with you there. Embarrassing. The vulcans seemed to swallow it, though. I personally liked T’Pol’s argument: “They may be idiots, but you’re sneaks. So give 'em a break.” If that’s “putting it over the top” (???) I guess she did it. Though that line still strikes me as kinda weird. Also weird: that he said it about three times. ---

A-HA! Perhaps if I were an alien, I’d have got that. Maybe he should have had Hoshi help out with that one. Though that might have seemed even more suspicious to the “discrete” crewman that saw him go into T’Pol’s quarters. [in mess hall] Crewman Whatshername: Hey, fellow crewperson - you won’t believe what I just saw! Fellow Crewperson: What’s that? CW: The captain going into that Vulcan’s quarters with Topless Hoshi! FC: Wow! UPN’s even pornier than usual, today!
