Just saw it.
Oh my goodness.
I just thought I’d get the thread started, that’s all. No spoilers from me yet. Just . . . oh my goodness.
Poor cplant. I wonder how long we can keep this up? 
It’s a trap!
Well, someone had to start this week’s Enterprise thread! 
I’m still an Enterprise newbie (am almost finished watching Season One and have seen parts of Season Three) but I’m terribly hooked.
I won’t give away what happens in this week’s episode, (yet) but—oh my! Oh my! I’ll repeat that: oh my! The ending is very “oh my!”
Well, since nobody’s talking, I’ll give a synopsis…
Archer wakes up in the middle of the night and finds himself in the future. (Gets really annoying…time traveling while asleep…). Daniels tells him not to go on a suicide mission. “Suicide mission? Good idea!”, Archer says. He pops back to his own time. Daniels curses.
Meanwhile, at the Xindi Council of Doom, we learn that the whole weapon business was actually a front for a second EvilPlan™. The Xindi Aquatics used to be like the humanoids, until they were exposed to massive doses of kemocite, causing accelerated evolution. They are vital for the use of the vortices, allowing ships to travel from one point to another instantaneously. Well, now they are preparing to open a votex to another universe, but because of some technobabble, doing so would cause the universe as we know it to vanish, killing everyone (You’d think the xindi would be concerned about that, but hey, what do I know)
Enterprise arrives at AP. Archer finds that there’s a huge jug of kemocite about to be consumed in the vortex opening. In a brilliant show of Vulcan logic, T’Pol deduces everything I said in the above paragraph. Archer goes on a suicide mission. The crew rejoices, until T’Pol discovers his last order: Movie Nights will be replaced with Water Polo Marathons. She weeps.
Cut to Council of Doom. We learn that the Aquatics are asking to be called Kzinti. THe other races oppose this, leading to a bit of petty squabbling. Meanwhile, Archer rams his shuttlepod into the big Kemocite Storage Tank of Doom. For some unknown reason, this causes all of the aquatics to begin opening the vortices.
Cue ominous music.
Suddenly, a rent in space opens, and out pops a huge space station accompanied by a titanic fleet of Minbari and Vorlon warships…
(to be continued six weeks later and in a later timeslot)
You know, Athelas, I shouldn’t admit this probably but that -sounds- like an excellent plot to me! Gah, I’m not sure I can wait another six hours before I can see this; I will definitely have to nap before 8 PM tonight. And remember to set up my VCR to record it too! GAH!
Well, of course the other races oppose this! Everyone knows that cats hate water.
Unless I was dreaming, **cplant ** did start a thread last night… I even responded to it. Ah, well… anything to annoy him is well worth it. Let’s use this thread instead. 
By the way, Yosemite… how did you see it? **Plant ** apparently gets a Canadian feed that’s a day early. Do you get the same one?
By the way, these *are * spoiler threads… go ahed and spoil it. I wanna know!
Aesiron, was there another thread started? I looked for one but did not see it! Oh well, I don’t mind annoying cplant!
I was able to see it because, well . . . uh . . . I just did, that’s all! (I don’t have UPN connected to my VCR and so must find “alternate means” to get a recording of the show via broadband. Though I’ll probably watch it on my sister’s TV as well, which has UPN but no way to connect a VCR. Convoluted, eh? Sorry you asked, huh? )
Spoilers, spoilers . . . hmmmm . . .
Archer goes on a suicide mission. T’Pol cries and acts irrational. The Enterprise looks like it is BREAKING APART (big glowing chunks and chunks falling off of it) by the end of the cliffhanger episode!! ARGH!! The Enterprise looks in really bad shape. How are they going to get out of it? Why are they making us wait so long for part two of this story?!?!?
cplant, I’ll post here to be friendly to the new girl. (How YOU doin?) But, I’ll ignore Aes and tracer, okay? Okay.
I never did get to see the bugs show last week.
Real show stuff to follow, Tarragon.
Yeah, really wow…
At the end the Enterprise is getting its ass kicked.
Archer is a prisoner, but slowly is convincing the primates of the greater plots.
And finally.
ENTERPRISE-J!?!?!? Holy crap!
I predict the best part of this episode will be the giant space paramecium, who is the cousin of the giant space Ameba Kirk fights.
On second read, it looks like I’m doing a joke post. But in fact I am not.
It sure took em long enough to make a episode worthwhile watching.
T’Easer:
Using a rock to hide behind, good idea. I like the warp sig records, too.
Degra is way too talkative.
Act I:
The big Xindi ship looks like the lizard’s head!
Damn, that girl has a bod!
So… they found the Xindi shuttle last week, I take it?
Some good Hoshi while decipher bug talk. How did she she get so much of it? The sphere database? Or last weeek?
Why aren’t the bug ship controls more than two handed? Would’ve been cool to require more than human appendages to pilot.
T’Pol’s ears are exceptionally well done. Have been this whole series, just thought I would bring it up.
Ooh…! Unprovoked attack by Quantum on Xindi moon base alpha! Well, hey, it IS war, people!
“Hell. It’s only water!” So… the Whale Xindi are building Xindi Super Happy Fun Ball underwater? Hmmm…
Mayweather is a hero! Everybody wants to die. Cool.
Damn it! Daniels! I told you guys over the Summer break that he would be back.
Act II:
What was Daniels showing Quantum? Battle of Procyon V. The Sphere uilders vs the Federation. Interesting. They are the real enemy!
By the way, what the hell is Daniels wearing?
So, there are Xindi serving in Starfleet during time of Enterprise J? Hmmm…
T’Pol is believing time travel now. And… “I don’t want you to die!” I like her insanity.
Remember those things that you used to put your 45s in? That’s what the Xindi lizard is wearing.
Degra has a conscience. Esp where children are concerned.
Ah… the insect boat controls ARE made for four handers.
Quantum has a conscience, too. “My name is a killing word.”
PORTHOS!
Finally, more crew members. Farewell, mon capitan!
Way to go, martyr.
What year (Trek universe) was Nemesis? Between then and 400 yrs in ENT future (2561?) there were 4 other Enterprises. In that timeline, anyways…
Early 2380s, I believe.
This episode sounds cool but I hate that T’Pol is being emotional again. For Sarek’s sake, BE A VULCAN.
Act III
T’Pol cries. Remember, by Vulcan standards, she is insane.
Spaceships as submarines. Makes sense to me.
Is Tripp Captain now? No… T’Pol is. WTF? Okay, I guess. She isn’t StarFleet or even Vulcan command whatever anymore, but she outranks Tripp on ENT. Tripp should be in command, I say.
Oooh! The Passion of Quantum! Flogg him! Impake him! We have no king but Caeser!
Quantum: “I eat your lizard brothers at home!”
I could get out of those shackles. 
Everybody has a death wish. Sheesh!
I like the Quantum/Degra conversation thingy. “The Spheres were built by particularly clever hyperintelligent pandimensional beings.”
Son of a bitch! Kill me and you die, too!
So, 180 yrs between E and J.
NCC-1701 lasted 30 yrs (or so) before its refit. April, Pike, Kirk, refit, Decker, Kirk
So, E lasts 30 yrs let’s say… retired 2410. Still leaves 150 yrs for F, G, H, and however long J has been around. Between 30 and 40 yrs per Enterprise.
Act IV as Cliffhanger:
T’Pol runs amuck. Quantum goes to War Council.
'Sploshuns!
T’Pol with a TVH line: “Get it back!”
NX is blown all to hell. Nice! (Pretty blonde girl on bridge.)
Find the Frankenstein reference for me and I’ll send you something cool. Must describe it in detail.
Cliffhanger was done right. We know they won’t all die. But no guarantee of NX-01 surviving.
Previews?
