By addicted, you mean poisoned, right? Why the hell woud a Vulcan be addicted to something that would be the equivalent of lead to humans?

It’s the word they used at Trek Today.

I’ll see what I can do. I’m on a mission from **Boy**.

**NoClueBoy** : RE: the Frankenstein reference contest:

Is it when Archer tells Mayweather about how he ordered Phlox to create living tissue (Sim) and then watched him put it to death?

or is it when Archer tells Phlox not to harvest any part of Porthos?

Do I win?

No. Think something obvious and visual.

(everyone else, see post # 20)

Post # 20 has the act listed.

It’s Act IV, what would normally be the Climax but this week was the Cliff Hanger.

Since that post is part is part of my recap, you should be able to get the sequence. The blurb just before said: “NX is blown all to hell. Nice! (Pretty blonde girl on bridge.)”

Narrows the time frame down quite a bit, I would think. Had to occur in the few moments between when NX-01 started losing badly and the actual last look at it.

If needed, I can give another clue, but the gift quality goes down with each hint I have to type. As of this post, we have fallen to Peanut Butter Sammich! level. 🙂

Is it the part where Archer turns to the camera and says, “Did I ask thee, Maker, to mould me man? Huh? Well? _DID I?!!_” ?

Quantum will never break the 4th wall in ENT like he did in QL, so I have to say…

I think it’s the part where Mayweather runs out of the burning windmill.

No, that only happened in the movie, not the novel.

Speaking of which, **NCB** , is this _Frankenstein_ reference a reference to the book, or to the 1931 movie, or both, or neither, or what?

Since it’s visual, let’s go with the early 30s movie

Well, so long as the battery acid is **frozen** on the popsickle stick…

BTW, my “Close!” comment was to **Cerv** ’s tongue in cheek guess.

i now have stiches and gauze covering a wound where my appendix used to be, so i will be posting more erratically to these threads for a while as i lay back and heal. At least i have plenty of sick days at work saved up.

(come to look at it, i have like only 4 posts in this thread anyway, i guess i was erractic pre-surgery)  
This will delay me getting to the post office, Aesiron, but i did at least burn it to CD.

**It’s GREEN!**

I don’t have an appendix, either. I have to remember all the page cites on my ownsies.  
Get well soon, MarsMan.
