Silly **Boy** …The re-rerun tonight was “North Star.” You know, the one with the horsies?

I watched that specific scene in “Azati Prime” and I still cannot come up with the answer! I’m thinkin’ that you pulled a fast one on us. (me)

Do you tape the show for me and have a duplicate for yourself as well?

I tape on one VCR for you and on the other for my brother. Then I tape the reruns on Sunday nights so I can have stand-by copies.

**cervaise** almost had it. If he had just continued for one more sentence…

In the engine room. Xindis hit critical controls. Man becomes totally engulfed in flames. He flays around and bellows in a very Frankenstein’s monsterish manner. In fact, his actions were so close to the scene in the 1931 movie rendention where the creature is flushed out of the window, that I would wager the director told him to “Flail about and bellow like Frankenstein’s monster.”

Obscure? Sure. But you guys have gotten Norse mythology refs I’ve made, religious sacraments refs I’ve made, even minor sci-fi character refs I’ve made. I would’ve bet my pet targ on someone getting this.

For getting closest, **Cervaise** may choose from among the following gifts:

A - some smarmy little toy remeniscent of Beanie Babies

B - an unread Sci-Fi novel from a not very well known author

C - four small jars of metallic glitter

D - a used (but clean and good) music CD (several genres available)

Post your preference here and e-mail me a shipping address!

I’ll do something similar during one of the April/May eps. It’ll be obscure, but real. Good luck.

Well, if you don’t want a prize… I’ll make the next contest a multi-prize deal.

Maybe different levels of difficulty.

So, look for it! The next first run ep. Or maybe the second. Depends on when there’s something obscure enough to base it on.

Just remember, it is for real. Real prizes for Trek Dopers able to follow or figure out my random fire synapses.

Fun!

He said that it would be the result of _synapses_ firing, not… uh… other things.

You got a problem with GOO?!  
The next first run ep. will be “Damage,” wherein we should find out several things:  
How the ship will survive after the pounding it took;  
if one of the folks who went flying out into space was Cutler\*;  
if T’Pol really is an addict or what the heck is making her so emotional lately.

\*What do you wanna bet they’ll play a dirty trick on us and say it was Chef that got blown out into space?

Maybe it’s caused her to have constant PMS.

I thought Archer was the one with the PMS.

No. He has the dog.

The bitch has the PMS.

That’s what I SAID!  
Archer has PMS.  
Archer has a dog.  
The dog is played by two girl doggies.  
They have PMS.  
Therefore, Archer has PMS.

Pay attention, fergoodnessake.

Porthos is male so he cannot be a bitch, even if he is played by one. Archer thus cannot have a bitch with PMS and so does not have PMS himself.
