Do a search at TV Guide Online. Unfortunately, no repeats in the DC area this weekend, which is odd because 20 did repeat Voyager. I was looking forward to watching again in case I missed anything.

Just checked TV guide for the DC area. It’ll be repeat on Sat. at 8.
You’re inferring that I meant they were chosen by their government? I don’t think I said that, but if it seems I did, I apologize for being unclear. Let me rephrase. They left Vulcan to join an Earth-based military organization, and seem to be very conscious of the fact that they are seen as representatives of their species. I believe Tuvok once gave the Vulcan ensign a speech about his duty as a Vulcan or something similar. Spock and Tuvok, like all members of Starfleet, are exceptional, and so cannot be reliable examples of what a typical Vulcan would be like.
On behalf of all structural linguists and linguistics majors, I would like to offer all space scientists, physicists, and engineers my retroactive condolences. Out of all the linguistic jargon they used, exactly one term made any kind of sense, and that was “proper noun.”
I want whoever wrote the theme music caught and shot now.
DAMN if this show doesn’t have the highest hot guy quotient of any Trek to date. The cap’n, the first officer, the weapons guy, the engineer… and much male booty action! Boxer-briefs shots and everything! The decontamination gel scene… ooh! I’m just waiting for the slash (the real slash, if you please) to begin.
7 of 9 had her breasts; T’Pol has her lips. I don’t think those are physically possible.
And I would really have appreciated it if they hadn’t made the Asian woman weren’t completely jumpy and ineffectual in a fight. I want an action hero structural linguist.
I will accept this show once the British weapons officer pronounces the word “lieutenant” correctly (/lEf’tEn@nt/). Until then it’s on probation.
What is your beef? We had the same guys, Michael Ansera, William Campbell and the guy who was in Battlestar Galactica show up in TOS with smooth heads and in DS9 as turtles.
It’s screwed up, they gotta go one way or the other. There are a lot more episodes/films of Klingons as turtles.
I thought there was a new Vulcan smilie. I actually went to look as I had seen a thread about getting more smilies. I think I figured it out though … ^:)^ … duh
I liked the way the phasers worked in the first gun fight scene. They worked like about what you would expect from a high powered laser… they made an upleasant burn. They did not make an object explode are melt into the ether.
Has anyone seen Enterprise twice? I didn’t tape it (the way some people speak of TiVo on these boards it sounds like taping shows is a new invention). Did you pick up nuances you missed the first time round? Did the music get any better? Are you less bothered by the ridges on the Klingon heads?
I don’t understand the forehead deal. If you go by, say, Worf’s remarks in the DS9 episode “Trials and Tribulations” then you have to accept that the Enterprise was made of ply wood, and, also due to improved digital imaging, that Mr. Spock wore uniforms with coffee stains on them.
::Nod:: And it’s been stated(By Roddenbury, and I think Berman) that within the ST universe, the Klingons have always had ridged foreheads.
That the old series didn’t have the budget to give it to them doesn’t mean they can’t ignore that give them to them now. That’s a minor retcon, but removing them now would be a major once, since several formerly smooth Klingons have been shown with ridges.
Contains the title of a future episode and an actor’s name, some purists may consider it a spoiler.
There will be an episode entitled “The Andorian Incident”. It has er, what’s his name, the guy who played a Vorta on DS9. He says the makeup is a lot netter than TOS.
Do you think there will be a furor over the revised Andorian makeup?
