Tapioa almost certainly saw this week’s episode, “Precious Cargo.” It featured a bitchy princess who was put in suspended animation with all of her hair and make-up intact. The progress of her interaction with the engineer guy was even more predictable than the plot of that “Klingons Bully the Deuterium Miners” episode a few weeks back. ---

Enterprise seems to be getting its plots from books in the juvenile section of the local book store. Hopefully someone keeps them away from the Redwall and Oz books. Archer: Hoshi, what is that mouse saying? Hoshi: something about being the defender of Redwall Abbey and fighting Cluney the Scourge. Jack Pumpkinhead: I think i’m not entirely ripe yet… Cowardly Lion: Put 'em up! Put 'em up! I’ll fight you with one arm behind my back! T’Pol ::Neck Pinches the Lion:: The Vulcan Science Acadamy has determined Wizards are impossible. ---

And I thought that the episode the the deutirium mine (mine???) was just so bad I had to turn it off. That deutirium burns as hot as plama! And it’s under 5000 millibars of pressure! That’s less than my bicycle tyres :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-you-watch-enterprise-its-good-or-its-trek-an-entertainment-poll/142235.md?page=2)
