Wednesday's Enterprise

Anybody see it? Tucker gets stranded on a planet with a lizard man. Depsite stealing ideas from Enemy Mine and other STNG episodes, I thought this one was okay.
However, at the end I was perplexed by Archer's actions. I can buy him letting Trip stay down there and not abandon his new found friend. But why fuck didnt they beam down some supplies to help with the heat?
Shit, they could beam down a fucking umbrella to shade them, a big bag of ice, an environmental suit for Tucker, you get the idea. It seams nobody ever used the transporter to its potential or am I missing something?

That they didn't beam anything down to them was unforgiveable. Who wrote that?
Connor Trinneer lost his shirt, so it wasn't all bad....

Captain:"Ok, we can do things the easy way, the hard way, or the Starfleet way."
Redshirt:"Whats entailed with the Starfleet way?"
Captain:"It combines both easy and hard. Easy for me cuz it means I don't have to do anything. Hard for you because we won't beam you down any support whatsoever. Makes the action all the more dramatic and gives the medical staff something to do once we finally get you out of there. I really like the Starfleet way..."

Bah, Captains never feel bad about ordering Redshirts to their deaths. There's always more where the last batch came from afterall...

It looked like a demon from Buffy.
And they didn't do it because it would have been smart.

What the fuck are you smoking(if a gorn is what I think it is) no forhead ridges== no appearancce on Ent. Why waste the money when it could be better spent elsewhere, like providing more padding for B&B rolling in sucking each off.

They're compensating for the fact that their transporter effect (like everything else) looks too advanced by almost never using the damn thing -- even when they
should. Typical bonehead maneuver.
