Meanwhile, crew members believe Archer's increased stress level is due to Porthos' illness, but Dr. Phlox suspects it has to do with Archer's repressed sexual tension and urges Archer to discuss it with T'Pol.

This could well be the worst episode ever. After Hoshi's utterly contrived attempt to take her shirt off, this may well be the most terribly written excuse to show people in a state of undress that has ever been filmed.

I just watched the episode that appeared on UK TV this week. It was the one where they meet the group of Vulcan's that are trying to regain emotions. The seven-year mating cycle is mentioned there but not by the ponfar name. It was however clearly stated that only males get this.

This Dr.Phlox guy sounds more and more like Dr.Zoidberg from Futurama

Actually, I think Dr. Phlox is the bigger quack given what been said about him.

I simply can't believe that even B&B and their cadre of morons can do THIS badly.

Either they're spewing out shit on purpose because they're even stupider than I thought, or they're trying but just can't write a good story because even stupider than I thought (either possibility is likely).

Or they just don't give a flying fuck. They couldn't possibly screw it up this badly and they have ample proof the fans aren't that dumb. So they just don't give a shit.

I think that was obvious around the time of "Voyager will either make it home or it won't" quote.

Acutally, they would go under the "B&B are completely retarded" heading. Along with the ever brilliant "Some of these guys think Rick and I are morons" comment. Well, no shit Sherlock.

This is pathetic. I mean, I'm a trekkie/Trekker/whateverthehellyouwanttocallme, and I think that I could do a better job of plot writing. I once started an extension of TOS to finish off the 5 - year mission (there were, as I recall, only 3 seasons), and I did 5 or 6 episodes. I think that all of mine are better than this trash which B&B are spewing. I can't believe that Trek has taken such a slide...

I'm surprised she didn't just reach up and grab it. From what I can see, her choices were the following:

1) reach up and grab her shirt
2) run around topless and leave a clue for the Suliban that someone was loose onboard the ship.

But that would the logical choice. And this is Enterprise.

Speaking of Logic, does the grandfather paradox cover killing B&B's grandparents?

Grandfather paradox only applies to killing your own grandfather. Unless you're related to Bozo and Binhead (BEGONE, FOUL DEMON!), feel free to go back in time and slash a few throats....

I saw the comercial again for next week's Enterprise. In one of the scenes T'Pol and Archer are embracing under an umbrella in the rain.

I know they are suppose to run into problems on a planet (Porthos gets sick from being their) but this scene looked suspiciously like a dream sequence.

Also, one of the scenes with T'Pol & Archer looked to be in the decon chamber with fewer articles of clothing than has been the norm.

The question that keeps coming to my mine is T'Pol going to decide that it is logical that she (the next highest ranking person on the ship) have sex with the captain to prevent his "sexual tension" from interfering with his command?:roll:(bad logic) That's assuming all the scenes are actually real and not in someone's head.

I could also see T'Pol trying to use what she learned about mind melds with Archer so there's no actual physical sex but in their heads....

Oh yeah the episode we've all been waiting for.
Enterprise isn't gonna last much more than 4 seasons.

Tsyroc · Post by **Tsyroc** » 2002-10-14 04:01am

They are still talking 7 years in the Trem magazines.

Since they already have the T/A installed in this show what are they going
to do to bail out the ratings like they did on Voyager?

One of the magazines I as reading looked like Braga plans to push the "sensuality" and "humor" more.

The sensuality thing could push the envelope more in keeping with the spirit of TOS but I doubt they'll even go as far as NYPD Blue or other shows currently on.

Of course there's still the Ray Bradbury problem to consider, I mean we could come back and Kevin J. Anderson is doing to Star Wars what B&B do to Trek every week.....

NOOOOOOOO!

I think Archer and T'Pol will eventually get jiggy with it, and will have a son. He will be the first human/vulcan hybrid, and they will name him Spock.

Oh come on no one could possibly fuck up continuity that bad, not even B&B.

Ray Bradbury: Sound of Thunder, Basicly, I guy travels back in time to kill a dinosaur that was going to die from natural causes anyways (Just a little before it steps into the tarpit), and instead freaks out and squashes a butterfly, as a result, the whole of society changes. The game warden on the Safari kills him for fucking up time.

Or, You change one thing, and other things will be effected.
