We still don't know if there's gonna be another season, eh?

I liked the last episode. Some funky aliens can take over their bodies, and they were doing it to observe how humans handle some of the crew getting some virus. It was structured real nice and fun to watch.

I noticed that those funky aliens were Organians. They were first shown in the original series episode "Errand of Mercy."

So once again, what we thought was a "first encounter" wasn't really?

I do admit, they repeat Enterprise here, too, I think it's on Saturday. A day when I guarantee my memory is not going to be any better than it was on Friday night.

I really am going to look into the cost of TIVO. I spend so much on cable internet, television, HBO what's another 20 bucks or so a month?

I didnt catch that. I heard them state their names, but didn't catch what it was. If so thats pretty cool, and explains why they made comments about taking a couple hundred years to make contact with us...which is about the time Kirk and company would meet up with them. Also Archer kept the entire thing secret as if nothing happened, so Starfleet would have no record of encountering them.

Really? I wish I'd caught that episode now.

It does seem the new writers are trying much harder to come up with interesting stories. I'm glad to hear they are also tying it into the original series a lot better than they have in the past.

When does Enterprise's season end, does anyone know?

I liked the first ep, just shown, with the Andorians and the Tellarites. Try and catch that today, if your repeat is on Sunday, like most are. The second ep of that arc should be pretty good!

Hypatia, ask your cable company if they offer DVR cable boxes. Where I live, and have Comcast Cable, they offer an HDTV cable box/DVR combination, for $10 extra per month, and it will work just fine on a standard TV. I have one with two tuners, so, I can record one thing, while watching another, or, play back something I've recorded, while recording two things at once! I love it, but it needs more storage capacity, when used for HD. It has plenty for SDTV.

I too enjoyed this first episode of the arc with the Andorians and Tellarites.

They are DEFINITELY making this Season of Enterprise the way it always should have been. If Season 1 was really our Season 4, the series would have had a lot more promise...and more viewers.

I caught part of it today. It repeats on Saturdays here, I see. A certain much-used-sci-fi actor in blue with the swaying antenna, I noticed.

The stories are definitely getting better. And Archer seems to be getting more of a spine.

Side note just for old Mighty: I haven't seen the dog yet. Hope Porthos is still o.k.

Jade Jaguar · January 30th 05, 01:25

That actor is Jeffrey Combs. The reason you haven't seen Porthos is because Tellarites consider canines a delicacy, so Archer is keeping him out of sight... Or, did you know that?

hypatia · January 30th 05, 01:26

Yes, I do recognize the name, Jeffrey Combs.

I enjoyed seeing him.

They eat dogs? How can they know about a species from Earth? You are yanking my chain, aren't you?
