DIdn't they do an episode like this before where the Doctor didn't want to help someone?

MvRojo

Kinda, that was the one where he had the cure for a fatal disease that would eventually wipe out an entire race who was suppressing another race on the planet. That one was somewhat more about the "Prime Directive" where he didnt want to change the evolutionary course of this planet, while Archer wanted to help the people.

This one is more along the lines of dealing with ones own prejudices and resentment towards a former enemy. Since Phlox served in the Denobulan military as a medic, he does not want to help the dying man since it's one of his enemies.

The last ones were somewhat decent. maybe....just maybe.....

First three minutes....

"Tribbles and Bits Reptile Chow!"

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Deftones

Sweet! Lt. Tom Paris is directing it!

tanman

Darn my Satellite went out so I can't join in the bashing!

oh wait, its not a requirement to see the episode to bash.


Well this episode really stunk, could it have BEEN anymore repetative?

mikehunt

at the tribble part
when the Denoblians said they didn't use ropes I was really hoping for some sort of anti-grav harnesses or something

MvRojo

I thought this episode did a much better job of showing Phlox than the last one did with Mayweather.

Wizdar

Excellent performance by Billingsley. (Except for his mouth.) The rest of this confused mess was better than last week. Which ain’t saying much.

Another bit of crapping on continuity. Tribbles are outlawed all over, but are never heard of by Kirk’s time. However, feeding the little sucker to the whatever makes it almost a push. THAT was funny.

Chew

Any chance Phlox had a Glommer take out the Tribble?



As to the episode: another week, another meh

Red Dog

That is what I was hoping for too. Obviously B&B have never seen the animated series. They should stay away from these novelty tributes to TOS because they F them up every time.


Let me guess this straight. Humans have developed the ability to go Warp 5 in 2152 but they still use the same means of decending and ascending a rock face?

1 - When and how did the doctor lose so much weight?

2 - Why don't the show more T'pol?

Wizdar

2 – Because she has the charisma of an eggplant.

CanadianKnight

Don't you mean eggplantS Wizdar?

Wizdar

C'mon. Get your head outta your pants.

Eggplants don't have nipples.

I hated this episode but feel compelled to post here. I will watch next week's episode and hate it too. The fact I hate this show will not stop me from watching it or posting here.

I'm the same way. It is like watching a train wreck. You can't help but watch if you are a Trek fan. For some reason though, I didn't get sucked in the same way about Voyager - after about 10 episodes, I gave up on that (and I never got into DS9 either). For some reason, I keep watching this one. I need there to be 2 good alternatives in the same timeslot to stop me from watching (currently - only 1 - That 70s Show).

Chew

At what point did you give up on DS9? I think if you go back and check it out again (on DVD, of course), you'll find a show that's better in just about every way over Enterpoop. Especially following the 2nd season finale and the introduction of the Defiant.


Ok, Wizdar, what did I do now?

Deftones

A decent episode. I think we could all do w/o all the spelunking, tough.

Red Dog

Just never liked DS9 - I've probably seen 15-20 episodes here and there (different seasons) - the characters just didn't really interest me. Maybe I just always will think of Rene Auberjenous as the guy wearing 3-piece suits on Benson. I don't think DS9 was a bad show - just wasn't good enough to hold my interest. I don't disagree that it is better than Enterprise.

Frankly, TOS will always be #1 to me and nothing will come close although TNG was very good as well. I guess I keep watching Enterprise because this is the time period I really wanted them to address since they had already done the 23rd and 24th centuries with TOS and TNG. Unfortunately, they are doing a horrible job with it.
