This is what annoys me about modern Trek.

The conversion never fails to steer towards which actress this week gave who "the hot." 7 of 9 was the death-knell of Voyager and, unless they start injecting her with a much more pronounced character, "clown-lips N'Pol" is the weakest link of the current Enterprise.

Incidentally last night's episode truly was the second in a string of "good" episodes. Even though you knew there was literally no danger of those three characters biting the big one over the course of the hour, there were enough touches of realism to make it enjoyable.

Still - they did encounter the Klingon ship . . . in the dark, with flashlights . . . again.

But no dog!

(Unless you want to count the Klingon dogs that they were going to eat. )


By the way, I absolutely agree with you. Hot or not (I'd vote not), T'pol is a terribly weak character... when she should probably be the most interesting. But, I suppose the producers and writers don't care, since she was obviously hired only for her breasts. During the writing meetings, I can see it now... "Hmmm... it seems like there isn't much character development here... we seem to be having a really tough time writing this Vulcan character... the audience is going to start getting bored with her... WAIT! I've got it! Shower scene!!!!" Problem solved.

But, this episode wasn't bad overall. Definitely not as great as last week, but it does fall into the "doesn't suck" category.

Good episode, no gratuitous Porthos or spelunking action, although they did break out the flashlights in the dark again.

Have a feeling we'll be seeing the Klingons again sometime soon...

Bakula needs to tweak Archer a little still. He's a work in progress...

Ya think? That's like saying Bill Gates is slightly rich.

N'Pol or (Jolene Blalock) was on the cover of the October 2001 Maxim. I think "their" fake but look kinda real if that makes any sense.....you get to see quite a bit of her....to bad she has an outie! yuck!

You think they are? You must not have been judging for as long as I, for I am 99% sure that they're fake.

P.S. There, Their, & They're are your friends, use them well.

Hey man There and They're done me wrong once real bad......I have nooooo use for those bastards!!! ehhehehhehe

My husband said the vulcan chick should go into porn.

N'Pol (heh, like this name better than the real one) is the token seven of nine character, only without the emotions. I think her character could be a lot better if the writers could see past her rack long enough to make her a little less biz-nitchy. Spock didn't start coming into his own right away either. It wasn't till he was discovered to have a latent sense of humor and all those superpowers that he began to get really cool There may be hope for the N'Pol.

Cap'n Archer...ho boy, don't get me started. I'm still having my doubts that the Unbelieveable Scott Bakula will start playing his character a little better. He's close to Keanu Reeves in his stiffness, but he doesn't have that cute dumb puppy dog look that Keanu has going for him. But the series is young yet, and all of the different Trek series started off a bit stiff. So far the only thing I like about Archer is Porthos. Man, that dog can ACT!

I'm really enjoying this series in spite of its flaws.

Your husband would also be correct.

Crewman Cutler was a hottie!!!

Which one was she?

N/M, I think I found her. Was she in the second to last episode? I missed that one.

Actually I was thinking she should become a lip model for some anti-herpes medication like "herpicin" or "acyclovir". Those lips look dangerously close to bubbling over into full-blown sores.

If anything on that woman's body has been enhanced, it had to be those smackers. What? Is she half duck-billed platypus? Or just part-clown on her mother's side?

Disturbing, either way.
