Enterprise - I wanna get on it!

"Shuttlepod One"... I hated that one.
If they had a phase pistol, why not take turns to stun one another to prolong the oxygen? Why keep using up energy on heating when slowing down their metabolic rate was more useful? Between the brandy and the shuttlepod's medical supplies they should have been able to arrange to take turns to be unconscious for the best part of a week, without resorting to the phase pistol. ANYTHING to stop that conversation...

Hiya, Tabs.
I have to admit, that while I had my doubts about him, by about halfway through the series I could look at him without thinking "Quantum Leap"... Except for the episode which guest-starred Dean Stockwell, of course...

Hehehe
I expected Dean Stockwell to say "You look familiar" when Scott Bakul was brought into his office!
I suppose it was a case of it's not what you know but ~who~ you know in some cases...
I like the shower scenes & partial nudity/underwear in Enterprise/sci-fi but then I'm just hot-blooded.
Why isn't there more sex in space? Imagine what you could get up to in zero-gravity.

Dr. Bashir *did*, in an episode of DS9! (with the new recruit from the low-gravity world; can't remember the episode title, but she was the one who complained that the G'agH was half-dead...)
(And please, no Roger Moore references - the memory of "Moonraker" is too painful...)

Oh yes, I remember that episode, she was strapped into a chair normally & he tried to make her "normal" but then she decided to go back to her homeworld.
Oh well, can't have Dr Bashir lucky in love can we? Not on tv anyway, he's already lucky offscreen, he's married to the actress who plays Kira Nerys.
*still giggling at the backlog*
Didn't know I was a lecherous loon.
And the vote for "Wesley Crusher and anyone" in Most Unlikely Coupling.

Did someone mention gratuitous grundy wearing and biceps?
*Screeches to a halt*
I've already clocked Mayweather's biceps!
Best looking female: Toss up between T'Pol and Jadzia Dax
Best looking male: Worf! (Very closely followed by Captains Archer, Picard and Science tofficer Spock)
Best villain: Has to be the Borg, although I really did like the Cardiassians as villains. Oh and the Borg's enemy, species 827 thingeewotsit!
Most unlikely coupling: Doctor McCoy and Spock
By the way, who's Prophet calling weird, scary & lecherous loons?
Hands up who feels they're being exploited by the sci-fi industry?

It's weirdly compelling, in a deeply disturbing fashion. I think of it like rubber-necking at a motorway pile-up
Species 827 were kind of naff. They could have gone somewhere, but they ended up just being wasted.
"We kill Borg! We're immensely scary! Oh wait; you've done for us as a major power."
Plus, they had the gratuitous 'look how we're cool and different because we have biotech' schtick. They were okay in their one-off capacity, but failed to fulfil their potential as ongoing villains.
Still; they were way better than the Hirogen, who had silly outfits and a daft schtick.
According to the IMDb, by the way, Siddig el Fadil and Nana Visitor divorced last year.
TTFN ya lecherous loons

Oh Mr.P.... you know us so well!
Those Hirogen weren't nearly as scary as my nearly 4-year-old
Key: Complain about this post
