222 Cogenitor
Trip is a jackass. He makes me realize that humans are all jackasses. That's what the show is about, right?

This epsode is awful. There is no nonstop 3-way action as promised.

I have to remember to use "I'd like to see your Tactical Array" as a pickup line. In 9 out of 10 cases it won't work, but in that one case, it'll be magical.

When Archer says "If you can't go over a wave, you have to go through it," he was talking about water, not million degree plasma. Fortunately it works.

What the hell ... very interesting thought experiement. Three genders. How would society be structured? Like it was in the TV show? With slaves?

221 The Breach
There is no such thing as an original idea. Especially on television. And especially on Star Trek. I suppose all the good ideas are taken. But I do remember Worf running into the same ethical dillema as Dr. Flox.

I think the Enterprise crew uses the same backpacks I've seen trendy asian kids wear around Sony Metreon.

Oreganite. Sounds like a tasty mineral.

When did Archer become such a hardass?

220 Horizon
Finally an entrance into Mayweather's "boomer" past. Quite obvious they were going to delve into it when he was introduced.

Ugh, super boring. The day to day life of the Enterprise crew at this time period is bad enough, who gives a shit what is happening to cargo ship crew? And it was more exciting to be watching an old (even by today's standards) Frankenstein movie than some planet being torn apart by two suns? What the hell? I do have to admit, T'Pol did have a humorous reaction to the movie. Quite unexpected. Remember, beware the peasants, for they come bearing torches.

Next weeks Enterprise is called "The Breach." More development for Dr. Flox's species.

219 Judgement
Okay, I was real excited when I saw that Berman and Braga were starting a new series in the Star Trek line. I had watched Star Trek: The Next Generation when I was a kid. When Star Trek: Deep Space Nine came out, I really got into that. I even watched Star Trek Voyager throughout it's history, even without the sexual prodding of Seven of Nine.

This new show has me undecided. Yes, it's Star Trek. Technically. Yeah, it's got that guy from Quantum Leap who doesn't do much of acting. But Rick Berman and Brannon Braga have signed on to it, how bad can it be? I've watched a season and a half of it, and I can say it's pretty crappy. But every one of the post "original series" Star Treks have had this problem with starting off poor and building up to something decent. So I kept with it. Hell, even that stupid ass intro song grew on me.

I was happy when I saw on the TiVo that this was a Klingon heavy episdode. The actor J.G. Hertzler (aka General Martok) I noticed immediately after he spoke his first line. He has a very distinct, gravely voice. He has become the archtypical Klingon actor. In "Judgement" he plays an advocate, the equivilant of a public defender in American society. This is the first episode I've seen that I've considered fairly good, worthy of the name "Star Trek: Enterprise".

I think, based apon the prophetic predictions of Berman, we're going to see Hertzler's character as a regular member of the Enterprise crew.
