Milhouse: "I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart."

I have not seen the Enterprise episode in question, and in fact have not followed the series very closely. However, I believe there was a TNG episode similar to this where Riker tried to make a member of a gender-neutral species become female? If anyone else remembers this episode, does it have any parallels to the Enterprise episode in question?

That's your, Dilbert.

Thanks for the hostility, though. :heart:

Grammatical errors don't make my point less relevant.

I'M VERY FRUSTRATED ABOUT THIS ENTERPRISE CRAP!!! DON'T FVCK WITH ME.

Yeah I kept thinking about that TNG ep too. It was creepy 'cause Reiker was VERY attracted to 'her'. There aren't that many actual paralells IMHO.

Actually that is what I liked. SUBTLETY unsuited for the typical sci-fi tv viewer.

Explain.

There was nothing subtle about it. Archer freaked out in an unprecedented way. Everything we've seen up to this point of his character would indicate that he would side with Tripp on it. Writers should not be allowed to fundamentally change the nature of a character without explanation, and Archer never explains himself. Are they trying to say that T'Pol functions as the Chorus, telling us that Archer has decided that first-contacts and, essentially, trade are more important than morally correct action?

What's to explain? Either you "get it" or you do not. This is better sci-fi since it make most people uncomfortable at first viewing . . . it's on again on Sunday

I'd suggest you watch it again . . .

That was the episode with the J'nai? If I recall, Riker only gave answers to the questions that the individual was asking, and at no time was the species deprived of anything. Quite different from the recent Enterprise episode (which by the way was much better than the TNG episode in question).

The wife Calla complained that she had to wait a long time to get the Cogenitor. This suggests that the 3% really have no time to do anything other than help make babies. The fly in the ointment is that they have the same mental capabilities as the rest of the population, and Trip felt he was freeing her from her ignorance and giving her free will. But she was not in obvious distress and it was not his call to make as he should have gotten Archer's or T'Pol's approval first. He also improperly entered her quarters and snuck her aboard Enterprise.

In <U>The Day the Earth Stood Still</U> the alien was trying to help Earth by providing some information to save it from destruction. Fearful of the alien, the army tries to kill him. In this episode, the Cogenitor was fearful of the alien Trip, absorbed the information meant to free her, and killed herself (partly because she could not free herself.)

Archer really could not offer her santuary because the Cogenitor Charles was not being unfairly persecuted. Presumably she didn't want to be just a Cogenitor.

I thought Reed was gonna get in a threesome with the Twins. You all noticed he banged his head when one of them made a suggestive remark. Next episode, the Borg?

Considering the logistical constraints of made-for-TV - a 4-act play of 10 minute each scenes - STE is pretty good.

It looks like the writers are finally finding their "grove" (and enjoying it) and the actors are starting to come together as a "crew" like STV (finally did).
