Enterprise Season Premiere Tonight

l0key432 writes "Enterprise, Star Trek's fifth series, begins its second season on UPN tonight at 8pm/7pm central with the episode Shockwave Part II, airing just before the series premier of the new 'The Twilight Zone' show at 9pm/8pm central. Shockwave II is the conclusion to last season's season-ending cliff-hanger, and additional info can be found at this page(possible spoilers!) on StarTrek.com." Of course with my luck, it'll be pre-empted by some sporting event.

Vulcan luvin...

[override11]

Hopefully something tragic will happen and they will have to enter the decontamination room and spread goo on each other again!!!!

Captain Jonathan Archer is Dead

[techstar25]

It's already been broadcast in the east coast.
Sorry about the spoiler [slashdot.org].

"Your" right! How typically arrogant and imperialist of us. As Americans, we must be especially conscious of our status as the lone superpower and make efforts to avoid imposing announcements about our TV schedule on other cultures.

[Psmylie]

What would be even better is if they had Seven of Nine do some kinda time warp thing and she can be in the decontamination room with the vulcan chick and they can be spreading goo on each other and and Troi could be there too and for some reason the blue chick from Farscape and ... urgh..

*GASP!*

*INHALE!*

*EXHALE!*

Whew, just had a little ubergeek hyperventilation there.

Porthos Becomes Sentient Lifeform

[loggia]

If you are wondering where the archetypal "searching for humanity" character is on this show, it is reportedly Captain Archer's dog Porthos.

After having his brain advanced 1,000,000 dog years, Porthos will become an ensign and have to grapple with an Earth that does not grant individual freedoms to dogs. Look for episode "Man's Best Friend" where Porthos is deemed the propery of Starfleet and Archer must argue that Porthos deserves to makes his own choices.

Build your own Warp Engine

[XScB]

Farnell the electronic component suppliers have taken it on themselves to bring the people of Earth into an age of interstellar travel early by having started to stock [farnell.com] Dilithium Crystals. If you go to the Farnell site [farnell.com], select the UK site, then the Online Catalogue, Electronic components and finally Crystals, you can see them.

Unfortunately they seem to be out of stock right now if you were thinking of building your own Warp engine.

[fataugie]

Uh huh...so after he takes a shit on the captains chair, his name is going to be changed from Porthos to "That fucking dog"...

At least that's the way it works in my house....

Enterprise is it's own nation?

[Torgo's Pizza]

Wow, I knew Star Trek was big, but not so big to have it's own Prime Minister. I wonder who the Premier could be...

Unless of course the editors meant premiere which is the first public performance of something. Nahhh.

[iamsure]

How in the name of geekdom could you leave Skully out of that?

Re:Discrepancies

[For me to poop]

In Episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scrathcy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something?

...I'll field this one!

Re:Enterprise's problem is TIME TRAVEL SUCKS

[Ralph Wiggam]

I was always hoping that when Geordi or Data was sending the chronoton/tachyon burst that was going to set things straight after that week's temporal anomoly, that as soon as he hit the last button on the control panel some secondary character would just blink out of existence. The crew would look at each other, shrug, and go on with their business.

[Anonvmous Coward]

"Porthos will become an ensign and have to grapple with an Earth that does not grant individual freedoms to dogs."

He'll also have to face discrimination, as Starfleet doesn't allow anything with more than 2 legs to board a starship.

the words being "die die die"?

"It ain't gettin' any of our bourbon!"

Ah, finally, a Star Trek character I can identify with -- a drunken engineer.

[Nerd#1] Is that true?
[Nerd#2] Let's get 'em!
[Nerds] (nerdy growling)
[Football player] Let's get out of here!
[Nerds] (more nerdy growling, chase football team off field)

Please don't ever say that again...

[orichter]

You're creating a self fulfilling prophecy. You know they get half thier story ideas from Slashdot trolls.

Dr. Crusher, come rub my bald head!

[Nindalf]

Picard used to dip his bald head in oil, and rub it all over her body.
