Hurray, we open with Liz Cutler (Kelly Waymire who was taken from us far too early). She's studying "Termites of Loracus Prime" - but it seems to be the easy reading edition with lots of pictures. We've found a new planet. StarFleet apparently has given absolutely no thought to how to go a...

I always thought moths were kind of a joke because they're pretty rare in California. Then I moved to Japan and they started eating my suits

After the strong start of Broken Bow this episode is a disappointment in a lot of ways. I often hear about TV shows needing time to hit their stride but this makes little sense to me. The first few episodes should be the strongest, at least script-wise. I can understand if the cast needs a while to ...

Definitely watching from beginning to end is easier than trying to pick episodes to watch.

Techno babble is sometimes too much babble and you have to be careful your babble doesn't go in the wrong direction. One thing I was forgetting about plasma - it's star temperature hot so if it touches anything solid it will either melt it or cool off so much it's not a plasma anymore (I think Eless...

OK, our landing party has been captured by the good Suliban. But we don't learn that until after their leader stuffs her tongue down Archer's throat so she can figure out if she's trustworthy. Hmmm...at least she didn't transform until after she kissed him. Unfortunately she gets killed off right aw...

Oooh, techno babble. Hmmm....the way the warp reactor is described, the basic power is provided by matter and anti-matter being combined. Since this tends to make a big boom, it must be done very precisely (1 milligram of antimatter mixed with matter results in a blast equivalent to 40 tons of TNT) ...

Off to a strong start with a big explosion caused by Klang. But why didn't he just shoot the farmer? Archer is way out of control barging into the ICU where they've got Klang on life support. We have our first glimpse of "logical" Vulcans - Archer's comment "When your logic doesn't wo...

I decided to start at the beginning and work my way through all of the episodes. I'm going to post my quick reviews and impressions on the episodes as I go through, feel free to join in!

Actually got some writing done on The Ocean of Night, thanks to my new trick of getting things done by procrastinating on something else (sorry Weeble). I need to wrap up this little Edos arc and get on to the real meat of the story!

O-tanjobi omedeto gozaimasu Panya-san!

Happy Birthday!

Now you guys have me jonesing for a tamale.

Grits are nixtamalized (isn't that a great word?) which is where you soak the corn in lime (the mineral kind, not the green fruit kind) and it breaks down some of the proteins. That gives you hominy and then you can dry and grind the corn up into flour. If you add some water to the flour, you get ma...
