blast from the past

The episode of Enterprise they showed on Channel 4 at the weekend, could have been one of the original Cap-itan Kirk episodes, it was that silly.

But as the reviewer on the page (see link above) says, it was frothy, but fun. As soon as you saw the two aliens who had made the distress call, you knew they were up to no good. And you knew there'd be some beautiful princess trapped in the stasis pod. And that she'd clash with Trip, who clashes with anyone who has to spend time with him in a confined space.

And of course she made him take his shirt off so she could dress a wound, and then they were all over each other. I couldn't stop laughing, it was so James Tiberius. Scott Bakula is good at this sort of thing. When he arrived on the planet to rescue them, finding them half naked, he says, "Bad time?"

I don't care what anyone says, I like Enterprise, it's got a sense of fun about it, and it's sexy in the way that Star Trek was always supposed to be sexy. I'd rather watch a couple of episodes of this than any one of the dire Star Trek movies.

Also, T'Pol is my secret girlfriend.
