O.C. won't be 9/8 central next Wednesday.

Instead we get to find out what the Zindi are going to do to Archer. The ship is on the verge of being destroyed; Aft propulsion is down, hull plating depolarized and decks C thru E losing atmosphere. The captain is in the custody of the enemy, and even the stoic Vulcan T'pal sheds a tear! How can the ship make it out of this impossible situation?!

I'm betting on time travel because they always use time travel when the officers begin to die. That or it's really some sort of illusion.

They're moving Enterpirse to 9/8 central, so they are probably switching the two shows. I don't watch O.C. but I can say that for a Star Trek, the new Enterpirse is way below par. The whole Zindi thing is too Amerocentric (is that a word yet), plus the first war the humans had was with the Romulans, and the second with the Klingons, there were not Zindi a hundred years before Kirk. The bending of historical events in this new series is distancing true Trekies from the show, and by moving it to a later time, it is clear that the explorers are on their last legs.

I grow sad; this may be the last Star Trek. Gone are the noble days of Sisco and Picard, gone the Borg and Hirogens. Ah, and along with them my childhood. You all can argue about jesus, but have you ever had a heated debate about species 8475? hun? yeah, thought not.

In Bio today, this dude dropped the liver (well, one lobe) of a fetal pig into the top of his shoe. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. He just fell over and tried to kick the shoe off without touching it or any of the foul-smelling juices. When he reached down to pry his shoe off, he ended up grinding the organ into his sock, leaving a yellowish impression for all to see.

goodtimes.


Yeah, that looks like a virus.
You reunion people sound like you had a blast. Sounds like fun (I don't have any jokes to append to that, so I'm done now)
