"In A Mirror, Darkly" Part I

"It was much easier for [us] as civilized men to behave like barbarians than it was for [them] as barbarians to behave like civilized men." Spock, " in STAR TREK TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror."

No frame story, no lead-in, no garbage :) Just out and out barbarism and one hell of a good time:)

I *loved.* Zephram Cochrane as 'enforcer.'

Hoshi and Archer. Well....Damn!

TPol. Way more than meets the midriff here. Her casual usurpation of Tucker is more than Mirror Spock did, even in an emergency. He only went in for info. She marched Tucker around like a marionette.

Phlox! "Think you're angry now..."
Dissecting a Poor! Defensless! Lifeform! Bwahahaahahahaa!
"Please kindly DIE."

Boomer in soldier-drag.

What didn't seem to fit:

Archer's mercy to Forrest. Are you up for the captaincy or not? If so...he should have died with the takeover by Archer.

The men's uniforms. No Fun. At. All. At least a silver glitter-sash to go with the blue. Not an earlier version of the "Yesterday's Enterprise" arms' harness.

Enquiring minds wanna know:

Who Are The Reptillians in the Defiant's nacelle? Zindi? Gorn? "Founders?" temporarily shifted into reptiles?

Favorite Next Episode Teaser Line:

"What ARE YOU wearing?"

Great fun, and a good testament that the bean counters at Paramount should *never* have cancelled this show.

More next week for Barbarism Part II

Denny Crane's Coming to Denver

April 29-May 1...going to have to miss that convention no bucks....Jeffrey Combs will be there too...now *he's* worth seeing :) Shran is the *best* character he's ever done, and it is one of the small joys of Enterprise.

"Our final proposal was knocked down by Paramount. We will not see a season five for Star Trek Enterprise. "

Not like I really thought it would happen but...damn.
