Hi again all. Sorry to have let this thread run long, but it's been a busy month and long story short I was not stabbed in the parking lot of a Connecticut amusement park. I'm sure many of you can accurately make the same claim. There's a lot of line-jumpers at Lake Compounce is all. Quassy was a much better park experience even if we could not tell whether their pinball game was playable. And even if Lake Compounce has free soda. (It does.) Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire, though? Joy throughout. Worth making a trip for. They've got twenty-one pinball machines, each just 25 cents to play, even including the new Stern Star Trek table. How can you beat that? You can't, that's all. Also their wooden roller coaster is fantastic. Before getting to the next Enterprise episode and its exciting and well-developed Temporal Cold War running plot, it's time to look at last caption's winners! Winning the ``And They're Still Whining About It In The Original Series Forum Fourteen Years Later'' medallion is ... And the ``Revealing The Problem I Suffered From Until I Was Like Thirty-Six'' this week is ... (It's a terrible problem to suffer from. Please, no pity; all we need are chances to show we can be part of civilized society anyway, and some of us overcome our whistling impairments.) The collaborative ``Open Public Records Compliance'' certificate is for ... Oddly reminding me that it's 80s night at our local hipster bar tomorrow (it really is) is ... Taking possession of the cherished ``Homer's Cursed Frogurt'' this week is ... My ``Slightly Self-Conscious Belly-Laugh Of The Week'' was ... And, you know, just nailing the episode in three sentences is: There was just the one Photoshop entry this time around, but when it's this good, that's all we need: And now for our new set of caption topics --- the Temporal Cold War turns kind of hot-ish momentarily if it ever happened at all! Good luck working out the identity of Future Guy! He's Travis Mayweather. I'm sorry to have no shots of T'Pol's head this time around, but trust that won't stop people from good captioning.
Travis: I have the conn! "Travis Mayweather", they said, "You have the conn". THEY KNOW WHO I AM! Spacedock Security: Hey! All crewmen were supposed to have disembarked an hour ago! Security to Command, we've got a stowaway..
SULIBAN: Sorry sir, there's been no change. Kirk still succeeds Pike as Captain of the Enterprise. FUTURE GUY: Oh...my DANIELS: Well? ARCHER: You're right, future acid is some powerful shit REED: Damn a hologram. Archer's been phoning it in from Earth all this time. SULIBAN: But Airlock Archer doesn't start till Season threeeeee...
On this occasion of First Contact, it is my honour to present you with this broken CD I found in the back of my truck. ARCHER: Who left this life-size mannequin of Travis in my chair? C'mon guys, that's just creepy. Oh wow, I love this song! Come on, Captain Archer, let's dance like it's 2999. SPLOOT!!! NAMELESS MOOK: I'd say this time his performance is literally half-assed.
Future Guy: Tell Spock to tone the Lens flares down Archer: Daniels, are you on the same shit as Berman and Braga?!
MAYWEATHER: It's finally happened. The thing I wanted since joining Starfleet. Captain of my own ship. Attention all hands, this is Captain Travis Mayweather. Prepare for launch. EVERYONE: Who?
TFTW Suliban: Hello future guy, I'm a bit tied up at the moment but my colleague will be with you shortly. He's just taking a piss. Archer: I appreciate the gift but we don't use CD's anymore. Plus I hate Miley Cyrus. Archer: OK Mayweather, you've had your ten minutes pretending to be captain, now it's time to go and do some colouring-in. Alien: Well you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, no time to talk. Ha ha ha ha, stayin alive, stayin alive. Archer: Why is that timeline over there so screwed up? Daniels: Some guy called the doctor. We just ignore him. Alien: Ha, you idiot. You'll never hit me from that dista.... Archer: I'm out of phase so can walk through walls. Reed: Aaand yet, not falling through the floor. Suliban: This show sucks. I'm outta heeeeeerre
Sex dungeons of the future. Yeesh. At least it ... looks clean? ARCHER: I told you that if you didn't stop playing and get back to work I would throw your toys out the airlock. TRAVIS: But that was a collectable!!! ARCHER: @&%$ Trekkies....
Mayweather: Aye sir, full impulse! Reed: *mutters as he hands Trip his weekly food rations* Bloody Hell Trip: Told you he'd still say that sitting on the Captain's chair Archer: Those glyphs...They are constellations
Archer: I'd like to present to you a DVD containing footage of our First Annual Talent Show. It includes Commander Tucker playing his harmonica while Ensign Mayweather does something called "twerking". Maybe , after you watch it, you can tell US what it means. Travis: Alright...who left the whoopee cushion on the Captain's chair? Archer: Dang! I GET it now! Daniels is Ziggy!
Contract negotiations didn't go so well..... Damn genetic enhancements didn't include a parachute or jet pack
