Isn't it the all-brown ones that produce chocolate milk?
What about the brown and white cows? Do they not have rights or is it their jobs just to give us chocolate milk?

Your welcome, Data. The best use of this clip is with the gazelle speech, though. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unCL8uSMuC0[/yt]

I don't have the hate for the Gazelle Speech that others have, I think it was forced but made a good point in the eps, that was a funny piece of edit.

The Data edit just makes it complete. The speech, itself, just doesn't convey exploration and overcoming dangers as the analogy to gazelles doesn't really work. That development is natural and inevitable, unlike technology. Also, the dangers for the gazelle are natural evolutionary ones, unlike those from technological innovation and exploration.
Had they used an event like Apollo 1 burning (thanks scotpens), or the Challenger disaster as analogy for the dangers risks that need to be faced and overcome the speech would have worked better. Basically something like Kirk's Risk speech was needed, as it was, not horrible, just gazelles learning to walk are not terribly effective for Archer's point.

Are you referring to the 1967 launch-pad fire that killed three astronauts? That capsule was retroactively named Apollo 1. Apollo 7 was the first manned mission of the Apollo program, and it was a complete success.

Oh, yes, I goofed on the launch pad fire, didn't I. Thanks for catching that. Now, to the edit button.

I think most people can make more of a jump in interpreting analogies than "hey, let's compare different levels of advancement in spaceflight!" The analogy in this case was between human babies and humanity's shambling approach to learning in general, not gazelles. If anything, the Vulcans are meant to see themselves as gazelles in that story. No doubt because of the shared pointy ear features. That said, that really was a horrible piece of writing. What a shit show!

This thread has taken a turn to the awesome. We should have an annual BBS prize night, like the Tony's, but with more melodrama!

As an outsider - I hope the black people exact a bit of revenge for the last five centuries or so. It would be most amusing
