My back was sore today, so I decided to just do the Yoga. I wanted to blame the push-ups (the evil, evil push-ups), but based on the twinges it might have been either the spinal twist or the shoulder stand. Oops.

Wii Fit Minutes: 30

I’d wanted to watch all the Enterprise season three episodes and actually pay attention to them, but given how long it’s been since the last one I finally admitted that wouldn’t happen. Since CanFlix will eventually want their discs back, I’ve decided to run them in the background while I play WoW. At least that way I only have to pay attention when I want to

Episode Recap and Rant

• Similitude: Star Trek: Enterprise #62 (Season Three, Episode 10

So, the episode starts with what we’re apparently supposed to think is Trip’s funeral. Of course, anyone who watches the show would know that isn’t what’s happening, and anyone who hadn’t been watching up until this point wouldn’t know who the blonde in the coffin is, so that’s pretty pointless. Oh well.

One of the reasons I was avoiding this one was because I knew it was the return of the shoe-horned Trip/T’Pol relationship, and that comes back from its blessed hiatus immediately after the credits. I’ve always thought this was an odd one to place so much focus on the Vulcan neuropressure sessions, because we’re now supposed to accept that Phlox has absolutely no homoeopathic remedies for insomnia, but he can grow a person. You know, just in case it wasn’t hard enough to accept already.

Anyway, bad things happen, Trip gets zapped, and put into a coma with neural damage. So, then Phlox grows a person with a limited lifespan in order to harvest brain tissue wich will not hurt the clone at all.

And everything goes on predictably from there. Well, maybe the bullshit line about Trip’s memories being recovered as Sim hits the same ages wasn’t too predictable, since you have to first accept that a person’s memories are not only encoded in their DNA, but are time released during the development of anyone else with the exact same DNA structure.

The rest of it is predictable. OMG!Angst over growing a person for tissues, saying “but we have to” and going ahead anyway. Sim falling for T’Pol, including an awkward scene of teenage Sim asking her out. The discovering that Sim will actually die during the procedure (Phlox: oops, my bad). A nice scene with the reappearance of Captain Asshat saying if Sim doesn’t want to do it, Archer will just making him, aka murder him. And then Sim deciding to give his life for the greater cause.

All ending with the funeral scene, Trip in attendance and in frame this time.

Yeah, this was a good one for the background
