I’m going to stop doing day numbers now, since I went on vaction and then took some extra time off. But now that it’s been pointed out that maybe, just maybe, taking a week is pushing it, I’m starting back up ^_^ Slow start, though.

I’ve given up watching Enterprise Season Three again. I read ahead in the episode summaries and realised no power in the verse could get me to watch tem at the best of times, much less while exercising, which was the original point. I’ll try them again some time in the future, maybe. I might just buy the whole series and skip ahead to the post-Xindi!crap parts of season four.
Instead, I’ve started Lost Season Three (what is it with me and third seasons?), so now that I’m not slacking off anymore, I should be posting more time on the recumbant bike, or doing Free Step. I don’t expect to be doing episode rants for Lost, though; I love it ^_^
Wii Fit Day Nineteen
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.

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

Episode Rant
- North Star: Star Trek: Enterprise #61 (Season Three, Episode 9)
Not much of a rant this time. The episode is more like the earlier seasons, and only touches on the disastrous Xindi plot line briefly. It’s a genera staple: the crew encounters a colony of humans that were transported from Earth to be slave labour, and having over-thrown (and massacred) their captors now thrive without advancing technologically. In this case, it’s an old west style society.
They kept the expected scenes, from the painful moment when Trip tries to figure out how to make a horse go, to the sheriff getting a barber shave, to running past the bullets in the shoot out. (Of course, there’s a shoot out.)
A bit of self righteousness in the “you must think we’re barbarians” moment, and of course the bull about humans having moved on from intolerance (*cough*xindi*cough*vulcans*cough*), but they’re short so overall the episode is fun.
Malcolm only gets to hit one person during the shoot-out, and it’s the peon who starts it meaning he starts it. However, he gets extra points for stunning T’Pol when she’s taken hostage in the stereotypical scene, and then, a shrug and smile, shooting the guy who grabbed her
