What did I miss?

T'Pau went into pon-farr heat before the 7 year cycle- nice ratings ploy to get her writhing around in little clothing), and Archer captured by a Tellarite bounty hunter. You didn't miss any exceptional episodes.

I hear ya, Phlabb--but ol' Dr. Phlox just kept fend off her advances. Professional ethics and such. I think he might be gay.

Speaking of disturbing lessons and Dr. Phlox... how about the time Phlox's wife came on board... and she was trying to get with Trip. Dr. Phlox was all encouraging him, becuase their culture 'likes to get around'.

That's a crazy lesson!

Turns out this 'progenerate' type gender is treated almost as slaves and Trip realized 'she' was smarter than they gave her credit for and LEARNED her how to read and some ...[text shortened]... .. since it goes against every other lesson I've learned from Star Trek.

If you can outrun the cops, they won't show up later at your farm to arrest you.

Since all the lessons I ever learned from TV came from Trek, it will be difficult for me to participate if you exclude it.

your fragile geek bones couldn't take the ride. but what a hell of a way to go!


one of the greatest lessons of enterprise, is that no matter how far in the future you go, water polo is still pretty damn lame.

If you are in a 'sticky' situation, all you need is a Swiss made pocket knife, some string, a lighter and you'll get out.

Oooohhh! Almost forgot. I learned one lesson from TV, and it was a show I didn't even watch. In 7th Grade, a large percent of the populace went crazy for this miniseries called Roots. It caused me no end of pain and suffering at school, plus, as it was later revealed the the author "embellished much of the story" (translation: he lied, so the book belongs in the "fiction" section) it is proved once again that if you tell a big enough lie, for a long enough period of time, the moron factor will kick in and most people will believe it.

I learnt from, American History X, not to bite kerbs and let people bounce on my head.

Good movie.Another lesson from it is to be very careful when taking a shower in the joint!
