sumi, what episode were you watching? Is it a new one?

Yes, it aired on Scifi last night. It was called something like "Pride Goes Before the Fall".

Did anyone watch last night's Enterprise?

The episode was called "Observer Effect" I caught the species name of the two aliens and went "Duh!" a little bit later.

Spoiler, if you haven't watched:

The two aliens were Organians. The same species Captain Kirk and the Klingons encountered in the original series episode " Errand of Mercy. " AKA " The light bulb aliens. "

MI-5: poor poor Danny. And next week it looks like it may be poor poor Zoe. In fact, I'm getting the feeling that Danny and Zoe are going to be going through some of the sorts of things that Tom went through in seasons 1 and 2, therebye making Adam look even better as a spy.

RE Citizen Joe, which I've just now watched the beginning of: Who knew "seven years ago" translated to "1957"? *headdesk*

I'm not sure what you mean. Unless you are referring to "1967," the episode where they went back in time. That can be explained by Jack Recalling the events of the story as he wrote his reports. Apparently that is how most of the stories were transmitted to Joe. When Jack reviewed the incidents in his mind, Joe got the mental images because Jack was close enough to the transmitter for Joe to receive again.

The two aliens were

Ah yes! The very aliens who forced the peace treaty between the Klingons and the Federation, thus starting thier cold war.

And no, I didn't see Enterprise. I just wanted to make that comment.

Daniel: I was referring to the costuming/cultural vibe of all of the Joe scenes. I mean, Indiana, yeah, okay, but I felt like I was in a movie that was set sometime in the fifties rather than a scene from a TV show that was supposed to be set in the 90s. It felt like Mayberry or something. The vibe was very weird.

Katie: Oddly enough, it didn't phase me, because there are people that could be exactly like that stereotype going to not only a barbershop a block from my house, but ones like it in small towns all over Minnesota. The only thing that changes are the magazines on the rack and the calander on the wall. They still go bowling, they still have mostly-male clientele, and they still play poker every week. They interact with the real world, and even discuss it, but the place and the people could be right out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

And? I stay away from their temporal distortion fields, for the most part.

Heh. Well, I defer to someone with actual midwestern experience, then.

Tis bittersweet, though, because I live a block from 1957.
