Enterprise: Episode 12 - SILENT ENEMY

"Archer faces an enemy that doesn't respond to hails while Hoshi tries to find what Malcolm's favorite food is to surprise him for his birthday."

Again the stumble upon aliens with attitudes. They are not interested in talking, just fighting. They disable everything and board the ship. They look a bit like the Mars Attacks aliens, so for once  on this show they actually look like a stereotype. How come they never made them look like the aliens form the movie Spaced Invaders? The commercial showed them singing "Louie, Louie", I go to the theater to see this piece of garbage specifically to see this scene ... and it never happens!! I was so pissed.

Archer actually questions the fact that the Enterprise left dock without even testing anything. Which is funny. Trip and Malcolm are hustling to install Phase Cannons that have never even been put in. Trip's Earth girlfriend breaks up with him, It's pretty tough to get over your boyfriend getting knocked up by an alien chick. Especially when she's black. Anyway, they finally install them and give those mysterious spacemen the beat down.

Side Plot: Hoshi has an impossible time trying to find out Malcolm's favorite food for his surprise birthday dinner. She asks his parents; they evidently hate him. She asks his sister; she evidently could care less about him. She asks his best friend; he evidently barely remembers him. She asks him; he evidently is autistic.
 But Dr. Phlox figures it out ... it's pineapple. They make him a cake. I must say this, I really like Dr. Phlox - he has to be the most likable character in Star Trek history.

So yeah, I watched two episodes today and then I watched "Let Me In" for the first time. I watched the Swedish "Let the Right One In" and liked it. The English one was just as good, it was easier to follow at least. Thanks to Capt. Naps for pointing out that "she" was really a "he" with a chopped off penis. Never would have figured that out from the movie. Also both movies are filmed in Vomit-Vision. Black and White, Puke Olive Green and Diarrhea Brown. That's the extent of the colors in these films.
