Enterprise: Episode 18 - ROGUE

Oh great, an episode that is filmed entirely in the dark. Like those horror movies in which I have no idea what the hell is going on because it’s always night time. Another thing is, how can this planet that is floating aimlessly in space have a jungle, water, atmosphere, wildlife and inhabitants. Unless I missed it, they never explain how. The only people on the planet are a group of three guys that are there to hunt big game … with space aged weapons and technology.  It’s all very conservative. Sarah Palin could be one of these hunters very easily, also the whole rogue thing....whatever.  Archer keeps seeing a blond woman in a nightgown running around. She is some sort of telepathic shape shifter. She tells him that the hunters are really hunting them! To eat?? So confusing. Actually that wouldn’t be a bad idea, you could make them turn into any food that you want. 

Hunter one: “Turn into a ham”
Hunter two: “…couldn’t we have just hunted a pig?”
Hunter one:  “haha…whatever”
Detective Rick Hunter: “turn into Dee Dee McCall … yeow!”
70’s pitcher Catfish Hunter: “I have nothing to add to this conversation”

Archer helps the shape-shifters out, he gives them some elixir that will help disguise them from the hunters. In the end the blond female shape shifter turns into a nasty worm and slithers away … and Archer loses his boner.
