Enterprise: Episode 48 - COGENITOR

"Enterprise encounters the Vissians, a more technologically advanced species, and Trip finds himself transfixed on the fact the Vissians are a three-sexed species"

The Trip episodes really are the best ones. So Archer makes good friends with the race and for once an alien species are not jerks. They have a third-sex (a Cogenitor), sort of a transgendered person (if thats the right term). They use these people to reproduce, somehow. But they have no names, no rights and are basically owned by the "normal" people. Trip befriends this person and teaches it to read and tells it to stand up for itself. So it does, but to no avail. Also one of the female aliens is blatenly trying to bang Reed.

So in probably one of the best twist endings in Trek history, the Cogenitor commits suicide! And Archer rips Trip a new one for interfering and blames him for the Cogenitors death, episode done. Final Note: Trip has the Cogenitor watch a movie...and it's The Day The Earth Stood Still. Guest stars include G'Kar from Babylon 5 and Grace from Joan of Arcadia.

You know, I love Star Trek, but they are seriously weak with their alien designs. It seems like they tried harder in the original series. When you think about it, every cool alien was introduced in that series.

Enterprise is by far the weakest. They either look like they have a face full of colored oatmeal or raised eye sockets. That's about it.

Someday I may actually watch Dr. Who, but I just don't see how it can possibly be good. It's not better than "Tour of Duty" or "China Beach"!!
