By the way, I watched another episode of Enterprise two nights ago: Oasis, about an alien girl and her father on a ship of holographic crewmen. This was a lot better than last week’s dragging “Ferengi” episode, although I can’t help but roll my eyes at seeing yet another “holodeck” episode, where holographic characters are used as convenient plot devices — centuries before the NextGen holodeck was even introduced!

I’m also somewhat disappointed with the constantly flat portrayal of Jonathan Archer as a wussy captain; I’ve seen almost zero action from him. Come on, screenwriters, you have Scott Frigging Bakula on your cast! Use his skill to the hilt!
