Confessions of a Liberal Puritan

. . . especially the Mirror Universe episodes of the past two Fridays.

I keep forgetting to mention, but I continue to get a kick out of this final season of "Star Trek: Enterprise", in spite of the relatively slow pace of developments on the Tripp-T'Pol front (loved Tripp being the only male immune to the Orion women's pheromones, through his enduring telepathic bond with T'Pol, though I wish they'd quit with the Junior High "punching-each-other-on-the-arm-and-running-away" method of dealing with their mutual attraction -- but then, I suppose they wouldn't be Tripp and T'Pol, if they weren't making with the verbal fencing most of the time).

And I thought the latest two episodes, with the different opening and closing credits with darker music and mood in keeping with the darker and more hostile nature of humanity in the Mirror Universe (much as Joss Whedon did with the alternate universe opening credits in the "Buffy" episode "Superstar") did a really interesting job of planting a plausible history for the Original Series episode "Mirror, Mirror" and the backlash that led to the enslavement of Terrans that we encountered a century later in the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" crossover episodes in seasons 3 through 7. ( possibly spoilerish comments about the episodes )

Or maybe I'm just reading WAY too much into this. It happens!
