Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "The Catwalk". This is a tightly-written Sussman/Strong episode that sees the whole crew of the Enterprise, some alien refugees, and a number of resident animals (including dear Porthos) take refuge in the crawlspace that runs the length of each nacelle. Dealing with the massive radiation storm in space would be bad enough, but if the alien militia trying to take ove...

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Precious Cargo". It's Enterprise's take on "The African Queen", guest starring Padma Lakshmi, of "Top Chef" fame. Trip finds out that the cargo is a kidnapped royal heir, and a hectic rescue-romance ensues, culminating in an actual swamp. But you won't catch Connor in that marshy water twice... not if his ears have anything to say about it!

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Vanishing Point", joined by the episode's director, David Straiton. It's Linda Park's time to shine as, ironically, Hoshi gradually fades away in this half-horror, half-mystery. Will the translator end up losing her voice forever, and be spoken of in hushed tones as the next Cyrus Ramsey? (To be sure, as Trek transporter mishaps go, this one is actually one of the l...

The Klingons learn a hard lesson here: teach a man to build a fire, and he will be warm for the night. Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

There's a mad dash to save Porthos and Archer is getting increasingly antsy... and horny. Along the way, we have a funeral in the rain, a bat caper, Freudian (Pillarian?) slips, and a human centipede of decon chamber delight. What's not to like, really?

Paul Giamatti is an actor's actor, and someone we have admired for a very long time, even before he joined the annals of Trek as Nus(topher??) Braka in "Starfleet Academy". We were so lucky to get him in the Chamber this week, where we chinwagged a bit about his life and career, from Yale and beyond, and got to pick his brain a bit about the new show.
