• The recent episode 'A Night In Sickbay' was awarded a D grade by reviewer 'Keckler' at Television Without Pity. "It was a puerile romp through a night in the life of a particularly whiny captain, who blames his behavior on his so-called concern for his dog," she wrote.

• Over at the Starfleet Library, C.A. Voigts gave 'Dead Stop' a score of 3 out of 5.

  What a difference a year makes. A year ago, Archer and Trip were surveying the Enterprise and Archer was complaining about a scratch on the paint. This year, the damage is a little more extensive.

  And so I would ask the Halloween-hating parents out there to take a lesson from us sci-fi/fantasy fans. Someone dressed as Darth Vader at a convention isn't trying to summon the Dark Side of the Force or corrupt others into becoming servants of evil. A guy in a Klingon warrior outfit doesn't wish he could chop your head off. Those teenagers dressed as Borg don't wish to become soulless automatons -- quite the opposite, I should think. Villains' costumes are fun in great part because they "tear down the fort."
