ost_uid0]Actually, I [i
ost_uid0]greatly[/i
ost_uid0] enjoyed "A Night in Sickbay." Â (I said so at the time, but that was at least one forum ago.) Â The concept should never have even been considered, but the execution was great. Â So those of you who've spoken up for the episode, you're not alone.
The concept, however, wasn't just bad, it was mind-crushingly bad. Â So bad that for all the fun I had watching it, I'd much rather it had just never happened. Â The Archer/T'Pol friendship had been carefully, believably built right up to that point, and now it's impossible to look at them in just that way anymore. Â It was a terrible mistake for the series to trade a realistic relationship for one with a trashy T&A side.[/color

ost_uid0]At the time the ep initially aired, I recall commenting here on a pervasive surreal quality I thought it had. I find that if I consider [i
ost_uid0]ANiS[/i
ost_uid0] to be some sort of brilliantly absurdist bad dream with no connection to any other ENT reality, no problems exist.
Of course, the hardcore Continuity Weasels might have a problem with [i
ost_uid0]that[/i
ost_uid0], but I'll manage.
