Episode Report Card Keckler: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Hoshi Crack Code and I Sorta Care
By Keckler | Season 3 | Episode 23 | Aired on 05.18.2004
Mega Maid. Snakelings activate stuff and tell Dolum they're almost ready. "Exxxcellent -- inform me when you're ready," Dolum hisses, and says he's off to his tanning bed. Just once I'd like a baddie to Mr. Burns a new word like "Awwwwsome," or "Sssstelllar," or even "Yes, I'm quite pleased by this turn of events. Thank you EVAH so much." Snakelings announce the opening of a vortex and the approach of Three-Toed ships, followed closely by the flying swimming pools of the Aquamen. Dolum orders weapons charged at them.
Enterprise. Reed reports that the enemy ships are staying close to the weapon. "Feel like taking them on?" Quantum asks. "Give me the word, sir," Reed growls. The word is given, Annoying Nephew of Scotty. Quantum looks over at T'Pol, who puffs her lips in acceptance. Quantum comms someone to "cut [them] loose." One of the Aquamen's flying swimming pools opens up from underneath and Enterprise flies out. Neat-o bonito!
The Snake Eyes get word that the humans have come to play. Dolum's eyes bug.
Cool firefight.
Mr. Man orders all ships to concentrate their firepower on Mega Maid.
Enterprise fires on Mega Maid and comes around for another pass.
Dolum wants Enterprise targeted, but is told they can't get past the Aquamen's protection.
More firefighting.
T'Pol locates Hoshi on a Snake Eyes ship, but can't pinpoint her exact location. Quantum orders Hayes and his team over. Why is Hoshi still alive? If she's no longer useful, wouldn't Dolum have killed her by now? He implied as much. I guess he's not a snake of his word.
Firefights.
Hayes and team beam over to the snaky ship and run around.
Dolum's snakeling reports that they've lost eight of their ships and managed to disable only two of their attackers': "We're no match for the Aquatics." Dolum comms a snakeling to deploy Mega Maid, but the snakeling wants five more minutes. Dolum tells him that in another five minutes he and Mega Maid will be destroyed, so...
Elsewhere, Hayes's team attacks a Snake Eyes and zaps him to into an evening bag and a pair of pumps before blowing open a door. Hoshi lies on the floor next to the Aurora chair. I guess T'Pol must have been able to pinpoint her location at last, because these guys knew right where to go. Hoshi is unresponsive to Hayes's "Ensign"ing, and Hayes can't get through to Enterprise. He plops Hoshi over his shoulder, and the team takes off back to the beam-in point.
The Golden Girls decide it's time for them to get involved. And eat more cheesecake in their bathrobes.
