->Archer heads on over to Sickbay, where he will soon be spending "a night". He finds his dog Porthos inside one of those plexiglass boxes with gloves that they use for premies. Dr. Phlox says Archer can pet his dog, but only with the gloves. He explains that Porthos picked up a pathogen on the planet's surface, which is causing his immune system to break down, and it could be life-threatening.\\\
And now, the complete [[CharacterDerailment character assassination]] of Jonathon Archer can begin in earnest. Archer, now faced with the prospect of his pet dying due to a pathogen picked up on an alien planet, begins to blame... [[NeverMyFault the alien species?]]

->Given that Tegan has fairly reliably been used as [[MoralityChain a moral mouthpiece]] in the series, and given that the Doctor is shown to be very much shaken by her departure, it’s clear that we have to take this seriously as part of the point of the story...So why doesn’t it work? Part of it is, ironically, that this is the one bit of the series’ past that you can’t take this approach with... Even if the final sequence hadn’t looked for all the world like [[{{Narm}} Davros and the Daleks ejaculating themselves to death]], the idea of Tegan being horrified by a bunch of Daleks exploding just doesn’t quite wash. There’s just too much history of enjoying Daleks slaughtering everybody to use them as the basis of this critique.

->It just goes to show how bankrupt the writers of ''{{Film/Glitter}}'' were when writing the script... Billie gets taken away from her mother because her mother cannot support her and I think because she is an addict (can’t really say, the writing is terrible). The main dramatic element is Billie trying to deal with that, and asking why her mother would do such a thing. I’m sorry, but contrast that to what Music/JohnnyCash had to go through in his life, I look at this movie and say 'so f*cking what?' Oh and maybe a 'boo freaking hoo' thrown in for good measure. This does not really qualify as an underdog story and I’m not going to sit through two hours of [[{{Wangst}} melodramatic camp]] about how bad you had it. We all got it bad lady and your story doesn’t exactly qualify as being all that special or a hard knock life.

->''"When no one was looking, Lex Luthor took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens, and represents an NK-class [[ApocalypseHow end of the world scenario]] in which the entire planet, and then the universe, is [[GreyGoo overrun by cake]]. And that's terrible."''

->''"We’ve known all along that DoctorOctopus had sinister designs in mind, of course, but really: a lab in a penthouse? That seems to violate any number of good safety rules. Surely a ground-floor lab would make evacuation in case of fire much easier, while a top-floor location could result in dangerous chemicals leaking through the floor into the living room of the hapless tenants below. I’m not so much ''angry'' with Doc Ock as I am ''disappointed''.”''

->''"Is this supposed to be some kind of rape allegory? Because having Borg implants removed from Seven against her will [[SpaceWhaleAesop doesn’t quite cover it]]... in fact it's so oddly inoffensive I find the implications of the theme quite offensive."''

->''"I’m having real problems this year with finding any great originality in this show, and the scenes of Seven remembering her ordeal are extremely reminiscent of similar scenes in ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]]''’s Schisms. Have they simply [[FleetingDemographicRule run out of plots]] and are just doing the ''TNG'' rounds? Is this supposed to be some kind of rape allegory? Because having Borg implants removed from Seven against her will [[SpaceWhaleAesop doesn’t quite cover it]]... in fact it's so oddly inoffensive I find the implications of the theme quite offensive."''

->''"Finally we meet this {{evil twin}} of Sam’s who [[TheDreaded we have been foreshadowing]] since ''Alien Bodies'', and she’s no where near as scary or memorable as she should be. Okay so she takes drugs and works in a video shop, is irritatingly cynical and suspicious and a bit of a lazy bum when it comes to working out her issues but to be frank she isn’t all that different to Blonde Sam...the only thing that really changes is her hair."''
