My final defense in the case of Episode vs. Posters is concerning Quantum's jerktitude in this scene. Look, you all are so VERY painfully aware of how I feel about Quantum, but I did feel that this scene was necessary for the writers to show us they were back to she same-old-same-old. To wit, he's back to being the ass we all love to hate. Or hate to love. I will even go so far to say that the writers are fully aware that his character is a jerk, and they were intentionally playing that up in these last few minutes. It's as if the writers finally nodded to us, and either said, "Yes, we're intentionally writing his character as a jerk," or "You all expect him to be a jerk when everything's normal, so here he is." Maybe they did go a touch too far, seeing that the pillow was in the drawer right next to the silly ass's bed. However, I saw a bit of that Kirk-Spock camaraderie where Kirk is an annoying ass and Spock gives him the silent eye-roll. You realize, don't you, that that's the highest compliment I can give? Good. Mark this date in history, for it might not come again.

Next Week: It's a Fistful of Quantums! Or Spectre of the Vulcan! I think it's entirely possible that every series has done a western in some way, so I can't fault Enterprise for following suit. ["But I think Shack might." -- Sars]
