Space Stripper in Heat
It must be sweeps week.
That is the only explanation I have for last night’s episode of Enterprise. It was called “Bounty” and the “main” plot was about Archer being held captive by a bounty hunter. However, the plot that they advertised was all about T’Pol being in heat.
I almost feel sorry for Jolene Blalock because I can’t be the only one who thinks of her as the Striper in Space. I mean, really, she’s in that decontamination chamber every other episode greasing up with “Decon Gel #5” and thrusting her mammaries at the screen. Who do these people think they’re kidding? That’s not story-telling, though it might be considered science-fiction. (I mean, really, can those things be real?) I know their audience is somewhat less than they’d hoped, but I think resorting to T&A just isn’t the way to win viewers. For once, I’d love to get through an entire season of Star Trek without some low-brow, trailer-park-trash alien shaking her “money-maker” at the screen. Is that too much to ask?
Of course, the fun didn’t stop there. When we flipped over to the Cartoon Network and saw “The Family Guy”, which is part of Adult Swim and get more sex. Frankly, I understand why it was pulled from regular TV and put into syndication. So, it wasn’t just Enterprise that stooped to the lowest common denominator, but still….
As my dear, departed grandmother would say, “What’s the world coming to?”…
