Connor Trinneer: Are you sure this
is going to work?
Jolene Blalock: It was the best I could do on
short notice, sorry. I didn't have much in the garage.
Trinneer: It's just that those holes don't really
look big enough to be getting through. I'm just sayin'.
Blalock: It's all camera tricks. When I was on
Stargate the last time, the actual props are
half that size.
Trinneer: Maybe they're different on Stargate:
Atlantis.
Blalock: Your character doesn't even go
through a gate!
Trinneer: I'm just being thorough! It's got potential
to be a recurring role and I want to study up.

July 4, 2005: Yep,
it's that time again. Happy Birthday to TripHammered! My
site turns three today, with the help of generous friends
like rainwoman, wombat61, Tripper, and myst, and with my
great and humble thanks to you my readers. It is my privilege
and joy to do what I can to make you smile, and think. We'll
be thinking about new things this coming year, but ENT and
Trip are never going away.
Minor tweak to v3.1: "Support" has
been retired (we did our best, though), and "Off-Topic" is
now officially promoted to the nav bar. This is where everything
which doesn't focus on Trip or ENT will be found, like material
about other Treks and Battlestar Galactica.
Speaking of BSG, since it airs late on Friday
nights, hubby and I watch it at some non-standard time over
the weekend. It's my intention to offer commentary -- not
as detailed as I did on ENT, I think -- on those episodes.
(S2 starts July 15 and runs 10 eps, and then the second 10
eps start in January.) However, I won't be staying up late
on Fridays to post my comments as I did with ENT, so starting
this week, I'm switching my weekly posting day to Monday.
We'll see how it works out as the season progresses.
I do have other ENT material in the works as
we speak, and I'll probably pair up the BSG comments with
Trek-related things like Get Me Rewrite or more ENTLibs through
the summer.
Safe and Happy Fourth of July to all!
July 11, 2005: Woo! lots of content.
First, we have another TOS Get
Me Rewrite! from "The Galileo Seven."
As a special treat, xeyes went through
some old Get Me Rewrites and put together a story linking
several photos. It was too good to jam in with internal links,
so I've given it its own page, Every
Picture Tells a Story.
Off-topic, I've posted my first BSG2K commentary,
on the S1 episode "Colonial
Day." The U.S. season 2 premiere of BSG2K is Friday,
so I hope to have comments up next Monday.
Finally, we got out to see Batman Begins and Fantastic
4 this weekend, so I've done combined commentary on
both those films.
July 18, 2005: Going Off-Topic, we have commentary on the BSG
S2 premiere, "Scattered,"
as well as "Kobol's
Last Gleaming" (both parts in one commentary, since
I saw it as one two-hour episode and it makes more sense that
way). I'm not adding photos to those commentaries right now,
primarily because SCI-FI doesn't come in well for me and I
dislike posting blurry, fuzzy, or grainy photos, but also
because this is still primarily an ENT site and I don't want
to drift too far from TripHammered's mission by loading up
on images from another show.
July 20, 2005: Bittersweet but appropriate
that our GMR photo features Scotty -- Jimmy Doohan died Wednesday
morning at his home. A bit of his ashes will be launched into
space like Gene's. RIP, Jimmy -- you were one of the best.
July 25, 2005: An embarrassment of riches.
I've posted FULL-SPOILER commentary on Harry
Potter VI (upshot: it was good). xeyes brings us two
more chapters of Every
Picture Tells a Story, for pages 2 and 3 of Get Me Rewrite.
Finally, I have comments on BSG's "Valley
of Darkness," which isn't as long as the previous
ones because the episode wasn't as dense.

Archer: Shran! Are you all right?
Shran: I'm fine, Captain. I've been thrown out
of better dives than this.
Archer: Not by the men's room attendant.
Shran: He grabbed my a--
Archer: Oh, look at the time. Should I call you
a cab?
Shran: Is that some kind of pinkskin insult?
Archer: Uh, no, I just meant that you shouldn't
be piloting home after all that ale.
Shran: No need. By the time I'm done thrashing
that miserable little worm for pulling on my antenna,
I'll be sober as a judge.
Archer: That'll help for when you're dragged
in front of a magistrate for brawling.
Shran: Remind me why I went pubcrawling with
you?
Archer: How's your next column coming?
Shran: Help me up. It's your turn to buy a round,
as I recall.

August 1, 2005: Okay, so "Tripping
the Rift," SCI-FI's CGI "South Park in Space,"
finally started its second season last Wednesday. In the opening
credits, rather like Bart writing something different on the
blackboard every week in "The Simpsons," the HAL-parody
computer Bob has some wiseass remark to make. And the first
line of dialogue we hear after the show's been away for a
year is "Does anybody really care that 'Enterprise' was
cancelled?" Yes, in point of fact, a whole buttload
of your audience does, you nimrods! Did the writers
forget what channel they're on? The second episode of the
night featured a strip bar with a shattered NCC-1701 parked
outside and a drunken Vulcan staggering out to piss on the
bouncer's shoes and then collapsing on the tarmac, and T'Nuk
(the ugly six-legged horse-like alien pilot) claiming she'd
slept with a Vulcan on Mount Seleya and then he burst into
tears afterwards. Charming. Plus the quality of the animation
has gone down, and I don't like Carmen Electra as the voice
of Six (no relation to the Six on BSG). All in all, very disappointing.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: very weird, much more faithful to Dahl's book, a lot of unconnected
laugh-out-loud hilarious lines, good performances all around.
Moogie didn't care for it, but I liked it for what it was
and not as a replacement for the irreplaceable Gene Wilder.
Commentary for "Fragged"
is up. I'll run a new "Get Me Rewrite!" next week.
August 8, 2005: An ENT Get
Me Rewrite this week, with more Shran. We also have a
funny photo generously donated by Ligiea, of Triphammer
Road in upstate New York. No really.
And commentary for "Resistance" is
up.
August 15, 2005: Buon Ferragosto! We'll
leave Get Me Rewrite up for another week. Either this just
isn't that good or everyone's on vacation.
Okay, I'm officially tired of the Trek-bashing
on "Tripping the Rift." Guys, you aren't funny enough
any more to counteract that hostility. Grow up already.
Commentary for "The
Farm" is up.
And BONUS news: Connor told a con this weekend
that he's landed a guest spot on Stargate: Atlantis, playing
the
title character in the episode "Michael." I'll advise when I find out
when it's
airing.
I'm so glad he's working!
August 23, 2005: Commentary for "Home,
part 1"
is now up.
Oh, and it turns out that the Trinneers are
expecting a baby boy in October, not a girl as previously
reported. But tante auguri regardless!
August 29, 2005: Sorry about the name
confusion, but the IMDb and SCI-FI had different names for
the episodes. "Home,
Part 2" commentary (which IMDb was calling "The
Raid") is up.
September 5, 2005: We have an all-new
"Dear Shrannie"
column this week.

Kirk: Ah, yes, a styrofoam rock,
a redshirt, and thou. I couldn't ask for a better anniversary
celebration.
Spock: Captain, your shirt is not yet ripped.
Kirk: All in good time, Mister Spock. The night
is young.
Redshirt (muttering): And the clichés
are thick enough to walk on.

September 8, 2005: Happy 39th to our
beloved franchise!
September 12, 2005: Ah, September. Days
are getting cooler, leaves are turning colors, and everyone's
obeying that Pavolvian summons to head back
to school.
Commentary for "Final
Cut" is up. There are two more episodes for the first
half of the season, and then it goes into repeats until January,
when the second 10 eps are broadcast. Unconfirmed rumors report
that BSG has been given a third season ('cause they'd be colossal
idiots not to).
September 19, 2005: I have a few things planned for the break between the end
of this half of the BSG season and the beginning of the second
half in January, so don't be a stranger! In the meantime,
commentary for "Flight
of the Phoenix" is up.
September 26, 2005: Commentary for "Pegasus"
is up. A lot to think about over the break.
And a little fun list, which I co-wrote with
my best friend John several years ago: "Why
Did the Trek Chicken Cross the Road?" Next week is
a VOY "Get Me Rewrite!" and then I have more ENT
stuff in the works.
