The Daily Teaser — 16-8-2013: Thank God It’s Friday … !

Oh, hang on … !

I have to admit, I’ve got last night’s episode of Star Trek: Enterprise on.

It’s all very exciting stuff.

The crew are chasing down a bunch of Osarian pirates who’ve nicked quite a lot of the ship’s fuel and supplies.

As it turns out … ?   The pirates ALSO know a few bits about the Xindi: this season’s dastardly enemy, who’ve been dastardly doing dastardly stuff for at least a fortnight.

And managed to get Captain Archer really cross … !

Like I say, it’s ALL very exciting …
