"green women in tin foil bikinis"

Donâ€™t know if anyone here watches 'ENTERPRISE', but this week's episode did a nifty 3-way tie into Trek history.
Brent Spiner plays a brilliant but sociopathic geneticist with the same last name (Soong) as the A.I. genius that creates Data in TNG. (Noonian Soong)

Evil Dr. Soong is bent upon reviving the eugenics wars, and fostering a race of genetically augmented superfolks. In the opening scene we get to watch a troupe of "Kahnians" whip the tar out of some Klingons. Yee Haaa!

Last but not least, some Enterprise crew are shanghaied by Orion slave traders, and we get to see, yesâ€¦yes! A green Orion slave girl, complete with tin foil bikini!

If you missed it Friday, they replay it on Sunday night.
