4. Ah... another dreamer, eh?

Hey, don't get me wrong, I wrote a letter to SciFi, detailing my reasons for thinking Enterprise would be the ultimate coup for them.

Don't think they'll do it, friend. It's a dirty rotten shame, too, because season 4 under Coto has been outstanding! It's the only thing I make plans to watch every week.

Keepin my fingers crossed.
