81. Neelix’s Kitchen Nightmares

Welcome to Neelix’s Kitchen Nightmares you doughnuts! I’m Gordon Ramsey and we’ve got three meals for you to shove in your face from three questionable kitchens. Neelix’s kitchen’s covered in fluff and filth and seems to have been made in a large office meeting room. Will his food help Seven of Nine in “The Raven” or will it bring back dire flashbacks? I think we all know how it’s going to go. Next up is the unnamed chef of the Enterprise who actually has a full kitchen. Hoshi Sato comes in and takes over, does she think she’s me or something? She gets the job done, possibly a bit too much in “Singularity”. Also there’s some delightful nonsense with a chair. Finally William T Riker’s got the midlife crisis giant pizza oven out for a visit from his space dad, JL Picard in “Nepenthe”. Has he got what it takes, or will this episode and pizza both be undercooked? Whatever it is, it’s better than the replicated cake that gets thrown up all over La Sirena! (This is actually Charlie, I’ve no idea what Gordon Ramsey sounds like, I hope you enjoy the show!)

That’s right, we’ve got not one, not two but three Enterprise episodes as we watch all of the Augment trilogy in one go. Should they be ranked as one episode or three? How much does this want to be Wrath of Khan? Have they stopped with the whole ‘Space War on Terror’ and does Earth look less like a poor Xbox game background?
