Suppose a future episode of Enterprise featured Frank Finlay as a dog breeder, the one who sold Captain Archer his beagle Porthos? Or is this just too strange a thought to contemplate?

Well, I was going to suggest Frank Inn, but since he died last year, that’s not exactly workable. Maybe Joe Camp instead?
Although I do like the Frank Finlay idea. Has a certain twisted appeal. On that same train of thought, and this definitely is one I’d make an appointment to watch, Brian Blessed??? 🙂
Oh, I can imagine that now. 🙂
RICHARD: Osmont!
ARCHER: (sheepish) It’s Archer, sir. Jonathan Archer.
RICHARD: (puffed up) Isn’t that what I said, Egbert? And where’s Harry? Harry!
TRIP: Wrong show, sir.
RICHARD: Wrong show? Harrumph.
