Enterprise S1E23 - "Desert Crossing"

Trip and Archer meet up with a gregarious desert dweller and become friends with him (by playing topless space-lacrosse), only to find out some oppressive politicians on the guy's planet consider him a terrorist. Hmm. Oh, also they have to cross a desert and get really thirsty.

The Wolf Man

In this "classic" "monster" movie a guy gets bitten by a Wolf Man so then he every now and then turns into a different Wolf Man and acts a damn fool. It's fine I guess - it's the 40s so how can you criticize the makeup or acting or gender politics of when the main dude basically forces himself on an engaged lady because he's that sort of doughy leading man type of pre-1960? Well, it is 1941 so I do think you can criticize the reprehensible nature of implying this Wolf Man thing is the fault of movieland gypsies while the Nazis are rounding up real live gypsies and putting them in concentration camps. Uh, but, like, go Classic Universal Monsters???
