  1. The key to doing covers is to do something different with them. Some of the best covers I have ever heard usually take the original and play it with a different style of music.

     

    I still remember the punk band I once heard do a cover of "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood". Let's just say I will never hear that song the same way again. :jaw:

     

    The funniest cover I ever heard was the Austin Lounge Lizards doing Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" as a bluegrass tune. :laugh:

     

    Sometimes, a cover can be better than the original. I remember once hearing a jazz band cover Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love". Frank Sinatra made a career of doing covers better than the originals: "New York, New York" and "My Way" come to mind. Who can forget David Lee Roth's cover of "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody"? (I know they were originally separate songs, but he brought them together quite well) Sinead O'Conner's cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U" is so much more heart-wrenching than Prince's version, even though he wrote it.


  2. TUH,

    I agree with the comments in your spoiler. I also like the idea about the female scientist (a romantic interest for Phlox, perhaps?).

     

    My ideas:

     

    1. More Phlox. I don't mean episodes centered on him, just more involved in the stories.

     

    2. T'pol & Trip is a nice little diversion. It must end. Archer & T'pol is the way to go. ;)

     

    3. Go back to the happy-go-lucky Trip.
