Wikipedia Synopsis: A storm traps an away team on an alien world, while spores cause them to experience psychosis.
Guest Stars of Note: None
Impressions: We can tell their flashlights are from the future because they have extra buttons.
So they find a new planet that looks like it can support Human life and with no other research decide to land there and in the end they poison themselves with hallucinogenic pollen. Will they learn their lesson for the next time? Probably not.
On this brave new world Captain Archer decides to bring his dog. So... you know... fuck the native ecology. Also, he just allows the dog to run off willy nilly. What if some large predatory animal was around? Captain Archer won't allow his dog to be transported in the transport beam but will let him run off like a lunatic on an alien planet... he's a very inconsistent pet owner.
Speaking of the transporter they transport somebody up in a wind storm and he ends up on the ship with sticks and rocks embedded in him yet somehow he survives due to the one and only Dr. motherfuckin' Phlox.
Trip becomes a bigger asshole when the paranoia kicks him leading in the end to T'Pol having to stun him which I wish happened somewhere in the first act so I wouldn't have to listen to his assholery.
Mayweather tells a ghost story and you find yourself wishing the plot to that was the plot to this episode.
Have you ever noticed that all alien planets look like California?

Score: 1 out of 4 for the episode, 3 out of 4 for the ghost story, and 8 out of 4 for shooting Trip.
