Star Trek: Enterprise 105: Unexpected

Episode Title: Unexpected

 

Director: Mike Vejar

Writer(s):  Rick Berman & Brannon Braga

Wikipedia Synopsis: Trip helps an alien crew fix their engines only to find himself pregnant.

Guest Stars of Note: some greasy aliens

Impressions: So, Trip gets wrist nipples... Jesus Christ, he sucks.

Some greasy lizard aliens ride around cloaked from sensors in the Enterprise's wake and suck up residual energy to make their ship go. As well as cloaking technology, they have a holodeck, and glass beads that make you psychic when you put your hands in them. It seems to me that they could maybe have designed a better engine.

The alien holodeck looks like one of those foil stickers you'd get when you were  kid, you know the ones, they're supposed to have an image on them but they're so poorly made all they do is shine in rainbows. 

Archer falls in the shower at the opening of this episode and I spent the rest of the show wondering how he didn't hurt himself.

 Score: 0 out of 2 wrist nipples

A Statement of Intent From Me

About a year ago I decided to watch every episode of Star Trek in its various incarnations (TV, Movie, whatever) chronologically within continuity. Thus I started with Enterprise, moved on to the original series, then the animated show, then movies, and have now found myself a season and a half into Next Gen. While the enterprise (pun only partly intended) has been noble, I realized I haven't documented my journey at all so I plan to remedy that with this here blog. Hold on to your hats and pity me, for I plan on tackling the entirety of the Star Trek Mythos and I shall record my impressions as I go.
