    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The crew of the Enterprise are traveling to the planet of Babel. This is the same planet that the crew of the Enterprise NCC 1701 is going to in Journey to Babel (1967) which was the first appearance of the Andorians and the Tellarites.
    • Goofs
      The actor who plays Talas in parts of the fight scene is clearly a stunt double with much larger breasts than actor Molly Brink's. When Talas first emerges from her quarters, she is wearing a leotard top that completely covers her breasts, and there is no cleavage. During parts of the fight, her breasts are suddenly quite large and spill out of the top, creating deep cleavage. Later in the fight, her breasts are small again.
    • Quotes

      Tellarite Ambassador Gral: I'm told this ship is the pride of Starfleet. I find it small and unimpressive.

      Captain Jonathan Archer: Funny, I was about to say the same thing about you.

    Part one is actually better than part two....but then there is part three.
    This is a very interesting episode because it helps to build the foundations of the Federation--something that you know is coming soon for the human race and their new friends. It's also one that hearkens back to one of the original "Star Trek" episodes--"Journey to Babel", which also features many of the same races.

    The show begins with the Enterprise taking a Tellarite ambassador to a meeting on Babel in order to try to work out their ongoing hostilities with the Andorians. However, soon after, an Anrdorian ship, Shran's, is destroyed and the Enterprise is called to rescue the survivors. Here's the problem--the attacking ship seemed to be Tellurite!! Naturally this makes the upcoming peace conference nearly impossible--and Shran and the Ambassador are ready to kill each other!

    When you see these shows, it's really sad, as this new plot is wonderful and would have been great had the show not been prematurely canceled. Who knows where all this might have gone? Unfortunately, the episode is a great case of just coming too late. Sad because it's so well written and interesting.
