Wholesome, nice and emotional

I like Carbon creek a lot. It tingles my imagination, at the same time this small town is so wholesome and nice, it's easy to understand why one of them wanted to remain there.

Carbon creek reminds us of what great sci fi is. It's looking into the human condition, how we got where we are and how to move on. It's not big explosions and evil entities.

These 3 vulcans fit in nicely in Carbon Creek, and for me this episode is both wholesome, it tickles my imagination, it's quiet, yet grand because it is warm hearted, respectful and positive.

I also liked the ending where T'Pol in an interesting way aquires money for the boy's college fund, and the very end where she looks at the purse from 1950's Carbon Creek, only she has it in her quarters!
