    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This episode contains the first Star Trek female nude scene presented in a sexual context. Numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) showed or implied nudity, but in strictly non-sexual contexts (e.g. art classes, nudist living, torture, streaking in protest, etc.), and Who Mourns for Morn? (1998) (which featured Quark being seduced by a lady in a bathtub) came as close as being sensual. This episode aired in the United States on 11 February 2004 during the height of controversy over Janet Jackson exposing a breast during the Super Bowl halftime show, on a network owned by CBS (which was taking heat for the incident). As a result, the scene in which T'Pol's rear end is exposed was censored. Canadian broadcasts, however, were uncensored.

    • Quotes

      [Tucker and T'Pol in another neuro-pressure session]

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You aren't saying much tonight. Don't tell me you're still upset about me and Amanda.

      Sub-Commander T'Pol: No, I'm not upset.

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Sure sounds like it.

      Sub-Commander T'Pol: You're mistaken.

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Why would a few neuro-pressure sessions between me and a MACO be such a big deal? Unless...

      Sub-Commander T'Pol: Unless what?

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Unless you're... a little jealous.

      Sub-Commander T'Pol: I don't experience jealousy.

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You're doing a pretty fair imitation of it.

      Sub-Commander T'Pol: I am not, in any way, jealous of you and Corporal Cole.

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You know, your voice is tensing up. It's a dead giveaway.

      Sub-Commander T'Pol: I didn't know you were an expert in vocal inflections.

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I don't need to be an expert to read you. Come on, admit it. You're a little jealous.

      Sub-Commander T'Pol: You're implying that I'm attracted to you?

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That kinda goes along with the assumption, doesn't it?

    This should be entitled 'Turf Wars...and Sex'.
    This is an episode where I felt like yelling at some of the characters to SHUT UP and stop with the hostility! First, Lt. Reed and Hayes are having a turf war where both guys seem to be engaged in some macho theatrics to prove who has a bigger...um...role on the ship. Second, Trip begins showing the Vulcan neuropressure to a cute marine--and T'Pol seems a bit miffed. Also, crew members start talking about this as well...and Trip is just wondering why anyone cares. Third, Enterprise locates a capsule in space where there is a dying alien-- and when they rescue him and try to save him, the alien is angry!! What's with all the anger in this episode?!

    This is not a particularly good episode. The macho theatrics are, at times, a bit embarrassing. In addition, it's obvious that the show is willing to do anything to get fans--including showing LOTS of skin. The opening scene and a sex scene Trip (with LOTS of skin) make it obvious how desperate the makes of the show have become in order to get folks to watch. The only thing I really liked about this episode was the final scene between Archer and the alien...that was pretty cool!
