Anyone besides me see the episode tonight.  I thought it was pretty cool.

And I'm not easily impressed - Wow, a blue car!

I'm about halfway through it and wondering what the hell is up with T'Pol

[Kortez]

I thought it was a tremendous disappointment and let down, especially after a cool last episode.  They are back on terrible episodes again.

I guess this show is not going to be back.

Boy, is this going to be controversial.  Archer makes Sisko from "In the Pale Moonlight" look like a jaywalker by comparison.

[TheJudge]

I liked this episode after watching it twice through.  T'Pol's behavior throughout the last few episodes was finally explained and is a nice rehash of the drug addiction...except in a vulcan.  Then there was the whole Archer going pirate in order to save Earth.

It fits into the current geo-political situation in regards to the War on Terrorism.  Is Archer's act of piracy, the attack and theft of a warp coil from an alien species truly justified?  It makes for a lot of uncomfortable issues and is reminiscent of the Picard debate in First Contact with the Alfre Woodward character.

T'Pol seeking emotions is almost impossible to believe, even in light of her experience with the Vulcans who forced emotions upon her.  I suppose one might say that lead to her action, but I just see it as further BAD writing.

The  only surprise, for me, was seeing the alien who's manipulating things and that she-he-or-whatever is not a known race.  THAT surprised me.  I was wrong thinking it was, well, never mind ... but being wrong is a good thing.  Like the God Emperor of Dune, I want to be surprised in these shows.

Mebbe the whole seeking emotions thing is a by product of being exposed to the trellium in the exspanse.

Kind of like smoking, or heroin once you get a taste its hard to stop. You start making stupid decisions that would not normally make. So she starts exploring emotions further.

She was already exposed to empoints in a past season when that group of Vulcan emotion cultist were allowed on the Enterprise. So she has already opened Pandora's box.

The Trellium exsposure has simply kicked open the door.

Besides I liked it when she turned into a vulcan Zombie in the shower with Tripp!

I don't think the episode is bad, but, if you don't look at it the right way, it would seem worse.  Don't look at it as the conclusion to Azati Prime, rather as the continuation of the conclusion's mini-arc.

[Gambler]

Decent episode but I cannot condone the actions taken by Archer to steal the warp coil from the other ship, causing damage to it in the process.  Sure you left them *some* food.  Sure you left them *some* trellium to shield themselves.  But they have also been left helpless in the expanse.  Open to attack by anyone.  Not the best way to win friends and influence people.

It was in fact Casey "Damar" Biggs as the unfortunate victim, which made me all the more angry at Archer.


"Oh no, you are not about to do that to Damar!"

Yeah, your right. He was such a cool character... I think they made a mockery of him by putting him in as a cheasy irrelivant character which only has a token few lines.
