ost_uid0]Agreed, that was a great episode. Connor Trineer was fantastic -- when he finally broke down in front of T'Pol he almost had me in tears, and that's saying a lot. The episode had great pacing, great dialogue, and it had me glued to the screen for the entire episode (something that hasn't happened in a while). I had to refrain from hanging up on my dad when he called with fifteen minutes left, but fortunately caught the ending in a later showing.
As for the crew shortage, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the first major batch of casualties Enterprise has suffered? However, I wouldn't mind them dropping the occasional reference to them being shorthanded (as Trip did in his final scene when he was trying to fix relays without some of his people).[/color
