[color=#000000ost_uid0]Nothing to say but this: This episode is the exact duplicate of "One" (Voyager), except this time, the doctor halucinates and the babe gets incapacitated. It's not normal how similar these episodes were. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]That's just Enterprise - I finally admit that I'd hate for it to disappear because it's actually going somewhere, and bam!, here comes the blech again.

I can't make fun of it. What joke are you going to crack when it senses all your wisecracks and throws itself into the mud puddle before you can push it in?

Bravo, Paramount. I salute you.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Stupid trailer. The preview for this episode said something about "Phlox is the only one left on the ship and he's losing his mind!" So guess what? When I see T'Pol, I immediately know she's a hallucianation. I probably would've immediately known it anyway, but the trailer didn't even give me the satisfaction of figuring it out for myself.

Otherwise not a bad episode. Just cliched. Didn't really deserve to be a sweeps week episode.

Next week: DS9's "Dramatis Personae" all over again?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Guh? T'Pol was a halucination? Damn, I suppose she was. She never really did anything, or pushed any buttons. Hehe. I never thought of that. I just thought Phlox had another halucination in T'Pols quarters. That makes up for the cliche-part a little bit (not much, though.)[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Did he not think of running scans on T'Pol to see if she was being effected?

Anyway, I thought the part about them trying to figure out how to get the warp engines online was funny.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, I liked it. It was a rip off of Voyager, but I was fooled a bit. At first I was like "Oh, T'pol... he must be hallucinating." but then he was acting the same and she was always with him, so i was like "Oh, maybe he isn't hallucinating her." Then at the end i was like "Arrgh you stupid writers!" and threw the remote. [/colorost_uid0]

That wouldn't have helped, he would just have hallucinated the results.

It does explain why they would travel a quarter of a lightyear in ten weeks at impuls, though.

Just one thing, since when does Phlox sleep? Didn't they spend a whole episode explaining Phlox sleeps only a few days a year?

I figured out T'Pol was a hallucination around the time she told Phlox to look something up she would have been able to tell her. Well, I suspected it then, it wasn't confirmed until she didn't do anything at all in engeneering.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Heh. I suppose I'm just stupid then. But she could just have been affected by the radiation-field and forgotten everything.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, I thought this episode rocked. But it may have something to do with the fact that I never saw this "One" episode of which you speak. My only question is this: Did the anomaly really expand, or was that just a hallucination, too? On the same note, did Phlox really get the ship up to Warp 2 on his own, or was that a hallucination? I suppose that's two questions, but it makes more sense than antimatter radiat--GAK![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]1. I don't know if the anomaly expanded or not. My personal feeling is that it did, but who knows for sure?

2. Yeah, he really did get the ship to warp 2. At least, in other Star Treks, whenever they do establishing shots outside, that's to tell the viewer what's really happening. That's why in TNG's "Ship in a Bottle" and DS9's "Inquisition" they don't do exterior shots while the actors are in the holodeck since there technically isn't an exterior. They did show an exterior of the Enterprise at warp, so I think we have to assume that it did go to warp.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Maybe the word of mouth was really good after "Harbinger."

Or, then, perhaps not.[/colorost_uid0]
