Episode 17 Fusion

 

The Enterprise meets Vulcans who embrace emotions.  T’Pol is subjected to a forced mind meld by a jerk Vulcan.  The B plot about a Vulcan’s dying father is too lighthearted compared to the rape allegory A-plot.  The episode is harsh.  It also has lasting consequences throughout the rest of the series.  T’Pol ends up with some brain disorder from the mind meld which thankfully gets fixed in season four.

2022 Eternal Con - Outtakes

Episode by Episode - Star Trek: Enterprise

Season 1

Episode 16 Shuttlepod One

 

Malcolm Reed and Commander Tucker end up stranded in a shuttle pod together.   Reed is annoying, Tucker is practical.  The odd couple in outer space.  It’s very slightly similar to the Star Trek original series episode The Galileo Seven but different characters and a larger special effect budget change a lot of the drama.  Ultimately The Galileo Seven is a far superior episode but when you have Spock and Bones working off one another, it’s destined to be gold. Tucker and Reynolds aren’t bad characters, just not as iconic.

Episode 15 Shadows of P’Jem

 

The Andorians destroy the spy station the Vulcans had setup at their monastery.  The Vulcans blame Archer for it but they cannot punish Archer for it so they try to have T’Pol removed from the ship.  

 

Antics ensue that allow T’Pol to save the right Vulcan and keep her position on Enterprise.  We also get to see some Andorians again.  The show was always a little more exciting when Andorians appeared.

Episode 14 Sleeping Dogs

 

The Enterprise comes across a Klingon ship in some trouble.  They decide to help them.  The Klingon’s act like jerks about it.  It’s fun to see Klingons on Star Trek.  The episode does the job.  It’s not bad, it’s not great.  It’s hard coming up with 26 episodes for a TV show in one year.
