    This was a shippers delight of an episode. Along with some snappy dialoge, the story moves along really well. It was fun watching T'pol being so very Vulcan and yet letting the audience know how she is feeling. So, though those who aren't shippers might not like it, it was a well done episode.

  • The Delphic Expanse is abound with dangers when Enterprise encounters a region of space being completely transformed by the spheres. T'Pol and Trip finally take the next step in their relationship leading to the infamous "morning after" awkwardness.moreless

    Aside from finally getting to see T'Pol's completely nude backside, this episode is a bit of a yawner. Sure, massive spatial anomalies, and Archers compassion costing Enterprise even more damage, but it was an overall worthwhile experience.

    There's really not much to tell. The plot was split evenly into three parts. The alien from the lifepod inside the massive anomaly turns out to no big surprise of the viewers to be a saboteur. Malcolm and Major Hayes finally come to blows over who's got the biggest pair. And Trip's failed attempt to help a very attractive M.A.G.O.'s sleep disorders lead to he and T'Pol getting nekkid and vertical. Much to the pleasure of every fanboy in the world.

    T'Pol of course being unfamiliar how to pursue the relationship tells herself it was simply explorational, but doesn't discourage further neural pressure sessions with her new lover.moreless
