    This seems to be an enterprise version of "the naked time" TOS or the "naked now" TNG.

    A large gravitational body causes strange symptoms amongst the crew.

    But instead of causing a form of intoxication
    it causes obession with trivialities

    Trip Decides to build the captain a super chair.
    Reed becomes obessed with his tactical alerts and ship security.
    mayweather believes he must get to the bridge
    or face a court martial
    hoshi takes over the galley and proceeds to make the same family favourite for every meal
    an so on and so forth..

    okay
    what was bad the acting it could given "in a mirror darkley" a run for it's money on that score.

    hoshi and her soup i dont care
    really
    it was super trivial
    and worst of all for an out of character ep it wasnt interesting or funny.


    the good
    the creepy doctor
    about to open up mayweathers skull

    the reed alert happening just in the nick of time

    the final solution to the captains chair debacle


    An okay episode with some anoying elementsmoreless

    The plot for this episode uses a tried and trusted device prevalent in all StarTrek franchises. I can remember there being at least one of these story-types in TNG, DS9 and Voyager. Basically its a crew affecting illness/plague story type, with problem-solving aspects for one of the crew that isnt affected. In this case, T'Pol. As you'd expect its heavily laden with dilemmas, i.e. the doctor becoming infected, though having the chef affected introduces a new aspect to the potential problems faced. Some localised conflict is present, as the crew's condition and situation worsens. You will find it worthwhile to watch if you feel a connection with the characters and actors, because the story is so well trodden. Otherwise, if you havent seen this type of story then you may be drawn in by the mystery of what is going on as well as how it is solved. On that point, the finale is definitely the highlight of the show as I didnt find the scenes between the crew exciting. Though to be fair they did a good job of building up the tension.

    Definitely feels like a filler episode as nothing really happens that may affect the story in future episodes.

    Definitely only worth watching if you love Enterprise or havent watched any of these types of episode before.moreless

    Enterprise is surveying a black hole at a distant star system. the black hole seems harmless from their perspective, but unknown to the crew, an invisible radiation is being emitted by the black hole and is affecting the minds of the human crew. T'Pol becomes the only person among the crew who can think straight. She races against time before the enterprise crew get themselves killed. It's an exciting episode. The crew gets affected by something that they couldn't see and they become a threat to themselves, it's a really great episode. It's a thriller, and each scene was so suspenseful.moreless

    • The concept of the command crew growing more and more obsessive with mundane tasks while one of the non-human crew stays calm and collective has been done prior on the Deep Space Nine episode "Dramatis Personae".

    • Mission Date: August 14, 2152 Edit
    • Trivia: This episode introduces the "Tactical Alert", and the "Red Alert" siren used in other Star Trek series. Temporarily jokingly called "Reed Alert" (after Lt Reed), this "Tactical Alert" is the predecessor to the "Red Alert" familiar from the other series. Edit

    • Reed: (infuriated over Trip's focus on the captian's chair) This isn't a bloody pleasure cruise! Without proper discipline on this ship, this mission is doomed!
      Trip: Why don't you go play soldiers somewhere else?
      Reed: If this were a military situation, you'd be taken out and shot!
      Edit
    • Archer: What'd you do? It seems totally different. Trip: I lowered it... By one centimeter. Edit
    • (angry over Trip ignoring his red alert in favor of fixing Archer's chair) Reed: If this were a military situation, you'd be taken out and shot. (both start fighting) Archer: Hey, hey, hey, hey! (to Trip) I don't care what color the headrest is or whether it can serve me iced tea! I just want a place to sit when I'm on duty! (to Reed) And if I hear that alarm one more time, I may have you taken out and shot. Edit
