Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode contains the first Star Trek female nude scene presented in a sexual context. Numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) showed or implied nudity, but in strictly non-sexual contexts (e.g. art classes, nudist living, torture, streaking in protest, etc.), and Who Mourns for Morn? (1998) (which featured Quark being seduced by a lady in a bathtub) came as close as being sensual. This episode aired in the United States on 11 February 2004 during the height of controversy over Janet Jackson inadvertently exposing a breast during the Super Bowl halftime show, on a network owned by CBS (which was taking heat for the incident). As a result, the scene in which T'Pol's rear end is exposed was censored in the USA by zooming in on the scene, and keeping her buttocks just out of frame. Canadian broadcasts, however, were uncensored, as were later DVD and streaming editions.
- GoofsJolene Blalock's real eyebrows can be seen curving down under T'Pol's make-up.

Featured review
Let's fight the Xindi with Vulcan neuro-pressure
The third season of Enterprise is not, as many viewers think, the season in which Archer and his crew take on the fight against the Xindi and search for their ultimate weapon in order to prevent the impending destruction of Earth. No, season 3 is primarily about Vulcan neuro-pressure, foot massages, extended intimate scenes in T'Pol's quarters with Trip, in which she is either scantily clothed or half naked. This season is generally about female crew members being portrayed as sexy for no reason. As we know today: All vain attempts to stop the demise of this series.
T'Pol not only sweetens Trip's evenings with her neuro-pressure arts and vice versa, but with MACO soldier Amanda Cole the love triangle is now perfect. Amanda gets extra treatment from either Trip or T'Pol and Trip can't really decide who he should hook up with first. It was only logical that T'Pol would now approach Trip in order to broaden her horizons about human mating practices. But also unnecessary and embarrassing. Just more bare skin for the ratings.
On the other hand, the Enterprise now meets a "Builder" for the first time. But of course Archer and the crew still haven't learned anything. As gullible as ever, they take him on board, where he destroys almost half the ship before disappearing into another dimension.
Kind of weird: Earth and with it the crew of the Enterprise are essentially in a state of war. The crew steers through the Delphic Expanse - a previously barely explored region with a number of dangerous space anomalies and alien species. Each of them could either be an agent of the Xindi or be untrustworthy, if not dangerous, themselves. After all, life in the Expanse seems to be subject to different rules. And what's more, there are a number of spheres scattered throughout the Expanse and it's unclear what their builders are up to and whether these "Builders" aren't the masterminds of a much larger plot. But every ship in distress is still approached and its crew is brought to the Enterprise - with no or only minimal security and guarding. For example, when the crew opened the pod, as a captain in such a situation I would definitely have placed 5 security guards in front of it with phaser rifles. Just to be sure.
The scenes between Reed and Hayes are quite funny. But it's also not fitting for a security chief on board the Enterprise to behave like a teenager and respond to offended vanity with his fists. Also, shouldn't Hayes be teaching Reed's people some combat tricks? Then why is there not a single security officer present at training and instead Hoshi, Travis and T'Pol practice haymakers and shoulder throws? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the crew members responsible for ensuring security on the ship to be up to speed instead of little Hoshi learning to swing her fists?
