Trip
helps an alien crew fix their engines only to find himself pregnant – Wikipedia.
First Thoughts:
The cold
open was cheesy but effective to demonstrate the systems malfunctions.
The
Tekkno-babble was silly of course, but I really liked the idea of a cloaked
ship hitching a ride in their wake.
Great
introduction to the holodeck! Are these aliens the source of the later
Federation technology?
Nice tie
in with the Klingons…glad to see they are assholes again. All is right with the
universe.
Gratuitous Porthos scene…Yay!
I am
soooo glad that Trip didn’t actually sleep with Ah’len...way to go for Starfleet
officers that actually do exhibit restraint and professionalism while on duty….although
it was cool to see T’Pol get all Vulcan-jealous.
Nitpicks:
Sorry, I
just don’t like the theme song. I like what they are doing with the montage…and when the song first starts it seems OK, but the chorus just loses
me every time.
I am not
going to bother worrying about the actual biological logistics of Trip’s
pregnancy. It made enough sense in the context of the episode, and they didn’t
overplay it.
The
concept of the Xyrillion ship was muddled. They were obviously going for an
organic-y feel with the grass and wall food, but then their propulsion system
is a Dexter’s lab mess of tubes and coils.
Speaking
of which…sure didn’t see any grass on their home world, not sure why they
needed it for the ship.
It’s OK
that the Xyrillions are a passive race, but they are obviously technologically
advanced…no one on their crew has the ability to fix or maintain their
propulsion system?
