Don't forget Dill!

 

Some of this episode (supposedly) is on a Vulcan ship. I'm wondering, are the markings on the wall behind T'Pol and Archer Vulcan and if so, I've never seen any quite like that before. :look: Any theories?

Were those Vulcans unused extras from "Thriller", or what?

That episode was great! Wow... action just keeps getting better and better. It must have taken them a long time to make these sets, because there seemed to be so many locals. The bridge, the tunnels, walkways, etc.. Amazing effects job. So now we now what causes the insanity...the trellium! Makes good sense. Hope Phlox can modify T'Pol's immune system. The makeup job on the actors was stellar! Very enjoyable episode with a fast pace. I also love the cinematography of the action scenes...the way the cameras run. Ok...I'll stop here. That was great!

 

 

I'll give the episode a 9.5/10....close to perfect.

There is nothing like a bunch of crazy Vulcans with screwed up neural nets. They should of left this episode for Halloween Week.

Fantastic Episode, well acted by the Zombies and on Jolene's part, great action. I agree the cinematography was top notch, and has been all year. What more could you ask for? 9/10

I must echo the glowing sentiments. Very nice. Great gothic horror fun. Surprisingly touching moment at the end when Archer said that he wouldn't leave T'Pol on a planet and thus leave what makes him human behind. Cute moment when T'Pol told dream Trip to use his logic quietly and his open mouthed reaction to it. Funny. :b-day:

 

A 9 out of 10. On a par with Anomaly. I'll try to get the e-mail addresses in the sticky thread up tomorrow. It's great that ENT weathered the first storm against Smallville but 4.52 million viewers by official Nielsens is still perilous territory. ENT isn't safe yet. TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE THESE TWO PEOPLE TOMORROW AND TELL THEM YOU LIKED THIS EPISODE. Please. ;);)

I loved this episode, it had everything you could ask for. Drama, action and even a hint of a possible romance?

 

Click for Spoiler:

When Trip asked T'Pol to movie night it had a "Date" feel to it I thought.

Exciting episode!

 

Click for Spoiler:

Once again the action scenes were great, and sets were really well done. The episode was very well paced and well acted. Also, the lighting and the directing were amazing.

 

9/10

Oh yes, VaBeachGuy, oh yes.

They are definitely testing the waters with Trip/T'Pol to see how fans react and I for one am receptive to the possibility.

 

 

A letter to Dawn Tarnosky-Ostroff, President of UPN to inform her that you find this particularly pairing adorable could be beneficial. ;)

that was an amazing episode.

 

i agree it was on par with anamoly, and regeneration. 9/10

 

yes, it does look cool how they speed up the frame rates a bit to give the action a 'jumpy' (for lack of a better word) look. the only problem i had with it is when they use it on stuff like when the soldier fell to the ground (it looked to fast. he was on the ground in milliseconds) and when he helped t'pol up after the gas started rushing in (she seemed to get up way to fast). other than that, it looks really cool.

 

wow ...i loved that episode. and the sets that were all wrecked and sparky were awesome. i hope enterprise looks like that after the xindi arc is over. i wanna see it limping home! that would be sweet!

I was not as impressed as you guys were. It just seems to me all action and no plot. It was a fun runaround but that was all. I have said this before it just seems that when they go away from the arc which you have to now and again to keep the arc fresh they seem to run out of ideas. That is just what I think.

There actually was a larger plot at work here.

 

Click for Spoiler:

Now we know why the Vulcans went crazy and were killing eachother on the other ship. We also know now that if the Enterprise is insulated with Trellium (is that spelled right?) that it will cause serious problems for T'Pol and any other Vulcan that may come aboard.

 

 

So from that standpoint this was a very important episode for answering some questions that were raised back at the end of season 2.

Exactly, you people just don't pay close enough attention. ;)

 

Click for Spoiler:

Does anyone think that since it will take awhile for T'Pol to return to normal (apparently), perhaps they'll do a couple of episodes of T'Pol with some emotions... could be interesting.

Awsome episode

 

Click for Spoiler:

I like the looks of the Vulcan Zombies.I also thought that Trip asking T'Pol to the movie sounded like a date.Very cool episode indeed

 

 

The only thing i thought they could of done was waited and showed it closer to halloween

 

Overall 8/10

I think the writers are teasing us with Trip and T'Pol. Not that I object. ;)

 

Click for Spoiler:

It did sound like Trip was asking T'Pol out--sort of.  Going to a group activity is technically a date but not really intimate.  I think the writers are taking it slowly with those two, which is wise IMHO.  Don't overplay your hand

 

 

I added in my letter to Dawn Tarnosky how much I appreciated the Trip/T'Pol scenes. :b-day: Anybody who wants the address reprinted, e-mail me anytime for it.

Guess I'll add my opinion as well. I too liked many aspects to this episode..

 

Click for Spoiler:

The action, emotional Vulcans, Vulcan ship etc..etc..Talk about lots of action..Boy T'Pol really got messed up didn't she?..Quite a nightmare she had at the end of the show..Like someone else on this post said; I too like T'Pol's line in her dream asking Trip to use his logic quietly.. ;) It's a good thing Trip wasn't able to make any of that Trillium..Wonder how long it'll take T'Pol to recover from all of this.

 

 

What a good show...I give it a 9/10..

Hate to be the party pooper but this one annoyed me a little.

 

Click for Spoiler:

My first impressions are: I didn't like the flashback aspect of T'Pols being affected, they could have just let the story lead up to that the way we all expected it to.

 

I thought I was gonna have a seizure from all the flashing ;) and it was a little too convenient the way the flashing increased whenever the Zombies showed up.

 

Archer took way too long to just stun T'Pol and carry her out. :)

 

The shuttle not being able to free it-self except with a phaser shot from Trip violated what had been established before; in Shockwave Two they just gave it the gas and that connecting material ripped like paper. ;) These things are what I remember in the nit-pick category.

 

On the up side, it was a marvelous revelation about the Trillium-D being the reason for the Vulcan's problems in the Expanse and though predictable, the Sela(<?) exploding was a visual treat and a event of I'm sure, faaaaaar reaching repercussions. B)

 

:b-day: The Vulcan Zombies were excellent and seeing Trip and Travis work together again was neat.

 

 

Perhaps it will be better the second time I watch it, ;) 1st impression rating: a generous 6.

 

:) P.s. Having Hoshi :( in the spotlight again for next week's episode rocks!
