#3 Enterprise: Strange New World

Earth Date: June of 2151

It appears to me that the crew of the enterprise needs to spend less time criticizing the Vulcan's and more time listening to Vulcan Advice. The Vulcan's are likely too slow to act, spending time gathering as much data as possible before making the logical decision; while the star-fleet crew of the enterprise is acting only on a whim and doing what they please.

This time it almost killed 5 people on an away mission. Archer sent down the mission to investigate a uninhabited class M planet, T'Pol insists a full survey be conducted first (per Vulcan protocol) expected to take about 5 days. Archers overrides her and sends down a team right away.

Basic plot: Send down crew, they spend day happily exploring planet, camp out over night, storm comes upon them (spreading hallucinogenic pollen) , chases them into cave, everyone goes crazy, trip gets very violent with T'Pol (sees rock people conspiring with the Vulcan), Archer uses Trips...trip against him and saves the day.

Here is my first real bone with Archer... He acted way to fast to just send everyone down, relying only on the sensor scan from orbit. He jeopardized his crew, now its not completely his fault hopefully Star Fleet will create a standard operating procedure for landing on a new (Alien!) world for future discovery's.

Archer you are no Picard with your brash decision making, and no Kirk with your Alien-sex-virginity and failure to kill crewmen....
