#4 Enterprise: Unexpected
With this episode I learned some Star Fleet history. The NX-01 was indirectly responsible for perhaps one of most dangerous weapons used against its own vessels in the coming battles with the Klingon's. Due to some unexpected consequences of a three day mission Trip had on a Xyrillian ship, and then needing to find that ship - giving away its position to an Angry Klingon Battle Cruiser, Captain Archer hands over the technology that will lead to Klingon stealth ships responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths in the future.
What is it with this crew, they continue to make poor choices. Star Fleet was not a well run organisation in its early years. And could have had Cloaking ships like two hundred years earlier!
However technically we do have our first Alien-Sexual encounter with this episode, Trip wins the award for being the first to transfer DNA between two species.
Red Shirt deaths: still at zero
Alien Sex: 1

Seems to me that Trip is a bit of a dip. No pun intended. I did not catch this episode when it first aired, but I would think that somewhere in history this guys name comes up as a way of mocking someone. "Hey... don't get all Trip on me!"
ReplyDeleteHopefully he is so overshadowed by every other chief engineer that even that never happens.
