Enterprise: Episode 5 - UNEXPECTED

(Viewed July 19. 2011)
“Trip helps an alien crew fix their engines only to find himself pregnant. “

Really, that says it all. I nearly stopped watching Star Trek forever after this episode. It’s that stupid. The saving grace is the first appearance of the holodeck (which Starfleet seems to forget about for the next 100 years??) and the Klingons being total hard-asses as always. I wondered why the Klingons look like TNG ones and not more like TOS ones … then I remembered that this will all be conveniently explained in a few more episodes. The Xyrillian woman that Trip finds attractive seriously looks like Freddy Krueger, the sad thing is that half way through the episode I was thinking “ehh she ain’t too bad”. So she knocks him up by sticking his hand in her bowl of crystals … literally. At the end of the episode T’Pol states that this is the first time that a man has ever had a baby. Little did they know that a few years after this episode was made that a real life man that was actually a woman had a baby. Awesome.

Why did they base an episode of Star Trek on that movie Junior?

(alternate joke: Why did they base an episode of Star Trek on that one episode of The Cosby Show?)

(alternate alternate joke: The writers of this show should've had an abortion. Huh?)

I've been rewatching some of these episodes... and boy was this one awful!

Some of it was neat, like how Trip had to adjust to the alien atmosphere on that ship, but everything else was awful. Trip really wanted to hit that disgusting pock-faced chick?
