Enterprise: Episode 8 - BREAKING THE ICE

"Malcolm and Travis seek Eisilium on a comet."

So the crew discovers this huge comet, it has some rare element(?) on it and they go on it to dig the stuff up. The Vulcans show up yet again to spy on them. They are so irritating, now I see why Spock was actually cool, he was half human. There are a few irritating parts to this episode, 1. the whole digging on a comet thing. 2. Archer invites the Vulcan commander to dinner and the guy is a totally dick the whole time. 3. A quarter of the episode is comprised of Archer reading letters from grade school kids, I guess it's meant to be cute but it went on way too long. But worst of all, there is this huge build up to some personal secret that T'Pol has, Trip accidently finds out and he's freaking about it. I'm thinking "This has to be something really good, like she's depressed or she needs to do some kind of Amok Time thing." Turns out she's supposed to get married .... yeah that's it. Hmmm, um married, yeah well ok. In the end she eats Pecan Pie. Also they use that stupid grappling arm again, but the cool thing was that this episode showed the first appearance of the tractor beam. The Vulcans used it and they refused to give Archer the specs on it.

It's like 100 degrees out and I had to hide in my yard to watch this episode. I barely get internet out here, Netflix was crawling.... It took me almost two hours to watch it! It was nearly worth every minute. Oh...I just got the title "Breaking the Ice" like they dug into the comet ice...haha...yeah.

Um yes ... neural planet, totally forgot that's where I live. Ya know, it would make sense that should be able to just create any element they want. Look at all of the other technology they have and they can't figure that out!

I'll pay close attention to that episode Harbinger, i'm sure they wussed out and put the American version.
