"Porthos causes a diplomatic incident on an alien world and becomes ill from an alien pathogen; Archer goes stir crazy in sick bay while waiting for Porthos to recover."
This is another one of those ridiculous episodes full of slapstick. Yet I still found it mildly entertaining. The episode starts off with one of those stupid rub down scenes between Archer, T'Pol and Hoshi. It was a Message-A-Trois. But really the entire plot is ... dog gets sick. That's about it. So they piss off those aliens again, remember them from a few episodes back. Porthos pisses on one of their trees. And yet again, the aliens really add nothing to the plot. Accept in the end Archer has to go through an apology ritual, which is having him chainsaw a piece of wood half naked. I'm not making this stuff up. And also, a chainsaw???
Archer spends the entire night in sickbay. And he can't sleep because of a) Dr. Phlox is loudly cutting his nasty toe nails. b) Dr. Phlox is scraping his Gene Simmons Tongue. c) Dr. Phlox is chasing around a bat.
Archer is acting like a mad man and a complete dick. So Dr. Phlox suggests that Archer is sexually frustrated. And he is! Then he has a sex dream about T'Pol. Didn't this same scenario already happen about 5 times in season one?!?!? All in all this episode was dumb but watchable.

What the fuck kinda premise is this for an episode ?!? That pic is horrifying
Mmmm...T'Pol and Hoshi rubdown.
Here's the problem with Enterprise: The comedic episodes are fucking awful. Every now and again there are some funny moments, but whenever they really tried to be humorous, it was just pathetic. On the contrary, the earlier series (especially next gen and TOS) are often brilliantly funny.
