Episode 92 - DIVERGENCE

"With the Columbia's help, the Enterprise crew grapples with sabotage to their ship as they pursue the truth behind the kidnapping of Phlox."

So Trip has transferred over to the Columbia because he's sick of T'Pol's bullshit. The Columbia is now assisting the Enterprise in saving Phlox.  A Klingon/Augment is caught on the Enterprise and put in the brig, Archer also discovers Malcom's ploy and tosses him in the brig. The Malcolm plot is confusing and pointless, I guess he's being manipulated by a covert group that he is part of ... but it really doesn't lead anywhere.

Phlox cures the plague and is returned. Meanwhile the Klingons are shamed because they have messed up nearly a million of their people. These Klingons will now look more humanoid, hence the Klingon's from TOS are explained. They say that someday this genetic mutation might be reversible ... explaining why they have vanished. Also I think that this was alluded to in DS9. Excellent job Enterprise, I like this one.

A lot of people would probably say the Klingon appearance thing needed no explanation, but that's not a bad one.

Sometimes I would wonder about an explanation for the Klingon appearance. Then I would remember that the show was from the 60's and the makeup sucked ... that's the explanation! But, yeah this was a good one. It's weird that there are six degrees of separation between weird looking Klingons, Khan and Data.
