Enterprise Episode Review
In which Reed is rather useless.
What Happened
Hoshi, Reed and T'Pol are trapped on a Klingon ship, finding the crew unconscious and the vessel sinking into the crushing atmosphere of a gas giant.
The Good
- Snarking with T'Pol? Hoshi did grow a spine.
The Bad
- T'Pol: "Other than keeping Ensign Mayweather up at night, I don't know what we expect to accomplish here." You and me both.
- They're near death and Reed pulls out his lame Trip imitation?
The Cliche
- Why is it the first thing they always do is take off their helmets? I can understand after they've been stuck there awhile, but this is like fifteen seconds after they climb onboard.
- Reed is pretty lame for a security officer. Everyone beats him up.
- Because she's read the script, pt. 1: How did the Klingon woman know that the name of the ship was Enterprise? She had no translator and I doubt she reads English.
- Because she's read the script, pt. 2: Hoshi doesn't know the difference between "hull" and "wall," but "photon torpedo" and "fusion manifold" she knows?
- "The one time we need the engineer..." Well, duh.
- Hoshi can't run around the ship alone, but it's okay for them to leave Malcolm by himself? Statistically speaking, he's much more likely to get beat up.
- Because she's read the script, pt. 3: I know they're on this Hoshi having a spine kick, but why was she the one coming up with all the answers? Reed is the weapons geek.
What Did I Think?
Nice as it is to see Hoshi continue her journey from 'fraidy cat to competent officer, it really shouldn't come at Reed's expense. They couldn't have knocked him unconscious or something?
