Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Trekweb, LeVar Burton who played Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) went to the producers and told them he was "ashamed" that he had directed this episode.
- GoofsWhen Trip tries to persuade T'Pol to come back to Enterprise with him, she refuses, saying she'd rather stay with Archer and Hoshi, but T'Pol is completely out of contact with Enterprise while she follows her two crewmates. Why doesn't she take a communicator and phaser from Trip so that she's at least able to communicate with Enterprise and defend herself?

Featured review
Mutants in space - without superpowers
A boring filler episode with bad acting and a stupid plot. The episode is similar to TNG's "Genesis." Just as stupid. And T'Pol is once again unaffected by anything, as Vulcan females only seem to get into trouble when it has to do with Pon Farr or when they can be seen half-naked applying cream on their bodies in the decon chamber. Of course, if the problem is being infected with a virus on a planet, the Vulcan body's defenses are once again excellent.
And it's always amazing how quickly bodies mutate in Star Trek. Not only does the physiology completely change and the crew is transformed into completely different species, but their psyches also change. And then they get a few hyposprays from the doctor and a little medical mumbo-jumbo and the body changes back again. Including the perfectly fitting hairstyle, any birthmarks or scars on the skin. As if nothing had happened.
This episode shows once again that perhaps you shouldn't visit foreign planets without protective equipment. If you consider how many viruses, bacteria and other microbes there are on our planet, then it should be clear that this will also be the case on foreign planets. And the human immune system would be overwhelmed by even the most insignificant cold viruses if they were foreign and no antibodies had been formed.
The actors are definitely not to be envied in this episode. The hopping around of this strange species is pretty ridiculous.
