I'm guessing he's going to be in one of the next five episodes yet to air this season, along with Patrick Stewart and Scott Bakula. Otherwise, we're going to be waiting for Season 2 for any of them at this point.

I heard Picardo's episode will be in November.

Dear GOD.

This would have been a shit episode even if it were in the middle of Enterprise's Season 2.

Poor Penny Johnson. Yeesh. I need some brain bleach.

Even crappy "love pheromone" episodes like DS9's "Fascination" usually had enough good taste not to go so far as to involve actual sex. This here was an episode in which three of the main cast got—no way around it—date raped. And unlike the typical episode of this sort in which the love sickness is usually due to some accidental occurrence, this one was caused by a character who knew exactly what he was doing. And then the solution our heroes came up with to solve the external crisis was to roofie the two ambassadors as well. And we're supposed to find all of this funny!

Who in God's name thought this was a good idea?

IMDB says the writers Seth McFarlane (which really woudn't be suprise), but it might be someone else that wrote the actual episode, I'l try to check who it is when I can check the episode online

This was my least favorite episode so far. I called the love pheromone thing so early. It was just eye rolling.

But every series will have the occasional bad episode, so I'll forgive it since the last several were so good.

I found it not very funny but more interesting; we learned more about the affected characters including one huge bombshell at the end.
