ENT fusion.

Opinionated Enterprise Episode Guide looks at Fusion. Vulcans exploring their emotions show up, and T'Pol predicts they'll be trouble. As usual, she's right. Though this time she's not smug about it.

Once again, I have to question whether T'Pol actually has the ''three times the strength of a human'' thing that she's meant to have. She gets overpowered so quickly so often its actually kind of a running joke at this point. I'm not saying that she could physically overpower a male Vulcan, but how about ripping off a chair leg with her free hand and smashing his head in? Spock used to be able to effortlessly flatten computer monitors so she must be able to at least break a bit of cheap Starfleet furniture.

Star Trek really has been all over the place when it comes to being consistent with strength. Like Klingons are supposed to be stronger than humans and even Vulcans.

Yet they get their asses beat by Kiras double handed chop to the chest and then face (try hitting something with your hands clamped together. You won't hurt anyone).

I will give the Klingon a pass in getting beat by Sisko. Because Sisko reasons.

I get with Word being beat. Outside Data he was supposed to be the strongest. So you had to show the new threat was serious by beating Worf. They did change this in DS9.

The first I saw this episode, I mistook Mr. Bland/Smug/Date Rapist for the Vulcan Captain. The Captain just sort of disappeared. Did Archer not tell him he has a violent crew member? It seems he had to have, but then why is Archer the one dealing with the guy?

I actually remember enjoying watching this episode back in the day, but mostly because of how much I enjoyed Trip's interaction with Kav. I completely forgot about the whole "date rape" plot. I genuinely remembered Trip trying to convince Kav to talk to his Dad was the main plot.

At least they didn't brush the date rape off as no big deal like that Orville episode with the blue guy.

That was pretty much my take. I haaaated season 1 of Ent. I was really disappointed as I was just the right age to think 'yes, this is going to be my trek that I can watch from the beginning as it airs' having missed TNG entirely and coming in late on Ds9 and Voyager. I was so hyped, and they had a Brit. This was going to be great...

Trip's interraction with Kav was one of the very occasional glimmers in season 1 of hey maybe there's something of quality here that's not another episode of endless disappointment.

I'm going to be very interested to see Chuck's reaction to the depictions of the V'tosh ka'tur in Strange New Worlds when he reviews those episodes.
