Episode Summary:

Trip, Mayweather and T'Pol go on a survey mission to a seemingly uninhabited Earth-like planet where a mysterious alien presence sends them into a state of paranoid overdrive. When a violent storm strands them on the planet, Archer must find a way to save his crewmembers before they turn dangerously upon one another.

Cordell's Review

We finally get to see life in the "lower decks" if you will.  I loved the interaction between Trip and Travis. I swear Trip is a riot.  

You know T'Pol is really starting to get on my nerves. Even Tuvok was less rigid then she is. Crewman Cutler and Novakovich are really cool as well.  It really got on my nerves when T'Pol just ignored her when she tried to be friendly

I won't go into too much detail about the plot.

I like the way Mayweather tells stories. It was almost spooky in a way. And as usual T'Pol just ruins the moment. 

The sudden gust of wind was spooky too. The away team was getting really scarred

Cordell's rule number 1 never stay by yourself on an alien planet. You will surely get killed. 

What bugs me is that Crewman Culter was not hallucinating when she saw T'Pol with the aliens. I wonder what the deal is with that.

Enterprise gets better each week I watch it.

THINGS I LIKED

Mayweather's story telling

Tucker's Paranoia

The Alien life forms

The new Enterprise commercial bumper

A successful transport 

THINGS I HATED

T'Pol holding back information. Come on this is a first contact situation. You want to make sure you got all your ducks in a row.

Crewman Novakovich's attitude towards the captain. Maybe it was stress maybe not. But I didn't understand his reaction.
