Cordell's Review

Ok I had some problems with this episode. I'll list them in no particular order

1. Captain Archer butt naked. Ok come on I know you got to boost raitings, but having Scott in a shower scene completly nude come on

2. Sending Trip to an alien aptmosphere not knowing what to expect? I mean come on. If it were me I would take every precaution.

3. Synthizing water?  The alien female said they couldn't synthize water, yet in the holodeck scene, you clearly see water. Were the writers paying attention when they wrote the diaglogue?

4. And the male pregnacy thing? That was just so not going with nature and as a guy it made me feel extremly uncomfortable

5. Trip should have really followed the alien's advice and got some rest. I mean how stupid can you get?
