They should have just had those dancing mushrooms from Fantasia on in the background and filmed the planet shots on a blue screen.
Well, I think it would have looked cool…
I saw it on Saturday, having missed it on Wednesday. What’s all this about green vegetation? I don’t recall any green, just shades of gray! 
Well, i missed it entirely, due to my driving to illinois and not knowing when Enterprise aired there. Luckily, the version in my head is a lot better than anything Berman could come up with. It mostly stars Hoshi, and deals with how she can’t wear clothes anymore due to aliens.
Mmmmm… Hoshi!
All photosynthetic organisms are gray in the dark.
Damn.
I though the Canadaian feeds were cool.
Which was my point. There must have been green vegetation shown but I sure don’t remember any, which was probably B&B’s intention.
Well, there certainly seemed to be a hell of a lot of leaves around.
What are leaves for again?
Leaves are for hiding your shame from God. Obviously that planet used to be Eden, the flaming sword was coming down to kill Archer and Co., but then the opening credits started, and the theme song scared it away!

WTF???
how did that happen?
Obiously a sign from the Supreme Being regarding the smoking or wearing of leaves.
Well, my first multi-post has to be a Quad-post! One for each arm!!
Guess i can’t do anything right! i’ll go back to daydreaming of Hoshi!
Mmmmmm…Hoshi!
I saw this episode yesterday as well, and I didn’t stop cringing at the bad science of it all. I don’t think they’re even pretending to care anymore.
What I really found unconscionable was the preview for the next episode that is showcasing the Ferengi. Apparently they’re not pretending to care about continuity either.
If that’s the way it’s going to be, I’m expecting everybody’s favorite enemy, the Borg, making an appearance as the Romulans’ secret weapon. Also look for a very special Enterprise where Scotty returns (apparently there was another transporter copy of him that was thrown back in time).
Doesn’t Scotty have to go back in time to become his own grandfather? Then the Scotties of each century will team up and fight Kahn jr.!
Maybe next week Clint Howard the Ferengi will be seen polishing a stolen Best Director Acadamy Award…
Have you been sniffing the Barsoomian rays again?
no, i think Berman got ahold of them…

Actually the plants thing did not bother me. What bothers me is that they empty out the bridge every time they reach a new dangerous planet. Let’s send the captain, chief engineer, science officer and armory officer down to this strange planet with an unknown ship on it. Leaving poor Mayweather (who had his own episode and sucked in it, BTW) and Dr. Floxx to run the ship.
So if the aliens are hostile and kill them all the entire command staff is gone, leaving Hoshi cowering in her cabin. Grrrrr.
Remember TNG when Riker was captain after Picard was Borgi-fied, and he started to leave the ship to lead the away team and someone had to remind him that his place was on the ship.
The nightvision and flashlight technology seems strangely crappy seeing the have Warp 5 capability and charged energy weapons.
Remember the shape shifting snails without shells were doing fine until the chemical trail thing was found, people. Being mildly telepathic helps but when their are 5 of the hunters, they can track you and they know about your Jedi mind tricks (Jabba style) you find that you may be on the short end of the stick (remember the crack about the “young ones”).
Overall a “eh” episode.

Boy Scouts-agreed. I wonder, besides the Xenobiology merit badge was there and ‘Out A Scout’ badge? The show gave its approval of an organization that will not have Esprix as a member. How can anyone approve of any organization that won’t let Esprix join?
Other than that, I was struck by the 10 minutes worth of plot stretched out over the whole show. I kept expecting some revelation as to why the Wraiths are so important to the hunters-their blood is a powerful drug, they contain an enzyme the hunters need in order to reproduce, it’s an integral part of the hunter’s religion-which appears to have been founded by a visiting Romulan, etc.
Nope. They’re just fun to hunt. It’s made clear right away hunters=bad, Wraiths=good. I kept expecting a role reversal-this used to be hunters home planet 'til Wraiths knocked it out of orbit for colonization. Nope
I was really disapointed.
On a side note-T’pol is a Vulcan. Vulcans repress all emotions. I keep expecting some one to proposition her for that reason.
"T'pol, what's the Vulcan attitude on nudity?"
"Clothing is worn for the sake of utility or to ease interraction with other cultures."
"So, can I see you naked?"
"It would serve no logical purpose. Further, you would be aroused, distracted and less productive at your station."
"But, what it was a reward? Y'know an incentive to be more productive? Hmmm...if I raise warp efficiency by 15%, then can I see you naked?"
"That would be acceptable."
