Or why didn’t they just send down the Rescue Panda Squad? Pandas are good climbers, aren’t they?
Panda 9-1-1
Only if their boobs don’t get in the way.
Silly, they don’t get invented for 100 years! They only have phaser-denting phasers now!
Dammit, I wanted to say that! 
And I liked Trip’s ass-shooting line.
Cervaise: Yep, that’d be a pretty cool episode, if it went your way. But it would have to be on a different show, not Enterprise, because it would involve creativity and emotion and philosophy and brains and stuff.
Okay, then, how about phaser-cutting phase pistols ?
Or do they only have phase-pistol-cutting phase pistols?
No, but they have pistil-cutting phase pistols.
That was a sex joke. For botanists.
Yes, until the end where Travis stopped them, which was a bit of real drama – and heroism.
I thought this episode better than average for this season; I agree that Cervaise’s version might work better, but the inclusion of Phlox’s racist son made this a step more thoughtful than when prior Treks have done the same plot.

P.S. Also, Trip should have threatened to start blowing up the geologists’ equipment to confront their recalcitrance.
Silly,
Botanists don’t get sex.
Or jokes.
No, but they’ll wag their stamens at you in a threatening manner.

Orchids are so named because they resemble testicles.
The words *vanilla * and vagina mean basically the same thing.
This concludes your combined lesson in botany and etymology, courtesy of viva.
Orchid!
(the sexual organs of orchids are fused into a single structure.)
…and apparently psychic to know what I would post…
The parts of shellfish are likewise named after parts of the female anatomy. (Maybe that’s where “clam” comes from.)
Many shellfish are very giving, making them not selfish at all.
When puns are outlawed, only outlaws will have puns.

Check out the scientific name on this one, Tars.
i wonder what would happen if they cross pollenated…
