[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] Here's [URL=http://talk.trekweb.com/articles/2001/10/17/1003331922.html]the article[/URL] over at TrekWeb that lists some spoilers for "Dear Doctor." This is supposedly a "spy report" that doesn't mention the conclusion to the episode, so take this information with a few handfuls of salt. Anyway, here's some basics about the episode. First, it's in a format similar to "Data's Day" in which the story is told through the personal correspondence of Doctor Phlox. In this episode, Elizabeth Cutler from "Strange New Worlds" makes another apperance and has a crush on Doctor Phlox. Archer and crew try to help a pre-warp civilization that is suffering from a plague that they can't seem to cure. These pre-warp aliens also put Archer in a tight spot by asking for warp technology. Archer has to decide whether to give them the technology or assume a position similar to the Vulcans in their dealing with Earth and refuse. A couple of points brought up this "spy report." First, the aliens make a mention of having had Ferengis stop by recently. I have no idea what to make of this; my initial reaction is to hope that this part gets rewritten or written out in the final version. Another point brought up is that Doctor Phlox is revealed to be a Denobulan. This sounds like it could be a pretty okay to pretty good episode. Other episodes done in this format include "Data's Day," "In the Pale Moonlight," and "Thirty Days." I personally liked all of those episodes. Some of the stuff rubs me the wrong way (such as the Ferengi reference and Cutler's crush on Phlox). It just seems to me that Enterprise is too close to Earth to be hearing a mention of the Ferengi. I suppose the romantic interests between Phlox and Cutler could be all right if the director and writer can get a good flow going with the characters. [/QB][/QUOTE]
