...I'm casually wondering if anyone has mentioned that Pon Farr cannot be an open issue on Enterprise. Just like the identity of Romulans or the Vulcan Neck Pinch [as well as the Death Grip ]. The way they handled the VNP was alright, easy enough to not be known about by the rest of the crew. What bothers me is that the Pon Farr situation would not be as easily to handle unless there were other Vulcans around at the time, of if they were even near Vulcan.

I don't think that anyone's mentioned it, but you're right. In "Amok Time" (TOS), pon farr was a big Vulcan secret that not even medical officers were informed of.

Nothing in the original series suggested that the neck pinch was unknown at the time, so that wasn't a problem to begin with.

Although the loophole is that, if it happens, T'Pol will trust the secret of pon farr to Archer and PHlox and they wont tell anyone out of respect for her, and no one will know about it 112 years later. Eeeeeeaaaaaassy fix.
And i think the neck pinch wasnt a secret.. if anyone asked about it the first time Spock did it, its because they were just unfamiliar with Vulcan capabilities as a person, not as a race (just because one human wasnt aware of a Vulcan capability doesnt mean they all arent, just that one)

No, Alshrim, it was not just you; she was very good last night. Which makes me wonder: are they showing the episodes in the order they were filmed? Last week she was the very early, "chip-on-her-shoulder" T'Pol; this week it looks like she has been gradually improving. Not only that, but it was said that they had only been out a month in "Unexpected," correct? Now, that is not neccessarily a violation of anything, but if the episodes are being shown out of filmed order, perhaps "Unexpected" was filmed earlier.
