This episode was written by Berman and Braga.
My mother was more interested in T'Pol's costume then she was in the story. She could care less about the story and went to bed halfway through. Anyway, Denise had the opinion the white uniform was nearly pornagraphic. She remarked on the crisp outline of the butt crack seen when T'Pol was in the captain's ready room. This was disgusting to her.
Thankfully, we didn't get to see a close up view of her front. I was afraid we might see a camel toe, as what happen to poor Ms. Sirtis in "Ensigns of Command".
And when Ms. Bialock attempted to run in that uniform, her running was terrible. It was as if the uniform was constricting her movements.
As for the story, it's crap.

Very amusing anecdote, Newark. It reminds me of Bernd's review for "A Night in Sickbay." He was watching the ep on a train, and he was worried that other people around him would think he was looking at porn.
Among other things, T'Pol's uniform was just ridiculous, and she looked ridiculous in it. When Blalock walks, she takes these huge strides that make her look like she's practicing to be a catwalk model. And to think that both Archer & Trip are oblivious to T'Pol's uniform...
Anyway, I won't go into nitpicking the story, as most people here already have. Suffice it to say that the one thing I did like was the Klingon disruptor; IMHO it was very TOS looking. Nice new Klingon ship too, although it was more TNG looking, with its similarities to the Vor'cha, and its dark green color. This would have made a good ship to show in "Unexpected" instead of the K'Tinga, especially since this new ship's screentime lasted for a whole four seconds.

There is a terrible rot in our society if that's what we're now calling pornographic. I blame the liberals. Yes.
And "Marauders" wasn't written by Berman and Braga.

They really neded Jonny Cash singing "Ring of Fire" fo that one scene though....
...and a dishonored Klingon is twice as likely to come back and kill everyone. I doubt the Duterium (miners? makes no sense) would carry weapons 24/7 in case these bozos came back. ...and the colonists' leader was awfully forgiving of the Klingons that killed his father....they must not have been real close.

Hey, the bumpies this week were never referred to by name, right? That's kinda odd for Trek, but it is something that Enterprise seems to be doing with some regularity.
Given that the K'Tinga appearance last year was a one-off error that is not likely to be repeated, I'm sure we'll be seeing this new "Nope'Mahk" (sic) class ship again. Since the Klingons of this era don't seem to have a true military (we have yet to see a true Klingon uniform), the appearance of non-warships later is very likely...

As Dukhat confirms, it wasn't "written by" Berman & Braga. As far as the WGA's crediting policy is concerned, any television script where there's so much a whiff of someone else concieving the story immediately gets one bumped to a "teleplay" credit. If we're looking at creative influence over the final product, "teleplay" is way more relevant than what the WGA calls "story," and thus any potential ire should be aimed at Wilcox.
But don't. I'm sure he's a nice guy.

*bump* For this week's rerun. Further thoughts, or is it merely good for introducing the Klingon Nope'Mahk class transport and T'pol's pointlessly huggy desert outfit? And the recycling of the Trek warehouse's array of stock weapons?
quote:Originally posted by Dukhat: Andre Bormanis is a fucking moron. Star Trek would do better having my mom as science advisor than him. He's the guy who basically said that since "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" screwed up science so badly, so can Enterprise.
I don't think it is all his fault. As he says in the DS9 Companion, he usually will defer to the producers if they're insistent about some violation of science . . . it's rather like a general having to defer some tactical point to the President because he's the "commander in chief", and thus technically outranks the general . . . despite the civilian/military difference.
