This episode makes me laugh every single time I watch it. I love when Star Trek episodes have real laughs in them and this one doesn't disappoint . Trip is one of the sweetest most gentle men with a huge heart and a boyish romantic side...The nipple, when discovered, is quite real looking and Trip's reaction to learning he is pregnant is hilarious! Such a good throw back to TOS. This pokes fun at the early explorers experiencing many many things for the first time. Trip is an innocent trail blazer. One for the history books! Even the Klingon's get in the mix to show how far we all need to come in regards to gender and the sexes. One of my all time top franchise episodes. Well done! Funny, good characters, good sets and futuristic design, some serious leading storylines. It's a girl!!
T'Pol is a little annoying but she has been so far in the beginning of season one anyway, part of her character development going forward. A little bit of her judging Trip is a clue to her 'adapting to Humans.
Love the female alien character as she has the most brilliant beautiful electric green eyes. She is very captivating. Both her and Trip are so naive in their encounter. And I admire them for it. Almost child like. I also admire Catain Arxher for being so trusting of the Aliens when I'm not sure I would have been. Nice to see in an early exploration series. If I was the Female alien I would have been more like the alien who wanted Riker in TNG during his stay at a hospital when impersonating her people. I think everyone wants more episodes like that. I do! It's silly to deny it. But then I like to watch Star Trek to be entertained as well as dream of a better more light hearted future. A future that this episode highlights in many ways. Worldly issues like unwanted pregnancy to trade, curiosity about people who are a different culture. Star Trek fashion!!!
