Review

This episode is good and bad at the same time. On one hand, I like the fact that relations with the Klingon Empire have finally soured after Ent: Judgment and this episode. I also like how the Tellarites, a future Federation member, have been introduced and are depicted to be on relatively good terms with Earth. On the other hand, the whole secondary plot concerning T'Pol's unscheduled Pon Farr was just unnecessary and totally obnoxious. I'm really getting tired with 1. the decon chamber being used for sex appeal and 2. the inappropriate use of T'Pol's character. I really hope this stops, along with the annoying retconning.
