But they also have key differences, like a third gender that enables reproduction. Given the specialized role these cogenitors, as they are called, play in Vissian society, they have little need for niceties such as literacy. That doesn't sit we...

October 08, 2022 03:40 - 42 minutes - 29.8 MB“The Catwalk” 20th-anniversary reflections What looks to be an exciting field trip to a life-filled planet is cut short before it begins when the Enterprise encounters a ship carrying three aliens with an urgent request. A neutronic storm is about to sweep through the system and they’ll die if they don’t get out of the area right immediately. Or so they say.

August 28, 2022 08:15 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MB“Precious Cargo” 20th-anniversary reflections A distress call leads to one of the most troubling events one can imagine: the interruption of Trip Tucker’s harmonica time.

August 20, 2022 08:52 - 42 minutes - 29.7 MB“Vanishing Point” 20th-anniversary reflections Forced to use the transporter to escape a diamagnetic storm on the surface of an uninhabited planet, Hoshi Sato returns to the Enterprise not quite feeling herself. In fact, she’s slowly fading away, leaving her crew in danger and her dad confused. Unless she can find a way to get someone’s attention, the ship will be destroyed and, even worse, she’ll wind up just like Cyrus Ramsey. “Cyrus who?” you ask. Yeah, you’re not alone. Trip and Malcol...

Reed searches for the perfect alarm to get everyone’s attention, Hoshi seeks to make the perfect dish, Phlox turns into Dr. Frankenstein, and Trip prepares to pitch his new HGTV series, This Old Chair. Thankfully, Vulca...
235: Peel-Off Prosthetics
August 02, 2022 13:30 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MB“The Communicator” 20th-anniversary reflections After a, let’s admit, questionable mission to mingle with a pre-warp culture while wearing peel-off prosthetics, the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 returns from an alien planet where they had a great time.

When T’Pol receives a call from the Vulcan High Command, memories of her past life as a security operative begin to resurface. She is sent on a mission to apprehend a surgically altered man named Menos, the last of six rogue operatives she was sent after 17 years earlier. Or at least she remembered there being six. Actually there were seven, and she killed Menos’s partner Jossen—a fact that is only beginning to come back to her. Just after the in...
233: Seven Samurai
July 19, 2022 02:31 - 33 minutes - 23.7 MB“Marauders” 20th-anniversary reflections. Archer continues setting the stage for centuries of conflict between the Federation and the Klingon Empire when he stands up for the inhabitants of a mining colony. But, to be fair, how hard is it to come into conflict with Klingons? Deuterium aside, the captain doesn’t like bullies, not on Earth and not here—on whatever planet this is. The crew of the Enterprise puts Klingon Commander Korok—not nearly as cute as his Zelda namesake—in his place whe...
232: T'Ponathan
July 11, 2022 03:27 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB“A Night in Sickbay” 20th-anniversary reflections When Porthos takes a leak on a sacred tree, it’s strike two for the Enterprise crew with Kreetassans.

Clarke. Aboard the station, Archer learns that the Enterprise can be repaired in just 34.2 hours for a price so low he can’t refuse. Only that price turns out to be much higher as Travis goes missing and more and more inqu...
230: Dancing around Romulans
June 10, 2022 00:26 - 43 minutes - 30.4 MB“Minefield” 20th-anniversary reflections The Enterprise finds itself in the middle of a minefield and there’s one big problem: the mines are cloaked. There’s also a second big problem: some aliens calling themselves the Romalin [sic] Star Empire don’t want them messing around with their invisible bombs. When a mine attaches itself to the hull, Lieutenant Reed heads out to detach it, only he becomes attached himself and it looks like the end of the road for him. But this very bad, terrible,...
229: I Love Lucy (And So Do You)

When the Enterprise drops by Paraagan II to check on colonists, they accidentally ignite the atmosphere and destroy the settlement. Or so it seems. As the investigation unfolds, Archer gets assistance from Crewman Daniels—back from the dead—and learns that the Temporal Cold War is heating up and that it is the Suliban, not the Enterprise crew, who are to blame for the accident. And there’s more than just the lives of 3,600 colonists at stake; Earth...

February 06, 2022 08:40 - 41 minutes - 28.7 MB“Acquisition” 20th-anniversary reflections. When a group space bandits find the Enterprise adrift in space and board the ship, one thing is immediately noticeable: they have huge ears.

Once they wake Archer, they find themselves in a battle of wits as the captain, Trip, and T'Pol work to free the ...

January 31, 2022 11:29 - 42 minutes - 29.8 MB“Rogue Planet” 20th-anniversary reflections. A camping trip turns mysterious—and potentially deadly—when giant snails get into Captain Archer's head.

January 24, 2022 12:46 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MB“Fusion” 20th-anniversary reflections. When a Vulcan ship shows up, Archer is ready for more of the charming conversation made famous by Captain Vanik. What he gets is something altogether different. The captain of this ship, Tavin, says he and his crew are on a mission of exploration. But what they are exploring isn't space but rather emotions. Sound crazy? Well, not all Vulcans are in love with logic, and this group, known as the V'tosh ka'tur, would not be welcome at the High Command. O...
