Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaT'Pol makes reference to a protocol which states that it is wise "to wait until a society develops warp drive before initiating first contact." She goes on to say that it would be wise for Starfleet to adopt these "Vulcan protocols." Starfleet later adopts them as part of the essential Prime Directive, serving as a benchmark for measuring development of a civilization and admission to the Federation.
- GoofsThe alien ship is in geosynchronous orbit on the opposite side of the planet and is shuttling cargo back and forth from from their mining operation in the city below Enterprise. Are the sensors on the Enterprise so poor that they wouldn't detect a alien shuttle landing and taking off right below their position?
- Quotes
Captain Jonathan Archer: A farm?
Sub-Commander T'Pol: It's remote and sparsely populated. If you're exposed, there's a reduced risk of cultural contamination.
Captain Jonathan Archer: This must be why aliens are always landing in cornfields.

Featured review
Once again, Archer and the gang go blundering in....but with positive results.
It's obvious on this series that T'Pol is often irritated by how foolhardy the humans can be when it comes to meeting new races. Once again, the ship comes to a planet and Archer insists on landing to at least observe the Akaali. Fortunately, they at least took some of T'Pol's advice to heart and went in disguise. Also fortunate is that the ship DID investigate, as they soon are shocked to find that some other advanced species is on the planet in disguise also--and these beings are NOT particularly nice and don't mind if they kill a few of the Akaali in the process. So it's up to the landing party to right things without alerting the Akaali of their presence.
This is an interesting episode and a great example of the humans doing good because they are just so darned swell. Worth seeing but not among the better episodes.
