ENT - "Breaking the Ice"



This episode has two plots: the discovery of a giant comet and T'Pol's personal choices.

The comet plot is the same scientific nothingness that we've seen over and over again from Enterprise thus far. It's moderately interesting, but not going to blow anyone away.

The T'Pol drama is the real meat of the story. For the first time, we're seeing T'Pol turn slightly more towards humanity, choosing to make her own decisions separate from her strict Vulcan culture. With Trip—who, more than any other crewmember, represents the emotional and comparatively rural nature of humanity—slightly involved in this specific situation, everything is that much more interesting.


This isn't a very important episode, nor is it all that highly entertaining, but it's nice.
