Okay, you know the drill, folks...
I gave it a 6. The episode was pretty average, but I like Trip's scene near the end where he, nearly in a state of heat-sickness delirium, gasps into his personal log all the memorable things that have happened to him during his time on Enterprise. (Obviously he doesn't count getting pregnant in "Unexpected" as memorable, since he didn't mention it. That's probably a good thing, I would say. :rolleyes: )
A generous four.
Bland for the most part.
There were some promising moments, such as the final exchange between Trip and the alien, but it felt like a wasted opportunity still.
I didn't like Trip's monologue, mostly because it felt out of character and coming out of nowhere. (He did mention his pregnancy though.)
Don't really remember the rest. I saw it yesterday and apart from those two scenes nothing seems to have stuck.
Whatever that means.
Enemy Mine redux...
...but it was fun. I'm surprised Trip didn't get laid.
Down to the aliens themselves I thought this was a complete rip-off of that movie.
I was not upset though as Tripp is becoming one of my favorite reasons to watch the show. ( He at least is going somewhere unlike Travis/Hoshi)

i gave it a 5, while I see the plagerism from Enemy Mine, I also find it to be a complete re-hash of the Ep with Geordi and the Romulan stranded on Galordan Core.
Which is why I gave it a 2. They managed to use the same idea that had already been done twice (shades of "Darmok" as well). :(
