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
The Best of Intentions
An Earth-like planet is explored by the Enterprise crew. They are doing fine until they come to realize that there are forces at work on the planet that could lead to domination and death. There is some kind of generating device that is capable of great destruction. Archer meets a female scientist. If we wanted to nitpick, we could say it's odd that this woman, except for some facial features, similar to stitches on a baseball, is awfully attractive and earth-human. Archer falls for her. Not only is she physically attractive; she is extremely wise. She also handles their abilities and actions without batting an eye. I would expect a bit more bewilderment as they face off with weapons drawn from someone who lives in a really primitive environment. I guess the prime directive hasn't quite found its way into the vocabulary yet.
