Next time, wear a body condom!
"Unexpected" is the first really good episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise"...something the show really needed after a couple rather weak episodes.
The show begins with the humans discovering a strange cloaked ship hiding in their wake. These aliens were harmless and friendly and Trip agrees to go to their ship to help them repair their warp engines. Here is a neat detail--he could not just beam over or even go directly aboard by shuttle. It seems that the pressure and atmosphere were so different that Trip needed to go through a length 'acclamation' process.
Following this odd process, things seemed to go very well aboard the Xyrillian vessel. Trip particularly enjoyed his time spent with a female engineer. However, what he didn't realize (especially since they never appeared to have sex) is that he became pregnant due to this contact!! This is only discovered later and Enterprise spends several days looking for the Xyrillians trying to figure out what to do with Trip and his 'predicament'!
This episode has TONS going for it. In addition to the cool acclamation process, the show features a great meeting with the Klingons, the BEST dialog from T'Pol you'll ever hear as well as a great sense of humor. Terrific....and an episode you'll never forget!
