When the Entrepreneur happens upon some expanding space queso, they rescue an alien pod and find a hotboxing party guy inside. But after various types of tension start boiling over on the ship, the new mystery alien disappears with a vaguely Xindi threat. Where are there no rules about having a crock pot? Which kind of alien never gets considered on Star Trek? What has Dark Archer started calling the airlock? It’s the episode that’s exciting, but also shocking and disquieting.
Listening to this episode, I remembered how I just never could warm up to Malcom Reed. I couldn’t stand him across the whole 4 seasons.
It’s not Keating’s fault, the performance is fine. It’s just the character that bums me out.
Reed really is awful. It’s almost better to be blandly forgettable like Mayweather or Hoshi.
