ENT - Carbon Creek

Carbon Creek is both a thourly entertaining episode and makes significant contributions to the Star Trek cannon. It has its share of humorous moments, as there always is when Vulcans try to make sense of human behavior, but also a great deal of effective serious senses. Perhaps the best part of the episode is the ending. The writers lead us to believe that the entire episode was a “fish story” until T’mir’s handbag is reviled in the final scene, this device is very effective. Yet more comments about the potential of humanity are made in this episode. Also notable is the fact that Reed, Mayweather, phlox and Hoshi do not appear at all on this episode. Carbon creek was one of the more memorable episodes of the second season of Enterprise mostly because of its unique storyline.
