ENT: Vanishing Point

         Is the title supposed to be a reference to the audiences level of interest at this point in the show? To start with they had an entire episode about Hoshi, but to make things worse it is an entire episode about her anxieties that turns out the be a dream. Yup. Almost the entire episode took place in 8 seconds. I guess that makes me feel better about the goofy aliens planting a goofy bomb on the ship, but not really. In honor of this dumb, short (at least in terms of actual events) episode, I am going to do a short write up.
         Hoshi and Trip are for some reason exploring ancient, abandoned ruins on an alien world when a storm starts approaching rapidly. There isn't time to use the shuttlepod so Archer decides they need to beam up instead. Hoshi is hesitant so Trip volunteers to go first. Everything goes fine but something goes wrong that makes Hoshi have a bad dream about no one being able to see her and dumb aliens trying to blow up the ship, but then Malcolm recovers her signal and it turns out she is fine.

         Review: Lots of stuff about Hoshi here but none of it good. Not quite the bottom, but you can see it from here. At least I certainly hope so.
