epsiode 1:5 Unexpected (contains spoilers)
An away mission is set to have strange consequences for Trip Tucker in the fourth Enterprise episode 'Unexpected', it was revealed today.
'Unexpected' is rumoured to be the first comic Enterprise episode and will feature the first human male pregnancy.
UPN released their official synopsis for the episode, which will air on Wednesday, October 17 th. The description has been made available online, courtesy of Psi Phi:
When Trip is dispatched to assist an alien ship with its power source problems, he is delighted to have a friendly encounter with one of the ship's female engineers.
But after discovering that their special moment has resulted in his becoming pregnant, he realises he's had an unwitting experience with alien sex. Now it's up to the Archer and the crew to return the rapidly growing alien baby to its mother.
The episode was written by Enterprise co-creators Rick Berman & Brannon Braga. It was directed by veteran director Mike Vejar. Vejar directed 14 episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and has recently directed the upcoming Scifi channel TV movie 'Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers.' 'Unexpected' is his first work for the new Trek series.
The episode will feature the following actors in guest roles:
Julianne Christie as Ah'Len
Randy Oglesby as Trena'L
Christopher Darga as Klingon Captain
Regi Davis as Klingon First Officer
TL Kolman as Alien Man
John Cragen as Crewman
Drew Howerton as Steward
Mike Baldridge as Dillard
Julianne Christie is no stranger to Star Trek, having previously appeared as Neelix' love interest Drexa in the Voyager episode 'Homestead.' The actress has also appeared in numerous other TV roles, including Nash Bridges, and had a role in 1996 film 'The Nutty Proffessor.'
Several other guest actors in this episode also made previous appearances in Trek. Randy Oglesby played Ah-Kel and Ro-Kel in the Deep Space Nine episode 'Vortex,' Silaran Prin in DS9's 'The Darkness and the Light,' and Kir in the season 5 Voyager episode 'Counterpoint.' Christopher Darga had a role as Kaybok in Deep Space Nine's 'The Way of the Warrior,' and Y'Sek in Voyager's 'Think Tank.' And while 'Unexpected' will be his first appearance on screen in Star Trek, John Cragen provided several voices in the Raven Software first person shooter computer game 'Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.'

um - this episode - was, well, weird --
spoilers ahead -- >
it was actually pretty interesting -- (even w/ the weird alien-baby stuff) ---
the aliens were interesting (no pig masks) -- and their ship had some interesting traits --
1st veiw of a 'holodeck'! now, why didn't Archer ask for one of these?? oh yeah -- b/c it would screw up TOS!!! (sorry - snarky - had to do it!)
the holodeck thing was cool - and adds some background -- and some questions -- did Starfleet find these aliens again and ask for info on the holo-imaging tech, or did they develop it themselves???
i wasn't sure if this alien race was a bunch of 'moochers' or were trying to find a way to 'experiment' w/ other species to see if they could reproduce, or if it was 'just an accident' that Trip was 'affected', esp after they locked into the plasma trail of the Klingon ship -- but, when they didn't attempt to 'impregnate' one of the Klingons, then agreed to fly home on impulse power -- they didn't seem so devious --
this episode was funny - and more 'entertaining' than the previous episodes -- but, i'm still trying to get a handle on the show - it really hasn't 'grabbed' me yet -- i'm still waiting --

It was an interesting episode. I think the pregnancy was an accident but she didn't tell Trip what they were really doing. She just told him it was a game.
Poor Trip, don't offend anyone over there but also don't get into trouble. Which is kind of difficult when you don't know the customs.

right - at the end, i figured the pregnancy for an accident --- but the alien chic didn't tell Trip what was going on - AND they did that 'hide in the plasma wake' thing to the Klingons too -- so, until the end, it would be hard to tell if it was done on purpose or not ---
i liked this episode -- looks like Enterprise is working it's way into episodes that will run smoother ---

gee - now why didn't *I* think of that?? that they would be overconfident in their work and believe they wouldn't lose gravity?? um -- HELLO! everything else is breaking, why would the artificial gravity work all the time??????
(sorry -being snarky again)
