I've finally seen this episode:

Of course it would! I think BritChick is right, it was a way of seeing more of Scott Bakula - seriously though, he's quite an old guy, is he a sex-symbol?
What happened to Doctor-Patient confidentiality? Trip had to ASK that it be kept from the rest of the crew, but the Captain and T'Pol were already told. (maybe the Captain needed to know) But then, the Captain goes and blabs it to the waiter, why not just announce it on the Intercom? Mildly funny but unprofessional.
Why does T'Pol (who is supposed to know all about alien lifeforms) so quickly jump to conclusions about how Trip got pregnant? Then we go into the realms of 'Hilarious pregnancy cliches' for 5 minutes. Then the alien woman, Ah'Len, says "I had no idea this could happen with another species!" Don't they teach them anything at school!
Don't you think that Enterprise would have been interested in some of that cool Xyrillian technology too, not just the Klingons? Apart from the re-sequenced photonic holographic simulator, there was the terraphasic warp coils (OK they seemed to be faulty), the stealth technology, and the technology that can resynthesise proteins and carbohydrates. And wouldn't the Klingons be more interested in the Xyrillian's stealth technology than the holography.
Does the Federation get holodeck technology from the Xyrillians? You know it's possible we get it from the Klingons after they develop it, that would explain why it never works in TNG.
Apart from the fact of "Why does Trip know more about the Xyrillian's engines than they do?", why is there this decompression/ acclimatisation process, why not just use environmental suits? OK, maybe because there is less manueverability, but I'm sorry, I just can't see the Klingons doing it twice, for three hours at a time, which is probably why we didn't actually see that part.
I still think it was a mistake to tell the Klingons about the Xyrillians. They would have just fired first and asked questions later. Even Malcolm Reed knew this, and he usually wants to blow everything up himself!
And finally, why were the Xyrillians carrying tanks of Goa'uld larvae?
