Phase Pistols & Pointed Ears:
Detained

    Not a lot of Polly and The Reedygoodnesss, just Re'Pol to the Rescue! Archer is in trouble again, and Mayweather has something to do, too!  The best part about this episode is Dean Stockwell.  I hope Grat returns sometime.  He and Archer debate back and forth.  Malcolm wouldn't try and be coy, he would have lost his temper by now.
    T'Pol also seems slighty agitated when Grat explains its all just a misunderstanding. Yeah Right.  Trip buts in the conversation while Reed sits at his station, stunned. 'Not again!'   Naturally, Reed is suspicious enough and tries to trace the signal.  T'Pol doesn't think a rescue is the right approach, and even offers a Vulcan lawyer to help in the diplomacy.  When Grat calls again, Malcolm works quickly while Trip and T'Pol stall.  Hoshi tracks the signal, and T'Pol agrees to just 'take a look around'.

    Grat questions Archer about the Suliban, and Reed would be very unhappy at his knowledge and information.  Enterprise arrives and transports a communicator to Archer. Who's idea was that I wonder? Trip, hogging Tactical as usual, says they can transport them out, but Archer says no.  Archer wants to stay and help these wrongfully accused Suliban.  Now, the question of questions here What would Reed Do?  We know T'Pol might find it unfortunate, but it is not thier place to do anything about it.  Reed would either not give a damn or give so much of a damn he'd be all gung ho about it! We shall see.

    There's a cool promo pic of Reed sitting at his station that comes from this scene. Very cool. Serious Zoolander Look!  Reed crosses his arms at the thought of these nasty Tandarans! (Am I supposed to be counting arms crosses?)
    Archer lands himself in isolation, and Reed puts on his Suliban disguise, but I can still tell he's going to be the hero! 80)  T'Pol stalls Grat, and I think she is beginning to enjoy this play acting thing.  She offers him to dinner while Hoshi floods their sensors.  I like how they try and hide what Trip and Reed are up to.  As if anyone couldn't notice he wasn't at Tactical!

    Travis gets a knock to his cell door, (Not a bad guy to have knock on your door! >80) ) 'I understand you're looking for a way out of here.'  What kind of accent was that, Malcolm?!  Travis is confused.  'Don't you recognize me, Travis?' There's his accent, go boy!  Malcolm, 'in the flesh' laughs and hands Travis a phase pistol.  Mr. Reed says he's finally getting used to the transporter, and that they didn't detect it thanks to Hoshi. He can't be too obvious, you know. Which makes him all the more obvious, but I digress.
    'Congradulations, Ensign. Your case is about to be dismissed' and with that Reed vows to go and find Archer.  Oh no! Inspections come early and Reed comms T'Pol, telling her to 'speed things up a little.' hehe. T'Pol answers 'We'll do our best.'  >80)

    A guard questions the Suliban disguised Malcolm, and shocks him with his bad ass alien nightstick. I love Malcolm's cry of pain, I really do, but if  looks could kill,  Reed would at least be nuclear!  80)   Travis looks at Our Mr. Reed like 'Heel!'
    T'Pol gladly tells the other old dude at Tactical  'Aft Torpodes. Fire.'  T'Pol knows how to damage the baddies ships.  Polly comms Reed, but did she really have to? You would think they would want as much silence as possible, considering Grat uses Archer's communicator to threaten T'Pol.  She just wanted to here Malcolm's voice!
    Travis stalls, rather poorly, but a stall is a stall. Reed applauds Travis' efforts (Ever notice he always compliments other officers. Except One! Hmmm)  Malcolm sets his charges to blow the wall. He ushers the prisoners away, smiles at the stupid guards, and enjoys his explosion!  Mr. Reed calls in his success to Tucker, who takes out the guard towers while the Suliban escape.  Hey, does Malcolm get all his phase pistols back?

    Archer's cell door opens, and he almost clubs Malcolm, until he recognizes him.  'How'd you know it was me?' Reed pouts. What no sir?  Grat does club Mal and argues with Archer. I love when Grat cracks.  Reed recovers (That sounds like some football manuever, The Reed Recover!) Naturally, OMR saves Archer again.  Despite his Suliban makeup, Reed gives Grat this 80p look.
    I really would like to know what happened to these Suliban. Oh well.  Archer contacts Enterprise, but Reed buts in. He asks T'Pol if she will ask Phlox to meet them in sickbay.  'My skin is really starting to itch!' I like when Malcolm is loose and cool. Uptight Malcolm would never admit anything on him itches.  T'Pol simply responds 'I'll let him know.'  We don't see her, it comes over the speaker, but it sounds more like 'I'll let him know!'  We don't see it because she's smiling! 80)
