Ah yes. More Polly and The Reedygoodness from the beginning!  Poor Sluggo.  I bet Malcolm thinks the worm is a threat! T'Pol of course, would agree bringing it on the ship was illogical.   T'Pol is trying very much not to laugh at Archer and his squeak, and she can't resist a comment when she leaves him.
    Malcolm meanwhile is all hot and bothered about the torepodes.  Out of the gutter people!  Heaven forbid the  weapons are off  by .02%!  Reed doesn't care if he disables or destroys a ship, just that Enterprise may get damaged in the process.  What is this boy's fixation with equipment being more important than people?  And what exactly was he off doing before Enterprise loonched that this stuff  isn't done?  He just hasn't met the right Vulcan yet.

  Reed Rule #1-assume every alien is hostile!    He tells Archer it's not going well. My boy speaks well as well 80) And he says thank you <sigh>  Poor Malcolm!  Archer stops to find him something to blow up, and the torpedo misses!  I think Mally was trying to scare everyone with the second one.  See what happens when we're unprepared people!  Archer says they can't sit around for him to fix it, and Reed just blinks at him like the Captain's an idiot.
    Speaking of which 8-D. Watch Malcolm why Archer is talking to the Comm air. With Arms crossed! Reed keeps looking up at Trip like 'Can you believe this guy?'  T'Pol, of course, is examining the ship and claims it has 'High yield particale impact'  Of course, us in the know are aware that means weapons.  She just couldn't say what was really on her mind.
    T'Pol, just like Reed, has no interesting exploring this ship, and Polly really protests when Archer tells Malcolm to prep a shuttlepod.  Reed appears to nod at T'Pol, assuring her he will be alright.
    Who thinks Malcolm really watches science fiction movies? Me niether.  I love the Phase Rifles, but Archer makes him put them back.  Reed Rule #2-'You can't be too careful, sir.'  note-RR#2 always followed by 'Captain is an idiot' look.

     'Just our luck!' Reed says about the locked hatch. Yeah right.  He even tells Archer where he wants to put the charges to blow it up.  Haha, Archer found the lock. 'Sorry, Malcolm!'  Reed hangs his head.  No rifles, no explosion, idiot Captain! ;0)
    Sure  I pick on Archer, but Mal isn't above male idiotcy.  The banter with Hoshi about the ladder is great.  And note to R/S shippers; When Hoshi is all screaming, does Malcolm help her?  No. 80p  He's more concerned about the stupid bloodsucking pumps.  Reed doesn't seem too upset, but when they get back he tells T'Pol it was 15 bodies, correcting Archer's guess of 12.   Did anyone notice the filming of the scene in the changing room? Malcom is on the bench.  Out of the conversation but still in the shot between Archer and T'Pol.  DK, or course, uses this Reed time wisely.  He checks T'Pol out, then gets undressed. >8o)

    T'Pol naturally is unaffected by the whole dead body thing.  For a Vulcan she is very opinionated.  She tells Archer she has a code of behavior and tries to stick to it!  Ahem, and what is making that so difficult for her I wonder?  Boo all you naysayers, Look who T'Pol is standing next to in the Situation Room! 80p
    Reed wants to take a security  team back to the dead ship.  Um, their dead Malcolm. You gotta love dialogue between Reed and T'Pol.  Its supposed to be all business, but we know it isn't

T'Pol: Bridge to Armory.
Reed: Armory.
    Could they be anymore formal? That's borderline on hiding something.  At least Malcolm admits there is nothing he can do in 10 mintues, despite T'Pol's adamite 'Are you able to defend this ship?!'
Reed:  Look, if you want me to hit the broad side of a stationary dairy barn  I could accomodate you.
    Who else thinks he's lactose intolerant?
T'Pol: Do the best you can but I need you on the Bridge in 5 minutes!
    Okay, why does she need him on the Bridge? There's that old dude that fills in at Tactical.  For the record, Malcolm gets there in 2, with his forward tubes loaded and ready! 80)

    Reed gets  to fire two shots at the bad aliens, but both are ineffective.  Archer glares at Malcolm.  Reed is like 'If you let me align them when I asked! Bloody idiot!'  Malcolm  gets further annoyed at the idea of being 'probed'.  He leaps from his chair at the order to let out the armed guard. However, something beeps and Mal rushes back to his station.  That boy knows his sensors!
    Malcolm doesn't seem to interested in Hoshi's linguistic display; he keeps his head down. 80p  I love when DK gets into the ship shaking! Shaken, not stirred!  Reed asks permission to fire and is so happy when he gets a hit.  He would have been happier if Hoshi would have given him sluggo for Target Practice!
