IQs have dropped... AGAIN!
By Sunspot

Although the episode had some decent moments, "Hatchery" lost me in the beginning because I think, once again, it makes the crew look stupid. This is especially disappointing considering the string of recent episodes where they were written much better ("Proving Ground," "Stratagem," "Harbinger"). I began to get annoyed the moment they started taking off their helmets in this alien environment before determining if there were any bio-hazards. Why would they do this? To conserve oxygen? (No, to get infected, of course.) But what really pissed me off is when Archer starts acting whacky and risking the mission to find the Xindi weapon, no one says, "Hmmm, maybe it has something to do with him getting sprayed by that alien whatever. Maybe we should check a little closer." It isn't until very late in the episode (and long after he relieves T'Pol of her duties) that they begin to do this. As Star Trek fans we know exactly what's happening and how it's going to turn out. We have to watch while the crew run around in circles and finally start to figure out something we knew from the beginning. I think it makes the crew look dumb and bores the audience. And I really, really want the crew to look and act intelligent--it's much more entertaining.
