Good review
By sb2004

All in all a good review, though I still disagree with Deus over his assessment of the T'Pol subplot which I still find one of the most fascinating aspects of the series (among many other fascinating aspects).

I also disagree regarding the handling of Trip's grief. As someone who didn't cry for a dead grandmother for nearly a year it is NOT uncommon for people to put it off. In the case of Trip, he was distracted both by work and by T'Pol -- and he masked a lot of his grief with anger. But when is forced to confront the loss of his sister through the loss of fellow crewpeople, it all comes out. This was the PERFECT time for Trip to finally grieve, and I think the show has treated it perfectly throughout the season (and I'm including the neuropressure sessions in this assessment). The "goodbye Elizabeth" scene is the most clear closure of a sub-arc that Trek has likely ever provided.

There were so many other good things about this episode I could go on all day. I do not feel it is better than Damage, which in turn is only a hair lower on the scale than Twilight. But man -- is it ever getting crowded at the top of the scale!
