Scientific Method was the first episode that came to mind when watching Observer Effect. In Scientific Method the observing aliens were more cold blooded and sinister because they secretly and carelessly tortured crewmen including the captain.

The story in Observer Effect has a consistent emotional tenor to it and the screenplay was better than usual. Unlike the aliens in Scientific Method, the Organics were at least able to consider a philosophic arguement at the end. It seems as if the Organics were written as being ready for a change in direction. Reeds character seemed bored with the predictability of the entire experiment. No doubt due to the endless testing the Organics had done.

Oh and as far as I'm concerned, Season 3 of Enterprise was by far the best season the show has had.

I'm actually pretty impressed with the fact that this is an even handed review, don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed O'Dues's reviews in the past but they were always uber-negative in my opinion, probably the first even handed review I've seen O'Deus do in a loooooooooong time..

Deus, just to clarify:

Quote:
With the question of originality there are of course dozens of episodes from the Original Series and through VOYAGER that could be referenced but then it's increasingly hard for ENTERPRISE to do a genuinely original story.

Was this intended as a stab at the writers' lack of originality, or was this just intended to say that when you've done 700 episodes, it's hard to come up with something fresh? It could be taken either way.

  It means that star trek has done so many episodes it's hard for them to find original stories.

This ENT basher is impressed | Report this post to moderator

As someone who has a strong dislike of Enterprise, even I have to admit that Observer Effect was a good-to-great episode. It was strongly written and acted, something that I can rarely say about an episode of Enterprise. What I really liked was the equality of dialogue and screen time given to all the cast. Everyone had something interesting and meaningful to do, which shows how episodes can be improved with just that one adjustment. Some of Hoshi's background story rang false (i.e. breaking CO's arm, being a black belt), but I liked the interplay between her and Trip, especially the part where they say they're envious of each other's skills. That's the kind of simple yet natural character touch that I took for granted on DS9. Heck, Trip had more chemistry in one episode with Hoshi than in three seasons with T'Pol.

Also, this was surprisingly strong for a ship-based bottle episode. There was no reliance on superfluous action or space battles, no continuity breakage or overkill, no planet of the week, etc. The possession/virus plotline would appear on the surface to be a rehash, but this episode had enough good elements in it to make it fresh.

My question is, good lord where was this stuff for the first three seasons? There have been some strong episodes this season, but Observer Effect is the very first episode of ENT that I've actually liked from start to finish. I hope they can keep this up, but I'm sorry, one great episode out of eighty is not nearly enough to change my opinion of ENT.

    I was so turned off by the first season of ENT that I stopped watching after a few episodes, something I've never done with a Trek series. I would check out the occasional episode to see if there was any improvement, but there never would be. The third season held my interest a little more, but not enough to make me a regular viewer. This fourth season has been better, so I've seen every episode so far. That doesn't make me an ENT supporter though. The reason I keep giving it a chance is because I like Star Trek. I just don't like ENT. Maybe that doesn't make sense, but that's the explanation.

      Sorry I completely understand what you mean, and I find myself in a simaler situation, although I completly tuned out last year out of complete disinterest - I think your reference to yourself as an ent basher made me think it was more of a serious pass time as it is for many to watch every episode and then complain - which I have never understood the "logic" of.

Chip and Dale | Report this post to moderator
By: TRexx (Odo's file, contact) @ 10:17:34 on Jan 24, 2005 | (3)

Observer Effect is one of the shabbiest and contrived scripts of the series. Virtually all of the dialog to and from the Chip 'n' Dale alien duet is nonsensical.

Key to the premise of this episode is that it's the first encounter between Organian and Human, yet Chip and Dale, as Hoshi and Tucker, have a chitchat in decon that's loaded with the baggage of racial familiarity and prejudice...

Tucker: "What do you have against this species?"

Hoshi: "What disturbs me most about the Humans is their capacity for violence."

Tucker: "Klingons embrace violence, the Humans try to avoid it."

Hoshi: "Humans say they avoid it, but their words don't ma... We're being observed."

The Organians already had the 411 on Human behavior, so their jig is all for naught. Where did Chip learn about the Human capacity for anything, and why didn't that knowledge base contain accounts of Human intelligence, persistence, and compassion?

The daffy dialog in this episode is worthy of a junior school play, not prime time Trek. Let's examine some of it, shall we?

Just prior to the aforementioned decon scene, Dale (as Mayweather) says to Chip (as Reed), "We came to observe their response to the unexpected, not to watch them suffer". This is to say that they're familiar with corporeal suffering, and that they know it's happening to the Humans. Nonetheless, as soon as they leap into the sickly bodies of Hoshi and Tucker, Dale is surprised, noting "The sensations in this host are different from the others; I'm experiencing physical pain". Yes, Dale, that's the corporeal suffering you were just harping about to Chip, remember? And if you wanted to talk private-like, why did you leap into the two most closely monitored crewmen on the ship? Better to have poofed your incorporeal selves somewhere into the silent ether, especially as you later grouse, "Talking is a limited form of communication for us. We're much more advanced than humans."

Our Scooby Gang are often strangers to the obvious -- thus sleuth Archer seeks the virus in meteorite craters, ignoring the Klingon Porta-Potty and garbage dump that Hoshi and Tucker had been tossing around in while on the planet -- but wouldn't Chip and Dale be the Organian equivalent of scientists, since theirs is a scientific mission? Yeah, so why doesn't Chip understand the standard procedure and commonsense of isolating an unknown and contagious pathogen during the process of identification and search for a cure?...

Reed: "Captain Archer's done nothing different from the Klingons. The launch bay and decon chamber are completely isolated from the rest of the ship."

Mayweather: "So, it doesn't matter if an infected landing party comes aboard."

Reed: "Precisely. Humans don't want to interact with dying crew mates any more than Klingons did."

Chip can't fathom the difference between Klingon murder and Human quarantine of infected crew. Then there's this, from Phlox's confrontation with Chip (as T'Pol) in sickbay...

T'Pol: "We're here to observe. We can't interfere."

Phlox: "You're interfering with me!"

T'Pol: "Our subjects are Human, you're Denobulan."

What is Chip saying? Is Phlox treated any differently than others? No, he's body-snatched and memory-wiped too.

Phlox: "No wonder you erase memories. Your behavior is appalling."

You're right, Phlox, but these are prickish ENT Organians, not the wise messengers created by TOS.

"According to what I read on the doctor's medical padd, he's learned how to stop the infection", notes Dale, to which Chip huffs, "Expending resources to attempt an impossible task is not a sign of intelligence". Excuse me? First, expending resources to accomplish a task is mostly unavoidable to physical beings, so Chip is again the bonehead. Second, Phlox has learned how to stop the infection, so the task of defeating the virus can't be called "impossible" at this point. Bonehead.

Hoshi goes flatline in sickbay. Cardiac arrest used to be cause to call the morgue, but modern medical techniques reduce it to a Code Blue. Does Archer act like there's no hope for Hoshi at that point? Not at all. Phlox certainly isn't signaling defeat. So, what is it that prompts Chip to say "they know it's hopeless" when no one in the experiment actually believes it's hopeless? What does he know about Human response to a crisis? Gaining such knowledge is what this farce, erm, process is all about.

It's evident that ENT writers watched Errand of Mercy for this story, and they heard the TOS Organian elder say, "We find interference in other people's affairs most disgusting"; thus Observer Effect lip-services noninterference no less than four times. Do Chip and Dale actually practice what they preach? Of course not. All of that body-snatching and memory-wiping is gross interference to the affairs of free will, and the alien behaviors of the possessed adversely effect natural (Human) interaction, particularly among people who live and work together.

Compassion sways Chip and saves the day. "What Archer has done today -- his act of compassion -- you've never witnessed that before", declares Dale. Pardon me for asking, but exactly which act of compassion can Archer take credit for? Removal of EV gloves, at personal risk? No, that was Phlox's initiative. Indignation toward Organian inhumanity? No, Chip and Dale got that first from Phlox. Hmm. Phlox is a model of intelligence, guardianship, and self-sacrifice. From what Chip and Dale have witnessed, Humans may be intelligent-primate servants and soldiers, bred to mimic and uphold the values of their Denobulan caretakers. Chip's report could read, "In a crisis, Humans loyally follow the teachings of their Denobulan mascot."

The experiment is a bust!

Star Trek fans who understand Errand of Mercy will recognize that the victims in this latest insult to viewer intelligence are the Organians, as highly evolved creatures of conscience who are rendered into boneheads for Observer Effect. This is classic B&B: Make our heroes seem smart by presenting others as uncommonly stupid.

Yes, Dale, that's the corporeal suffering you were just harping about to Chip, remember?
  
  Physically experiencing pain is different from the abstract knowledge of pain. Just as getting a disease is different from 'knowing about the disease' It's an entirely different level of knowledge, experience vs. abstract knowledge. Which is what this episode is about too.

  They're not saying it's bad scientific procedure, just that the isolation is part of a psychological process of isolation and dehumanization. Think of the people who advocate segregating people with AIDS into leper colonies.

  No species had managed to stop the infection. Phlox failed too. The task was impossible in the amount of time given. They had enough experience over 10,000 years to decide it was impossible and thus far they had been proven right.
  
  Compassion sways Chip and saves the day. "What Archer has done today -- his act of compassion -- you've never witnessed that before", declares Dale.

  It was Phlox's idea but Archer was the one who actually sacrificed his life to do it.

    The boneheaded ENT Organians couldn't see how a Denobulan CMO skews their study of Human response to a medical crisis, in terms of problem solving and technology.

      The actual experience of it is surprising to him since he is a non-corporeal entity and the physical experience of suffering and disease is shocking to him.
      
      This isn't about living with a disease. It's about the procedure for studying pathogens, versus blindly obliterating the source.
      
      Historically human responses to plagues have often incorporated both.
      
      Seven other species had developed the radiation cure, just not in time to save their crew. Only Hoshi, Tucker, and Archer had been infected by the time Phlox succeeded in finding a way to stop the infection, so the remainder of the crew were safe.
      
      The crew was safe but the task of actually succeeding with a cure had failed for 10,000 years and was therefore justifiably labeled impossible. Enterprise's efforts failed as well.
      
      Yes, the Human loyally followed the teachings of his Denobulan mascot.
      
      Hardly Phlox protested Archer's action.
      
      When a firefighter rushes into a building prepeared to die to save someone inside, he gets the credit for making the sacrifice, not the person who comes up with the idea.

  Great post! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt insulted... but more so for the Organian race. This is definitely not the same race from Errand of Mercy.
  
  Probably the worst offense by this episode, however, is its coma-inducing dullness. From the boring Vulcan arc to the boring transporter-guy story to the boring Organian episode... it almost makes me wish for a little Nazi alien action - almost.

After finding myself kinda drowsy after "Daedalus" (a nice episode, but quite my cup of tea) I was thoroughly engaged in "Observer Effect." This episode took eerie-ness to a level that we haven't seen in a while. I'm overjoyed when an episode goes to commercial leaving my wondering what actually is going to happen next. The cinematography, music, writing, and performances brought together a story that ultimately gave me the willies... much more so than Season 3's "Impulse" ever did.

Noteworthy: The Reeves-Stevens' masterful manipulation of the written word. Linda Park's journey into Hoshi (I loved the poker story... Hoshi always seemed out of place on Enterprise… I like the idea of giving her some rebel qualities). Mayweather's possessor and his "what ya guys thinking about?" shtick, which transferred over to Phlox seamlessly. The "defibrillator" used on Hoshi. T'Pol's very subdued (or Vulcan) concern over Trip's condition.

My favorite part of this episode was the use of the view screens throughout the story. Watching the characters watching the other characters through the various view screens on the ship brought a lot of eerie qualities to the lighting and cinematography. The directors are really finding some great camera angles this year. I guess somebody is figuring out that when it comes to Star Trek, you get a bigger pay-off from cool camera play than ass shots.

It was kind of intoxicating to watch everything in this episode come together so well. Other people have already commented on the story and the acting. I would like to comment on the soundtrack and the visuals.

Unlike last weeks "Deadalus" the soundtrack in "Observer Effect" is dramatic and enhances the tension and suspense of each scene. It never feels misplaced either. Silence is utilised when appropiate. My guess is, it was composed by Jay Chattaway and his underlings but I didn't get to see the name. At least I hear a distinct difference between Paul Baillargeon and the other regulars.

The visuals were simple but effective. They were never distracting but stayed in the background and enhanced the eerieness. For the first time we see the lights in a corridor change to deep red, to signal the area is contaminated. It's also the first time we see the lights being switched off in many quick strokes, as Hoshi broke out of the decon-chamber. Also, the device used to activate Hoshi's heart again (it failed, as these devices usually do in Star Trek) but it gave her many quick electrical charges. These are dramatic effects that stand out, especially since they're new in Star Trek. Of course there are remote similarities but they're not overused.

All in all, everything worked for me in this episode and I think the beautiful performances from everyone involved deserves praise.

Deus-baby, we must have watching different shows. Or are you pandering to your critics who called for your head last year?

How butt-numblingly BORING was this?

How many times must this tired plot be used in a Trek series?

This was a sad episode.

Okay, they have run out of money.

Okay, it was nicely directed.

Okay, we finally get some Hoshi-time.

But an hour later Stargate Atlantis was running an excellent action-packed episode. And Enterprise was left looking a sad runner-up.

And from the trailer, it looks like the cartoon sci-fi storylines are back next week.

      Actually...
      
      I've been watching "Lost" a lot lately and some production reports for that show say that one of the main characters would be dying before the season was over. I forgot which show I was watching for a moment or two and for a second there I though, OMG, they're going to kill off Hoshi!
      
      ...but then I remembered.
      
      It's not that one of them may die... what made it engaging for me was not knowing exactly what was going to happen next. It's very rare for ANY television show to do that to me, and there was enough original material here with enough neat little twists to keep me guessing.

        Look at the polls and see that you are a minority. That's not so important of course, but maybe you don't give yourself time to really sit down and watch. It's one of those episodes that require you to be completely present. Remember, ALWAYS turn off the lights, the phones, the radio, move the children to another room, so you can concentrate! It's not a meaningless action flick that you can follow with only one eye and a half ear, as you stand in the kitchen, but a character piece that slowly involves you, if you allow it!

Human emotions, empathy and its very irrationality stymie logic as effectively as they stymie the predictive abilities of the alien using Reed as a host

This scene also shows the difference of piloshophies between the more compassionate Organinian and the rational one. They have the following dialogue:

Host-Mayweather: "Total number of possible outcomes is limited."
Host-Reed: "10 to the 123rd power."
Host-Mayweather: "That's what I mean. Chess is so predictable - I'm surprised anyone bothers to play it."

What the Organian in Mayweather's body is saying to the other is 'how is rational thought ultimately satisfying if it is so predictable?'
