Goofs
When V'Lar mentions to the Captain and T'Pol "I would like to thank the crew member who gave up HER quarters" V'Lar had not yet met Hoshi and would not know whether the crew member was male or female. But maybe she could smell it, as T'Pol mentioned earlier the room still smelled like human.

Quotes

Nonsensical writing and baffling, unbelievable plot

This episode sees Archer make one blunder after another.

1) He would risk an Earth-Vulcan incident bc the ambassador wouldn't tell him her secret mission.

2) He turns the ship around making him that much further away from the Vulcan ship.

3) He let's the enemy onto his ship with weapons and greets them without any weapons or a security detail

4) He lets the enemy shoot up the Enterprise sick bay and stands around like a cuck

Either Archer is the worst, most hardheaded Starfleet captain of all time. Or this is just epically terrible writing. It's episodes like these that leaves a terrible after taste in your mouth and you're left wondering, why do I like Star Trek. These types of 1st draft, novice plots should not exist in 2002.
