#Similitude (ENT 3x10)

[risingchaos]

Say what you will about Voyager and Enterprise, but nothing quite compares to the absolutely batshit episodes in those two shows. Canon mpreg, two characters get merged together, clone made to save a man’s life gains sentience and doesn’t want to have brain surgery, warp barrier break evolves man into salamander where he mates with his captain (also a salamander), whatever the fuck The Thaw was. I love it. I want more befuddling Star Trek.

Star Trek Enterprise Rewatch:

3x10 Similitude

First aired: 19 November 2003

Synopsis: To save Trip from dying they grow a clone to harvest his body for parts Trip needs to survive.

Ash’s rating: 4/7

oh no, who died?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is it Porthos?

oh no, it’s Trip!

oops xD

I WILL TOUCH THE SKY

T’Pol and Trip are massaging each other's feet….

and talking about the engines

why…. why…. why do you have to be in that position??

why

they are getting up to warp 4.9, that’s pretty fast

everything is running smoothly

aaaaand now it’s not so smooth anymore

uh-oh, fire in engineering

and on the bridge

daaammmnnnn that was some explosion

poor Trip

ouch

they dropped out of warp, they are in some kind of polaric field…. I see

Trip’s in a coma… he might not survive

dang

oohhh 

OOOHH

i remember 

Phlox has a creature that can clone a being and they are considering growing one and using the clone’s body to heal the original…

that nebula they are in (or whatever) seems a bit weird

“Earth needs Enterprise, Enterprise needs Trip.”

they are doing it, they are going to grow a clone

oohhh, the Enterprise looks bad

the clone will die within 15 days

BABY

babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Phlox has basically adopted him

his name is Sim

oh no, the boy has Trip’s memories

he is growing fast

and he doesn’t know the truth yet

Archer is going to explain

DAMN THE ENTERPRISE LOOKS SO BAD

PORTHOOOOOS

he’s taking on Trip’s accent xD

awww Archer is showing him how to fly a little model shuttle

he is confused about his name

oohhh he now sees his older self!

Archer looks soooo done

oh boi, the boy doesn’t really… care?

young Trip is inviting T’Pol to movie night… or dinner…

uh-oh, the field they are in is, what, eating through the ship’s hull and systems

i still don’t understand T’Pol’s pajamas

oh noooo, Sim is implying that Trip has feelings for T’Pol

NOOOOOOOOOO

Sim is thinking about T’Pol all the time….

oh boi

not cool man

he doesn’t know if they are Trip’s feelings or his

NO YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE SAID THAT 

they are trying to toe Enterprise out of that field with the shuttles

it’s not really working

they are moving! just in time!

very slowly moving but moving

oooh they got faster already

Sim won’t survive the transplant

Phlox feels so bad…

there might be a chance to get Sim a normal life span

Sim wants to survive and continue Trip’s life, basically

Okay, Archer is choosing Trip’s life over Sim’s. Just like that. Moral dilemma solved??

Sim wants to spend his last hours in engineering

wait so all the stuff that clung to the hull of the Enterprise is just gone when they left the field?

Sim almost stole a shuttle

Why does Sim have Porthos?

I want a Porthos

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO T’Pol kissed him

um… in case you haven’t noticed yet: I don’t ship T’Pol/Trip

oh my god Sim and Phlox are having a father/son convo <3

damn Archer, have you slept? have you eaten? 

Notes: They tackled a moral dilemma, the whole “let’s grow a new person just to use it’s organs”, but it was over pretty fast, the decision that Trip had the right to survive while Sim didn’t was so clear in Archer’s and idk… bit disappointing.
