[ENT] Season 3, Episode 5: Impulse

Impulse

Rating: 2

This episode answers some questions about the expanse and starts a new element in the story arc, so it should be watched for continuity. There is a lot of time spent escaping zombie-vulcans, and watching T’Pol slowly go insane, both of which can be a little silly.

They start up the movie night thing again. Kind of takes away from the seriousness of their mission. Also, I don't think I've ever seen Trip make that face. Is he watching the same movie as everyone else?
