236: This Old Chair

"Singularity" 20th-anniversary reflections When the crew of the NX-01 discovers a class-four black hole, they decide to investigate. But the closer they get, the more they lose grip on reality. As they approach the black hole, they each become obsessed with trivial matters. Reed searches for the perfect alarm to get everyone's attention, Hoshi seeks to make the perfect dish, Phlox turns into Dr. Frankenstein, and Trip prepares to pitch his new HGTV series, This Old Chair. Thankfully, Vulcan physiology is unaffected by the phenomenon and T'Pol is able to pull everyone out of danger at the last second. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 2 with "Singularity" as we discuss a story that's been told many times before and ask how well it works this time around.
