Okay, but why exactly is Cutler so interesting in making friends with T'Pol and eating plomeek yuck? ;0) I just rewatched this ep and found some mighty  prevelant R/TP.  Prevelant if you're me at least!  Malcolm sure talks about planting flags and getting inside 'the cave' in this episode.  When T'Pol objects to Archer going down to the planet, Malcolm crosses his arms and sinks his head in defeat.  Poor boy.  No planting flags yet indeed.  However, Archer reprimands T'Pol, and Mal quickly gets back to work.  Here's to hoping, little buddy!

    Again with the T'Pol/Cutler stuff!  Polly sure insists that tube be sterilized.  Malcolm's clean, T'Pol, for a human. :0) And another thing, what happened to the damn ball caps?  And there aren't any away jackets in this ep. Hmph.   T'Pol has a bit of sarcacism in her too, just like Malcolm's sublte wit.  T'Pol and posing for more pictures, and Reed in appeasing Archer's complaints about not having a pool on board.  Malcolm is also punctual like T'Pol, and doesn't pick on her like Archer.  Archer was the one who was late to the rendevousz! Reed wouldn't have been! :0P
    Oh yes the ghost story.  Travis' developement per season 1!  T'Pol is so the realist, as we know Malcolm is.  Hello, how come only I and Lady Conqueror see these similarities?

    Malcolm is quite insistant on coming to T'Pol's rescue.  He doesn't want her anywhere near a nutty Tucker trapped in a cave!  T'Pol, of course thinks its too dangerous! Save yourself Malcolm! I bet Mal wanted to clobber Archer when he botched the rescue and damaged the Pod!  Notice T'Pol trusts her scanner more than Travis' eyewitness accounts, then takes the intitiative to investigate further.  Malcolm certainly has no problem using the transporter, when its someone else! hehe.  Why didn't they even try to transport everybody out?

And was it me or did Malcolm smile when Nachovich told the Captain to go to hell?

    T'Reed have so much in common!  Not only does she not like people being irrational, but she is working while being held at phaser point!  But T'Pol also likes things dangerous and volite, and she gets a little trigger happy when under the influence.  Mal's got a bit of that, as we will see ;o)  Malcolm sure picks up the pollenation theory quick. I guess he knows a lot about it!  He seems angry at the 'damn wind' a little too much, don't you think?  He's just Weather Man Extrarodinairre when it comes to Polly! Dominic Keating is the man! Was he trying to do an 'Emergency in Sickbay, Oh My!' meets Zoolander?! Rewatch this one folks, for sure!
