Hoshi is the most boring character on the show. I hope they don't keep her on screen too much. This might kill the momentum they were building

The episode in which they dealt with "Transporter Psychosis" was pretty well received, I believe. I think that they've purposefully built her character around a combination of intellectual expertise (linguistics), a high level of curiosity, and a frailty (or perhaps, vulnerability) that makes her a more sympathetic hero than most of the other characters on board.
Archer, Trip, Malcolm, T'Pol and even Travis have all lashed out emotionally when dealing with the various plot devices thrown at them. Archer and Trip both have become much more angry over the Xindi situation. Malcolm has a tendency to take an oddly, agressive martyr's stance when the chips are down. T'Pol has rebelious fits, so much so that she has rejected her superiors' will and her people's traditions, and in a way so has Travis.
Hoshi, on the other hand, is much less pro-active. She needed a lot more than a nudge to join the crew. She's mentioned more than once that she didn't feel she belonged in space despite her drive to discover new languages.
I'm looking forward to seeing how she deals with another emotional assault on her character.

Well, I thought last weeks episode sounded terrible, and I enjoyed it for the most part, so I'm gonna keep my opinion open for now.
I thought it was a pretty good episode, although it's killing me to figure out who played the telepathic alien. I swear I know that voice from somewhere...
(By the way, for you Dark Angel fans, did you catch the guy who played Ames White as a guest star on Jake 2.0? I've never seen the show, but I recognized that smirk right away in the teaser clip during Enterprise.)
Anyway, I was glad to see Hoshi playing a bigger part this episode. And the bit where Trip accidentally triggered the Shuttlepod's thruster during the repairs on the sphere was hilarious.
Looks like a rerun next week. Bummer.

aliensex said:Yeah, I'm keeping my hopes up as well. Hopefully they come up with something interesting for her to do.
Unfortunately, they did not.
Poor, poor Hoshi is like the red-headed stepchild on this doomed mission (am I referring to the Xindi story arc or the whole series...you decide). I'm certainly eager to see all characters receive their turn in the spotlight but this espisode was just...blech. It was a good story to get Hoshi involved in an episode. It was only an adequate story to give Archer the next piece of the Expanse/Xindi road map. Enterprise could be doing so many new and exciting things but this episode is not one of them. Like previous posters, I thought the "Vombie" episode would be bad but I loved it. Was it for the story? Nope. But it was put together in a great visual-emotional package. If you don't have a story, then you need visual zingers. This episode had very little of either.

I'm going to have to agree... this episode was lukewarm at best.
Hoshi's plot was terribly bland and predictable, and I saw every "twist" a mile away.
The sphere plot was equally bland - the shuttle blasting off was only in there to spice it up a bit. It held no suspence, and I had no worries they would have gotten home.
Very ho hum, especially after the last couple of episodes. I guess they can't all be winners.

While this episode was boring, it really did remind me, at least the Hoshi arc, of classic Trek. A crew member is singled out by lonely alien who wants a playmate and has something to hide. Saw it a mile away, but I didn't mind it.
The shuttle lifting off the sphere with the malfunction was fun, though I bet the physics involved had Trekkers or rocket scientists smashing their head against the wall.
