[edit] Nature of the episode

I put "nature" in the topic because I didn't want to seem like I was bashing it, but I was really wondering if there was a point to it. It seemed almost like the writers were trying to allude to something and never quite figured out what; the entire episode came off as awkward for me. Is there some explanation for what (if anything) they were getting at? If so, we should put it in the background section. --Broik 21:16, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

It was basically one of the old "a boy and his dog" tales with an alien doctor and a potential romantic involvement with a Vulcan woman thrown in. I think the ep was supposed to hint towards the beginnings of a romance between Archer and T'Pol, which of course was derailed when T'Pol ended up with Trip. Basically, it's an episode where Archer has to come to terms with his own pride (in apologizing to the Kreetassans), his feelings for T'Pol (and lack of sex), and, of course, his friendship for his loyal pal, Porthos, and the thought that he might lose him. Mostly, though, it deals with the budding friendship and respect developing between Archer and Phlox. --From Andoria with Love 22:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, during A Night in Sick Bay Archer and Tpol go into an exorcise room on Enterprise. When they first enter the room there is this large round thing in the room. I just wanted to know what it was. Thanks. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.158.166.135 (talk).

If I remember the episode right, what you are talking about is a form of gyroscope. If you Google "riding a gyroscope," it should bring up what you are looking for. Also, in the future, questions about specific episodes/characters/things/etc should be brought up on the article's talk page, such as Talk:A Night in Sickbay (episode).
