Breaking the Ice (Star Trek: Enterprise, S1 E8) was recommended by nazzy, she/her, who said: This one is having fun with the show's premise - that these are the first humans to do genuine deep space exploration - as well as a great T'Pol subplot that hints at the fantastic odd-ball chemistry that would develop between her and Trip.

Breaking the Ice first aired on November 7, 2001, written by Andre Jacquemetton & Maria Jacquemetton, and directed by Terry Windell

Lieutenant Reed and Ensign Mayweather extract a rare chemical on a comet while Sub-Commander T'Pol considers marriage to Koss.

The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)
