Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie Dr. Phlox is watching when his hallucinations first begin is The Court Jester (1955) starring Danny Kaye.
- GoofsThe dialogue makes it clear that it will take 4 days to cross the anomalous zone, and though the crew will be in induced comas to avoid brain damage, there is no mention of keeping them hydrated, nor is there any sign of related equipment, i.e. an IV system. The average human can only live for 3 days without water, thus the crew would die before they traversed the zone.

Featured review
Billingsley's solo performance makes this reality-challenged episode fun to watch
Phlox is left alone and in command of Enterprise while the crew sleeps through a dangerous form of radiation which Phlox is apparently not susceptible to. As the days progress the doctor begins to have troublesome experiences and it seems that he may be in psychological or physical danger, or both. And if the doctor has a problem, so does the ship! The episode is ably directed by Roxann Dawson with her usual dramatic flourishes and good use of the camera. The script is slightly above average for Enterprise, but has much more to do with fiction than science.
Better than the average character study for this series - largely because Billingsley is such a fine performer.
Mildly recommended.
