"Damage" With Phyllis Strong.
The episode "Damage" from the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise
was controversial for two plot points that took Archer and T'Pol
into dark areas they hadn't been to before. The episode revealed
T'Pol's addiction to Trellium D, the substance that was used to
line starships and protect them from the anomalies that were
scattered through the expanse. Meanwhile, Archer made the
controversial decision to steal parts from a passing starship and
leave them stranded, so that he could continue on with his mission
of stopping the Xindi weapon.
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Floyd Dorsey and Brandon-Shea
Mutala speak with the writer of the episode "Damage," Phyllis
Strong. We talk about T'Pol's drug addiction, story comparisons to
history, Archer going dark, Phlox's place in the episode, and if
Phyllis would change anything after all these years.
Stay tuned to the very end for an important message from the hosts.
