In the episode "Star Trek: Enterprise" one night in Sickbay "(October 16, 2002), no consequence is. No one bones. His first officer T'P'P'P'POL (Holen Blalock). However, as soon as he recognizes this, he admits that the height of the inadequacy he will ever mention again.

Most of the episode includes Archer, well, to spend the night in Sickbay, after his beloved Beagle Portos gets sick with mysterious weakness. Dr -Flox (Billon Billingsley)Denobulan, is optimistic, optimistic and feels that he can help Portos, but admits he is not very familiar with the anatomy of the earth's animal. Dr. Flox must collect new drugs from foreign animal products - and living animals - he keeps it in his laboratory. While he did so, he and Archer talk about this. Phlox has more degrees in psychoanalysis, so conversations occasionally get intimate flu (see above). Then Archer tries to nap. He spends time in the gym on the ship and then returns to Portos' side.

In short, nothing of importance happens in "One Night in Sickbay". It may be the least "important" episode of the series. It is slow and lacking an incident.

And yet, one of the best episodes of the series remains. Mostly Because Nothing of importance happens. "One Night in Sickbay" shows that the life of Hipwar is not just an endless array of adventures or crises. Is not All Exciting research and someone are hard to fight with enemy ships. Sometimes being a starfle officer involves a lot of waiting around. "One Night in Sicbay" makes Star Trek so much more human, relative and realistic.

My praise for the "night in Sickbay" is predicted for the interpretation of "Star Trek" as a drama in the workplace primarily. When we look at Starflit officers in the HIPVPS bridge, everyone is on the clock. The central relationship in Star Trek is professional, with colleagues working together in a complex and strictly implemented command structure. There are managers, help managers, department managers, engineers, doctors. The Star Trek Starvers is not too far from the traditional office, and the captain is only a boss. "Star Trek" is only more exciting than office work because of the exotic nature of their space profession.

And, as we all know, not every day your work is the most exciting. Even high -pressure jobs have slow days. "One Night in Sickbay" can be one of the first episodes throughout the Star Trek franchise that shows what happens when nothing happens. Archer has a sick dog. He is still on the ship. No one is on the coastline, and they simply sail from one destination to another. Since everything is so damn far away in the galaxy, there will be a lot of stall. BEE has boredom. It is a refreshing change of pace.

Boredom allows the characters - and, after a sequel, the audience - wandering through the corridors of the hipwels, taking the details. The slow episodes of "bottle" how this makes the company feel live, functional, real. Not everyone can refer to the battle with arsevoles with an imposed Romulan ship. We all have no experience with the hell of travelers who attack our ranks. However, we can all refer to boring work, shaken by a sore pet, or, in the case of Archer, horny inappropriate time.

"One Night in Sickbay" is also fun because we have to spend a lot of time with D -Flox, maybe One of the best characters in Star Trek. Flox belongs to lustful, joyful sight and he is infinitely excited about his work. He has dark moments to be sure, but for the most part, he holds the spirit of "Star Trek" in the chest. He is excited to meet new people and learn new things. He has a passion for his profession and is looking forward to sharing his discoveries. He is an outdoor portrait himself. He is also clever and friendly. When he and Archer start talking about sex, Flox is happy to sit down and explore deeply in his captain's personal life. Flox respects correctness, of course, but also understands that being honest is more productive. He is the kind of doctor you always hope to get it.

There is a sale in "One Night in Sickbay", but it serves as an episode bookstore. It seems that Portos Edirka was on a tree while on a guest mission on the planet Cretasa, creating a diplomatic incident. The tree was very sacred to the Cretasans, and Captain Archer insulted them deeply. To make changes, he must undergo a complex apology ceremony, common to someone else's planet. The ceremony is annoyed by Captain Archer, and part of his time in Sicbay is scattered for the diplomatic finishes and how annoyed by them. Sometimes the captain hates his job.

In the end, Archer performs the ceremony, a ritual that includes singing, a special suit and a chainsaw log. During a stall in Sickbay, Captain Arjer learns to cool down, reset, look at his work over and start solving it with multiple versions. Sometimes, to finish our jobs better, we just need a night night. Night to do absolutely nothing but to gather our thoughts. One night let's admit that our co -workers are hot, but that we must be professional.

"One night in Sickbay" will help every Starfleet officer.
