Enterprise: Dear Doctor

Dear Doctor- is a look into what makes Phlox tick- how he views the crew, how he interacts with them, how he acts as a doctor and ethicist, and Donobulan society as well. We hear his thoughts in an ongoing letter w=he writes to a human colleague working on Denobula. Phlox talks to and cares for his pets, then comments on the oddity of that behaviour in humans. We learn that he has three wives, each with two other husbands, and yet that does not seem to preclude him per suing romance with a crewmate. When the Enterprise encounters members of s pre warp culture on a quest for medical aid, they have a moral dilemma. However, they have made prior contact with warp cultures and have specifically sought the help of such a society. The moral dilemmas increase when Phlox makes a discovery about the genome of the two humanoid races co existing on the same planet. I am not sure I agree with the decision Archer makes at his behest, but I will let you watch and decide for yourself.
