Reviewing Enterprise: Strange New World and Unexpected

Strange New World brings the crew of the Enterprise to a world so amazingly Earthlike, they must investigate. When the survey team is stranded on the planet overnight due to raging winds, they begin to act paranoid. When one of the redshirt's lifesigns becomes erratic enough to authorize one of those risky transport, Phlox discovers a psychotropic substance blown down from the mountains has caused the team to go crazy.

Unexpected is the most amusing episode of Enterprise so far. When the Enterprise discovers and alien ship riding it's wake, they discover the ship has had engine trouble and send Trip over to help with repairs. Trip comes back with a little surprise- one of the alien females has impregnated him. Getting the little nipper back to it's mother involves dealing with an angry Klingon captain. I'm a little disappointed the embryo was transplanted to another host and we didn't get to see Trip give birth.
