Trip actually gets off lightly in the pilot;
he doesn't have to sit on the couch slack-jawed in astonishment
while listening to that THEME SONG for the first time. The
infamous Decon Gel Scene is primarily painful for the audience.
Kidnapped by Suliban, although not roughed up, and then caught
in Suliban crossfire. Shimmy- Shimmy- Shakin' Shuttlepod.
Insulted
repeatedly by T'Pol. Minor Klingon Fu.

Fight or Flight

|
 |
No damage. That's because in the next two episodes
he really earns his paycheck.

Trip's trippin'.

Unexpected
|
|
17 Oct 01
|
 |
Impregnated against his will! And without his
knowledge! And then he has to tell the Klingons!
|

Terra Nova
|
|
24 Oct 01
|
 |
No damage. A boy needs time to recover.

The
Andorian Incident
|
|
31 Oct 01
|
 |
Gets skeeved by Vulcan mummies and cobwebs.
Brief but moderate Andorian Fu.
|

Breaking
the Ice
|
|
7 Nov 01
|
 |
They could have called it "Breaking Wind," but
that's about the only embarrassment Trip doesn't have
to suffer. Our boy obligates himself to read a very personal
letter for T'Pol and then busts himself for it, gets stuck
with the "poop question" from his nephew's fourth-grade class,
and for a grand finale squirms through a "birds and the sehlats"
Vulcan cultural exchange.

Civilization

|
14 Nov 01
|
 |
No damage. And he doesn't even have to watch
Archer try to play Kirk.

No damage. Fortunate Trip.
|

Cold
Front
|
|
28 Nov 01
|
 |
Watches Crewman Daniels get painfully FOOMed.
I consider that at least emotional trauma, whether he liked
the guy or not.

Silent
Enemy

|
16 Jan 02
|
 |
Cap'n doubts his team's ability to do as well
as Jupiter Station's boys. Reed pisses him off by making risky
modifications without getting permission first. More like
"Sulky Front."
|
|
Dear Doctor
|
|
23 Jan 02
|
 |
No damage. Not much screen time either. I do
not consider crying at a sad movie to be "damage;"
it's a healthy emotional response.

Sleeping Dogs
|
|
30 Jan 02
|
 |
No damage. He wisely stayed out of Sickbay when
the Klingon woman was conscious.

Shadows

|
|
6 Feb 02
|
 |
Archer dangles a visit to a Coridan shipyard
in front of him like a steak, then takes T'Pol. Gets hung
up on twice. Kidnapped and tied up briefly. Minor Andorian
Fu. Gets caught in Andorian-Vulcan-Coridan shoot-em-up.
|

|
13 Feb 02
|
 |
Reed whines and pines until Trip threatens to
open up a can of cranky-ass, then they both get roaring drunk
and nearly freeze solid before bonding.
|
|
Fusion
|
|
27 Feb 02
|
 |
No damage. Whoever's running the "Folded Spindled
Mutilated T'Pol" page gets this one.
|
|
Rogue
Planet
|
|
20 Mar 02
|
 |
Has to listen to Archer recite mediocre poetry
and drool over a shapeshifter who looks like she (it?) was
auditioning for an Herbal Essences shampoo commercial. And
didn't get the job.
|
|
Acquisition
|
|
27 Mar 02
|
 |
Runs around for half of the episode in tight
blue Starfleet-issue skivvies. (Yum.) A little Ferengi Fu.
|
|
Oasis
|
|
3 Mar 02
|
 |
Saved from a finger-toasting by a Kesalike,
but then discovers her family is kind of light-headed.
|
|
Detained
|
|
24 Apr 02
|
 |
No damage. Clearing his mind for the next episode.

T'Pol recommends that Trip (and the rest of
the crew) need to get some action. When he shows up on the
bridge in a Hawaiian Shirt Friday ensemble, she explains she
didn't mean "lei'd." Archer seconds the original implication.
At dinner, Trip is inadvertently rude to a visiting Vulcan
diplomat, and she teasingly scolds him. The Chief Engineer
then panics when asked to get the wimpy-ass engines up to
a screaming Warp Five.
|

Desert Crossing
|
|
8 May 02
|
 |
Beaten at a sports game, sunburn, heat stroke,
dehydration, hallucinations, bombing, "in Russia we don't
eat this part of the dog" soup, and -- the unkindest
cut of all -- sand down his shorts.
|

Two Days and
Two Nights

aka Two Dopes and Two Muggers. More skivvies,
some booze, gratuitous ogling, a little B&D. This ain't
no kid show! This episode was the finale of the hat trick
which convinced me to launch the site.
|
|
Shockwave
|
|
22 May 02
|
 |
Another Shimmy-Shimmy-Shakin' Shuttlepod and
a mild concussion, both in the teaser, but he's up and griping
shortly after the credits finish rolling.
|
|
Minor
Abrasions
|
|
|
|
Single photos from episodes which didn't have
enough damage (or plot) to warrant a full page, and other
miscellany.
