The Xindi

10 Sep 03

Nightmare of his sister dying. Gets to listen to the MACOs brag about how they stormed the mine to kidnap a prisoner for information.

Anomaly

17 Sep 03

Gets a burn on his hand from playing with a widget which wasn't entirely drained. Forrest yells at him for not being able to figure out how the shield the ship from the effects of the blorps.

Extinction

24 Sep 03

The three MACOs who wound up with the Lo'kek virus were no friends of his, and eliminating the planet eliminates the threat of the stuff spreading. But Forrest orders the phase cannon hooked directly to the engine to take the planet out, and Reed doubles his required bribe to unhook it again.

Rajiin

01 Oct 03

Completely dissed by Faster Pussycat, who won't even bother getting close enough to him to decide if his brain is worth groping. A little smoke inhalation from a lab explosion.

Impulse

08 Oct 03

No damage. Mining ore off an airless asteroid is the perfect job for Seth MacFarlane.

Exile

15 Oct 03

Loses the Engineering pool on "How many days will it take Sato to seduce information out of the telepathic alien?"

The Shipment

29 Oct 03

Reed is ordered to destroy yet another planet, and tries to attach the phase cannons to the warp engines permanently, "since all this hooking and unhooking is terribly inefficient." Tucker finds the spanner he used to beat Reed unconscious in the shuttlepod, and they have at it again.

Twilight

5 Nov 03

In a grim future, everyone will be dead for fifteen minutes.

North Star

12 Nov 03

No damage. The crew takes shore leave on a planet which appears to be an Ancient West theme park. He talks to the local bootleggers and finds a way to adjust his still to smooth out his rotgut a little.

Similitude

19 Nov 03

 

Tucker gets FOOMed by one of his warp field experiments and nearly dies. Phlox does his own experiment and grows a clone of Tucker to use for brain transplant material. The clone develops Tucker's memories and abilities and figures out a way to jigger the warp field to create a rift into an alternate universe, and escapes. A second clone is sedated for the two weeks it takes to grow to proper size, and the transplant is successful. However, the second clone mysteriously develops the same scarring as Tucker, which the first clone didn't, leaving no facial skin suitable for a graft.

Carpenter Street

26 Nov 03

 

{In the Mirror Universe, a script this boring would have been burned and the ashes dumped over the writers' heads.}

Chosen Realm

14 Jan 04

Gets a backhanded compliment from the Head Zealot, who says he's blessed to have had his cheek pinched by the Makers. Tucker gladly turns him over to Reed and his kids, who have a grand old time stalking the Exploding Zealots through the ship and trying to shoot them just before they blow themselves up.

Proving Ground

21 Jan 04

No damage. The Andorians are lots of fun in a fight, but none of them (or their ale) make it down to Engineering.

Stratagem

04 Feb 04

Gets to listen to the MACOs brag about how they beat information out of another prisoner. Gets the last laugh when the information turns out to be wrong, and Sato seduces the right answer out of the guy.

Harbinger

11 Feb 04

No damage. Melting Molecules Alien sees him and veers the other way. T'Pol, stoned out of her mind on trellium, takes him for a free ride. The next day he overhears her yelling at the other Vulcans not to let her trellium-goggle.

Doctor's Orders

18 Feb 04

Archer wakes him up a full day after the rest of the crew, so the only thing left in the galley is old oatmeal and some leola root casserole.

Hatchery

25 Feb 04

No damage. Rigs Reed's panel to explode if the phase cannon hookup controls are accessed.

Azati Prime

03 Mar 04

Toasted by sparks and flames in Engineering, plus his wee bairns got a kick in the right family jewel.

Damage

21 Apr 04

Well, some, anyway. Lots of soot and scratches and bruises from last episode. Zaps his hand on an alien force-field.

The Forgotten

28 Apr 04

Goes two days without sleep and then has a nightmare, gets dissed by Phlox, and T'Pol screws up her latest covert-ops Vulcan mind trick so he forgets that his sister died and has to learn about it all over again.

E2

05 May 04

No damage. If the I.S.S. Enterprise did get thrown back in time, the crew would have torn one another apart long before reaching the causal event again, so there's no way anyone in the current timeline would know about it.

The Council

12 May 04

Has a pulled muscle from overwork. Works out the knots by pounding the crap out of some uppity MACOs.

Countdown

19 May 04

Loses the Engineering pool on "How many days will it take Sato to seduce her way free from the aliens who kidnapped her?"

Zero Hour

26 May 04

Along with the rest of the crew less Phlox, suffers from the heartbreak of hyperpsoriasis. On the plus side, for the first time, nobody can legitimately make a comment about his face.
