256: Silk Worm Floss

"Extinction" 20th-anniversary reflections Arriving at a dangerous planet not clearly marked, Enterprise crew find themselves being transformed into primitive creatures who apparently have amazing scientific prowess. Luckily, the mutagenic virus created by this civilization's geneticists doesn't work on T'Pol, thanks to her Vulcan K cells. Otherwise, all would have been lost before the end of Act 1. Will Doctor Phlox find a cure in time? It's Star Trek meets Planet of the Apes—long before IDW did an official crossover—in this peach of an Enterprise episode. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with "Extinction" as we discuss if anything good comes from Archer, Hoshi, and Malcolm cracking open a grub-filled coconut.
