Star Trek Enterprise: The Breach

Temporal Directive is a Star Trek fan podcast rewatching all of the Star Trek franchise in chronological order. That's right, everything!

This week's episode on our Star Trek quest is Star Trek: Enterprise episode “The Breach”.

At Dr. Phlox's request, Enterprise attempts to retrieve 3 Denobulan scientists from the planet Xantoras, where the Goverment has ordered all off-worlders to evacuate within 3 days. Tucker, Reed, and Mayweather navigate a series of labyrinthine underground caves in search of the scientists. Meanwhile, Enterprise lends assistance to a damaged ship fleeing the planet. Doctor Phlox faces an ethical dilemma when one of the refugees of the ship refuses life-saving treatment. The patient, an Antaran, holds a grudge against Phlox stemming from a war between their races that ended 300 years ago and would rather die than be treated by a Denobulan. Phlox defies Archer's direct order to force treatment because it goes against the Deobulan code to yield to "the will of the patient.”

We're Australian, so this episode is marked as explicit only due to our casual swearing.
