I guess if I plot works you stick with it.

I can't quite decide whether that was "Storm Front" bad or just Season 1 bad, but this one was pretty awful. I had a good laugh at this picture before the episode aired with the modern clothing on an Orion girl, but I had an even bigger one afterwards. Did they not want to ruin the "surprise" of the scantily-clad women, or was it just too shocking??
As much as I was looking forward to the Mirror Mirror two-parter, the previews didn't exactly give me high hopes.

I know I should stop beating the way-past dead continuity horse, but... Wasn't there a line in Original Trek ("The Cage," I think?) that stated Orion Slave women were like mindless savage animals or something to that effect? These slave women didn't seem very mindless or animal-like. They even understood warp physics.
Maybe in the time between Archer & Kirk's era a genetic plague struck the Orion Syndicate and turned all the women into mindless animals....

Maybe the owner of that slave girl club was gay.

I always thought it was, unless they were just watching a DVD during The Menagerie.

Commodore Mendez once said they were "like animals -- vicious, seductive." It was even said that no Human male could resist them. (TOS: "The Menagerie, Part II")

Just watched this off my DVR a little bit ago, really got a classic TOS vibe myself. I agree that the Commodore's description is still dead on, makes them even more interesting IMHO. Loved how Phlox just jammed the stimulant in his neck like a half crazed heroin addict 
Did anyone else think the final scene between Tucker and T'Pol was lifted right out of The Empire Strikes Back?
