Notes
- Running Decon Gel Scene Appearances: T’Pol (3), Trip (2), Hoshi (2), Malcolm (1), Archer (1), Porthos (1). None this episode.
- The first canonical use of the word “beam” in connection to the transporter happens here.
- Hoshi is only the third person on Enterprise to actually use the transporter to this point (the others being Archer (once) and Reed (twice)).
- Keone Yong played Hoshi’s father (named “Mr. Sato”). He was also the baseball player Buck Bokai in DS9’s “If Wishes Were Horses”.

Hoshi uses it, and then she starts to "disappear" - the crew can't see her, etc. It feels somewhat like TNG's "The Next Phase". But we get to see a *LOT* of Hoshi

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 36 - Vanishing Point - 27 Nov 2002 2/2in this ep. Liked they focused on her a lot. There's an alien aspect to the story, and some transporter phobia the reminds me of McCoy. You know it gets reset in the end, but I enjoyed the mystery & the journey.
