Notes
- Running Decon Gel Scene Appearances: T’Pol (2), Trip (2), Hoshi (1), Malcolm (1). No scene this episode.
- The original plan for this episode was to have the aliens be unknown.
- The first ever chronological appearance of a Romulan ship in Star Trek. Like the Ferengi last season and the Borg later this year – it stretches canon, but doesn’t break it.
- The first episode to feature a change in crew uniforms, although not worn by everyone yet – they’re phased in as the season progresses from here.
- It is said in this episode the crew complement is 83.

It also has the Enterprise deal with a Romulan minefield. The Romulans make their first canonical appearance in the timeline

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 29 - Minefield - 2 Oct 2002 2/2here. They are not SEEN though - which preserves existing TOS canon. A lot of it is spent trying to extricate Reed from being stuck to a mine on the outside of the ship. There's some good tension here - fairly talky ep.
