   :-)  But still 'episodic'.  Archer, Tripp, Reid ant T'Pol end up almost all   
   cured at the end...typical.  Why can't they prolong the recovery, as in   
   'real life', into the 'next' story and have that slightly effect their work   
   performance?  I know that they did indeed 'do' that, but only a character   
   saying "Oh, I still feel it a little" instead of seeing a bit of physical   
   issues, not just vocal.  Draw out the facial changes to disappear over time,   
   etc.  Even medical issues are (for the most part) neatly contained inside an   
   episode.   
      
   Almost dead?  Don't worry, it's Trek!! You'll be healed in time for the next   
   episode for sure!  :D
