Star Trek: Enterprise - 01x24 Desert Crossing

Summary: After a brief detour, Enterprise and its crew are back on their way to famed pleasure planet Risa. Everyone is eagerly anticipating a long overdue shore leave ... until they pick up a distress call from an unidentified vessel, and vacation is once again delayed. After figuring out that the vessel's warp injectors are simply clogged with plasma residue, Trip gets to work repairing the engines while Archer enjoys a visit with the ship's captain, a ruggedly charismatic alien named Zobral. Hailing from a nearby desert planet, Zobral invites Archer and Trip to his home for a dinner in their honor. Though Archer is reluctant to accept the invitation since it means delaying shore leave yet again, he eventually relents, charmed by Zobral's persistence. Later, Archer is surprised to find Trip unenthusiastic about the invitation. The chief engineer confesses that he's hated desert environments ever since their harsh survival training in the Australian outback. Archer, however, manages to convince Trip to come along.

TRIVIA

The series has established an annual tradition of featuring crew members from the real-life aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in cameo roles. This first happened in # episode #1.24, "Desert Crossing", and continued in episode #2.24, "First Flight". Aa a courtesy, advance copies of first-season episodes were sent to the carrier.
Captain Archer and Tripp, while waiting to be rescued, have the same conversation about the game 'Geography' as Captain Archer and Ensign Travis Mayweather did in an earlier episode, when Travis taught the game to Archer.
