    Interesting and a Bit Allegorical but Not Scientific
    I have to say I enjoyed this episode but I kept hearkening back to some scientific realities. It would seem that a planet that has gone rogue would just become a frozen sphere in space. If there is no sun to warm it, how could it sustain life. I supposed one could imagine that because there are elements of the supernatural at work here (at least a mind reading ability), we could assume that this planet is something out of a science fiction writer's imagination. All that aside, I did enjoy the whole business with the hunters and their relentless efforts to get enjoyment from their prey. Enter the Enterprise crew which gets in the way of their fun. Archer is chosen to try to change things because a poem by Yeats. This is mishmash. One last thing, why is it so easy to synthesize made to order stuff to solve problems. Phlox is almost too much of a good thing.
