Stigma In Hindi Free Download
The Enterprise makes way to a planet hosting the Interspecies Medical Exchanges convention. Phlox seeks to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with Vulcan doctors to learn more about a highly-stigmatized neurological affliction only transmitted through Vulcan mind melds. The Vulcans discover T'Pol is afflicted. Believing the stigma to be unethical, T'Pol chooses not to reveal that her participation in the mind meld was not voluntary but the result of physical and mental assault. Meanwhile, Feezal, one of Phlox's wives is aboard to assist Trip in the installation of a sophisticated medical microscope. Trip is unsettled by her sexual advances toward him and even more so that her husband is little more than amused by her seemingly disloyal behavior.
So this is it: Star Trek's gay-episode. While I'm not a huge Trek-nerd, I've come to appreciate the franchise (minus most of the TNG-films) over the past few years. I'm also aware that they always wanted to do a "gay" episode but "never got around to it" until Enterprise. That in itself is fine by me, since making comments on current issues in a sci-fi-setting is one thing Trek has been known to do since TOS.
However: Making a statement about gay people/AIDS in 2003 is hardly what I'd call "being topical". It would've been a lot more appropriate or even daring in the 80s or 90s. Still: I didn't mind the subject matter.
What I did mind were some minor points with the plot.
Phlox setting the plot in motion almost makes him look stupid. Using the age-old "a *friend* of mine (who is totally not me) has this problem" request is bad enough. But he also doesn't address the fact that he's asking for data on a Vulcan disease while he has a Vulcan science officer on his ship. He should've just told the doctors beforehand "I have discussed this with T'Pol but her medical expertise is extremely limited ... that's why I'm asking you guys for help.". Also: His decision to not inform Archer before making his request is also kinda odd. Yes, there's doctor/patient confidentiality, but he should know by now that he can trust Archer *and* that this guy has a right to know about T'Pol's condition. Seems odd to me that he didn't try harder to convince T'Pol that Archer knowing would be in her best interest.
Anyhow: The whole analogy of "Stigma" couldn't be more obvious if the writers had called the disease "T'aids". Still: They make some valid points. The tone of the episode can be rather preachy at times, but when you're dealing with the discrimination of minorities and stigmatized diseases, it's kinda hard to not get preachy. Plus: The B-story of Phlox' horny wife trying to access Trip's matter-injector works pretty well as counter-balance.
Now, since a lot of people seem to hate ENT's Vulcans, and this is a very Vulcan-centric episode, here are my thoughts on them: I don't mind the Vulcans being different from the ones in earlier ST-series. I think it's actually pretty cool that the creators of ENT decided to make the Vulcans intolerant and somewhat hypocritical pricks. After all: This is 100 years prior to Spock et all, so why *shouldn't* those earlier Vulcans be different? It gives them a pretty cool arc, albeit a retrofitted one. It would've been a lot more boring to have them behave exactly like Spock and it would've made the Vulcans less versatile as characters. In fact: The characters themselves would've been a lot more boring. How interesting can you make people who'll always do what's logical, don't lie and never seem to have any egotistical motivations?
Vulcan behavior in this episode is a lot more varied than what we're used to seeing from the older shows: You have the intolerant doctors, the one doctor who secretly isn't so intolerant (and whose behavior foreshadows what the Vulcans of TOS will be like) and, of course T'Pol. Her decision to do what she thinks is right, even if it means losing her job, not only makes for the drama in the story, but advances the character and gains her respect from both the audience and her colleagues. I also enjoyed watching Archer standing up for T'Pol - probably marking his final acceptance of her as both his first officer and a person. Also good: Trip's uneasiness and Phlox' "tolerance" regarding Mrs. Phlox' not-so-subtle advances provided some much needed levity.
Overall, Stigma is a pretty solid effort in my book.
7/10 Rick Berman and Brannon Braga wrote this episode, and it shows.
Throughout the entirety of the Star Trek franchise, the portrayal of Vulcans, starting from the Original Series, all the way through to Voyager, has been one of a race of smooth, cool, logical beings, who despite their supressions of emotion, often have fun in their logic, or develop personalities. Spock was dryly witty, Tuvok prudish and irritable.
So leave it to Berman and Braga, the idiots behind much of Voyager, Insurrection, Nemesis, and Generations, to make the Enterprise-era Vulcans into the total OPPOSITE of logical, while still retaining a seeming emotionlessness.
This episode does to the Vulcans what Voyager's "Threshold" and Enterprise's "Dear Doctor" did to evolution, rendering them into pale reflections of their species archetype, all but crossing into bad parody. Here, they are not the wise, intelligent, logical beings with awkward social skills, but intolerant, smug, prejudiced pseudo-"aristocrats".
They've been like that virtually the entire series of Enterprise, but this episode in particular demonstrates the incredible ability of Berman and Braga to destroy all the little things that make Star Trek what it is.
T'Pol has a fatal disease she contracted when she was forcibly mind-melded by a pack of emotional Vulcans, and she's told no one because apparently the Vulcans oppress anyone with this disease, and consider ANYONE with the disease to be part of a minority that can initiate mind-melds, or else someone who has been given a mind-meld.
Replace "can initiate mind-meld" with "black" and "Vulcan" with "(human) person" and you pretty much have the "Enterprise" Vulcans in a nutshell.
It's utterly astonishing, shocking, and infuriating the way the Vulcans are portrayed as BIGOTS, OUTRIGHT BIGOTS with regards to this minority. It's shocking that Captain Archer, deranged moron, is THE ONLY SANE PERSON IN THE ROOM in a scene where he and T'Pol confront a group of three Vulcans towards the end, and Archer lashes out that for years the Vulcans have said the Humans are too irrational, too narrow-minded, etcetera to be allowed all the technological advances the Vulcans have, and THEY PROVE THEMSELVES TO BE THE HYPOCRITES in their Medieval-esquire approach to T'Pol and her illness; she'd be recalled from her place as Subcommander, and never allowed to be a part of ANY starship crew for the rest of her shortened life.
The movie "Philadelphia" covered this topic beautifully. This episode handles it ass-backwards, with the enlightened, sophisticated, LOGICAL group of people being the racist, prejudiced bigots. In any other story, this would be a genuine story. But due to the DECADES of established Star Trek canon, it's just bad writing.
