When Doctor Phlox sees an opportunity to help her during the Interspecies Medical Exchange, T\u2019Pol\u2019s career comes into jeopardy when she is identified as part of an undesirable element of Vulcan society. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 2 with \u201cStigma,\u201d an episode that aired during Viacom\u2019s HIV awareness campaign in 2003. We discuss how the story ties into this with a story that advances the development of Vulcan society while deftly balancing serious and comedic stories to make a strong statement about cultural differences and unfounded prejudice.
