Impulse (show)

"Impulse" is the title of an episode from the third season of the television show Star Trek: Enterprise. Its episode number is 057 (Paramount Pictures, n.d.). Praised for its action, suspense, and unique plot, the episode was considered to be one of the best third-season episodes from the show upon its original airing on Wednesday, 8 October, 2003.

The plot involves a distress call from the Seleya, a Vulcan ship, in a Trellium-D asteroid field inside the Expanse. Captain Archer, T'Pol, and Reed beam aboard the ship to find that the Vulcan crew have lost control of their emotions and become ultra-violent. It is soon discovered that the Trellium-D is causing the Vulcans to lose control of themselves, and that the substance is affecting T'Pol. The rest of the episode focuses on the away team's efforts to outwit the Vulcans and escape from the ship (Fernandez et al., 2003).
