I really liked Enterprise as a series. Mundane concerns about spare parts and a home cooked meal feel very human and relatable, especially when you're lightyears away from home.
To me Enterprise should have been a bit more 'brutalistic' in nature. Make a giant wall between the crewed areas and the main antimatter reactor, that you can only go into while wearing heavier protection gear. Ten-Forward would look like the interior of a passenger submarine rather than a lounge. Airlocks would lead into a decontamination room directly, and there would be cleaning going on during stories (good plot point about one spot being missed and causing an infection). The main body would be a cylinder with a heavy navigation deflector at the front with the bridge poking just over the top. The warp nacelles would each be almost as big as the main hull. Almost like a Star Wars Y-Wing in shape. As the series goes on you would have refits going on so the ship slowly becomes more like TOS Enterprise, in both arrangement and capability. As to plots, they had so much potential. All the races that are friends in TOS, are new races in Enterprise. All the plots in TOS you can write predecessor ideas that would lead to the stories in TOS. For different races Archer would have to do diplomacy between them, calm down wars, set up trade agreements, etc. For example Enterprise might meet two planets that are fighting each other. Archer gets the two planets to set up a communications relay to try and talk to each other. Instead the governments of Eminiar and Vendikar use the channel to simulate war on each other instead (the root causes of the war were never solved).

@@inugumu I guess you didn't see "Bounty" or "Impulse"? In "Bounty". She was sweating in the De-con chamber and Phlox said she was running a slight fever-no doubt a combination of the spores and maybe the Pa'nar Syndrome making her body and mind thinking she was going through pon farr. In "Impulse", Corp. Hawkins gave her water because she was I'll from the Terellium-D. Later, after her angry spell, she was sweating and wiping her brow and face. Maybe they only sweat when dehydrated or ill of both.
@@inugumu That's why they meditate. When T'Pol didn't meditate to facilitate Tolaris's experiment, she had a bad dream. I doubted She mediated before the bad shower dream with Trip.She also admitted that she didn't get to meditate to Archer after she broke his desk in "Damage". Probably true, but she was under the influence of her Terellium-D withdrawal and had learnt to use this excuse in "Bounty" to defray Phlox's attention to get out of the room.
@@ernestmac13 they were blocked for the crew by Starfleet you mean? There should be no technical problems with that. Actually "building" ships with giant replicators would be very practical.
@Erik Mikkelsaar technically an entire galaxy as we know that the Asgard’s galaxy is mostly barren in relation to technological societies now, and don’t think for a second that the Asgard were not desperate enough to wipe whole star systems if a single shuttle with replicators on board made it through their defenses. They turned the sun of their own home world into a black hole for God’s sake.
@@sirellyn true but energy in Star Trek is generally clean and abundant with anti matter and similar sources of power. The true scarcity is the admittedly few, materials that can’t be replicated.
@@wanderingwriter3958 Humans have already had numerous breakthroughs where things seemed "unlimited". They never were. We had "unlimited" energy with the first energy grids. What did people do? Find ways of using it all up. The passenger pigeon and bison were called "unlimited" in their time. As were fish in the sea. Wealth isn't created by a "limitless" resource. Are you ultra rich because you have "unlimited" air? Wealth is created when someone innovates a solution that allows for greater access/availability to something which before was scarce and in demand. 1. The assumption of the elimination of scarcity tends to make people over use/waste that resource until the limits are seen. 2. Wealth is created by doing the reverse. Making something more scarce, into something more plentiful. In other words, if you cut off ways of innovating for wealth, no matter how plentiful things are, you are destined for destitution.

@F-zero91maru You know there are pretty girls on Earth right? The likelihood of an extra-terrestrial species looking even remotely human are astronomically small
@@senseweaver01 Not as small as you'd think. They would have to be tool users with forward facing "eyes". Omnivorous with an interest in being warm as well. Upright is a strong possibility as is Mammalian. But I think the Tholians and Edosians are more realistic than the Klingons.
@@jeffreymeehan3116 I didn't say they wouldn't be similar, I said they wouldn't LOOK similar. Forward facing eyes may be the only similarity. They don't actually need to be warm, they might not be omnivorous either, you've just assumed that for no reason - there are humans who aren't omnivorous. They might not even be bipedal. They could be aquatic, or subterranean. They just reached that point of technology because they persevered and evolved.
@@senseweaver01 We needed animal protein to grow our big brains. We needed fire to keep us warm and to make tools. So would any other species. Reptiles had a much earlier start and they didn't evolve anywhere near the same patterns as us. Bipedal is unlikely but I said upright. Something like a scorpion or centaur isn't impossible. That's why I said Edosians. Subterranean people wouldn't need heat or light so they wouldn't use fire. Eyes are liabilities to moles after all. Aquatics that travel interstellar would need access to metals meaning fire and using tools so no flippers. If you can't create or use a knife, you can't create warp drive or a spaceship to house it in.
Since the replicator does not produce living things, all of the food it makes would be sterile. The cheese would not have any bacterial culture in it, and lettuce would no longer be alive. If left uneaten, food might spoil is a very odd way. You might also have problems if your intestinal flora were wiped out, for example by an antibiotic, since the replicator would not make any bacteria to replace them.
That's a very good point. Though, in theory, it's a problem that would exist even today. On a Mars mission, for example, the food would need to be preserved for long-term use, which means sterilization by pasteurization or irradiation. I suppose on long voyages, the crew might need probiotic supplements, either supplied, or made on board. I can totally imagine Neelix brewing beer, baking sourdough, and aging cheese in a cargo bay.
A molecular replicator might have *protocols preventing* the creation of living things but it should be *able* to create them. The transporter does it.
That is a very good point! It is surprising though that it cannot replicate bacteria as it is similar to a transporter which can reproduce living things so why can't it?
@@gort5583 Because Star Trek never follows an idea beyond what makes for good tv. Really, we should have ships with skeleton crews but the ability to beam in any expert crew-person from the buffer at a moments notice. We should have away teams backing themselves up before dangerous missions. Violent death should be a minor inconvenience… but that’s not good tv.
This is by far my favorite episode of Enterprise. There's no elaborate story arcs, no silly inter-species politics, just a perfect little science-fiction bottle episode!
The look Archer gives Trip at 0:48 is brilliant like "Come on Trip there's no way this is gonna work, but fine let's see" Also "I doubt there's a catfish within 130 light-years" is a great quote to hear out of context lol
and it would have been better if it didn't give him a whole meal, when all he asked for was a pan fried catfish. The computer doesn't just make up other stuff unless you ask. Just like when she asked for cold water, it didn't include a lemon wedge or make it carbonated cold water, etc. It would have just given him the fish, no veggies or bread included.
@@eolsunder ...very likely the entire dish was also in the database. Remember, there is a live Chef as a member of the crew. In his kitchen menu database is a full description for the pan fried catfish dish so as Tucker's request was for food, the space station gave what it believed was requested . Now if Tucker only asked for a catfish, very likely it would be a uncooked catfish, possibly living.
@@normanlee6609 It wouldn't of been living, a notable plot point of this episode is that life is one of the few things this tech CAN'T replicate, so it would definately of been a dead catfish (probbly akin to a freshly caught one from a fish market)
Almost every episode I thought Archer should be a little sterner and command a bit more authority. This is the only episode I was like "chill out man, you found a replicator! Order a burger and wait for the ship to be fixed!".
I've been getting a flood of comments on this video recently and was wondering where all the new views were coming from. May I ask how you found this video?
Ouiii, absolument et le plus rapidement possible. Cela fait des années qu'on nous montre ces technologies dans tous les films de Science-Fiction comme étant de la fiction. Hé bien maintenant, cela deviendra notre réalité !....Merci beaucoup de ce rappel...:-)
What's great about this is it shows the older Captain is still wary of this technology, yet the younger crew members are happy to indulge. That's pretty much how all leaps in technology tend to be. Yes, I get it that T'pol is in her 60's, but as a Vulcan, she's more readily willing to embrace new technology. Vulcans live over 200 years. She's still young.
@0:27 Depicts how what came to be replicators used by the Federation may have well been Tarkalean technology, perhaps the technology acquired through trade.
@@solace001 Water is universal; Plomeek soup is not. To Archer's chagrin, Tucker was just lucky that the alien station scanned every bit of data from the Enterprise to produce a very specific object (catfish meal).
@@JanetStarChild But how did she know it was safe to drink? I can drink the (soft) water from my sink and be ok-though I prefer my Brita-or bottled waters, but if I drank the hard water in Savannah, Ga. even I get sick so I have to drink bottled.
@@Icureditwithmybrain Thank you for your kind words. I made the decision in 2012 to remain single & celibate. It gives me a great deal of peace in my life. I still cook for others from time to time. It's very enjoyable for me.
When I started watching Enterprise I was hoping for episodes like this where they acquire new technology we've seen in later series. Instead I stopped watching when time travel became a major story arc with a species never mentioned in later shows in the Star Trek timeline.
Behind the scenes a small baby fish was born, grown with timelapse field in a glass of water+food , brutally slaughtered and fried alive, then beamed over from the kitchen...
Right now, all of us are on the forefront of replicator technology. Soon our 3d printers will be doing this in 50 years or so. Amazing..simply amazing.
Repair stations like this would be incredibly useful. As long as you had a decent computer that didn't require brains, and a power supply you could keep it in deep space. It would just recycle the damaged materials to rebuild those parts.
Replicators wouldn't be free for everyone to use. They'd crack down on it and make it a luxury item only for the wealthy. They'd put a super-steep price tag on it (like.... 8 million dollars) and make it a status sort of appliance. "Oh, you don't have the PRISMATIC X-5000 replicator? Mine is programmed with 11,000 foods and drinks, all creatable within 6 seconds. Over 300 varieties of ice cream for the children, and 1,900 varieties of drinks for the adults!"
So they encounter a machine that can replicate any physical object while the ship is effectively stranded due to a lack of titanium. Immediately orders catfish.
That is why this show is great..we get to see where they learned about or got the idea for their technology...replicator, Tractor Beam, warp engine, holodeck.
@@senseweaver01 in the other shows it was just there and almost perfect...with Hoshi...she had to work at it, figure out languages without it...fantastic
you'd also need the antimatter reactors to power them, and a civilisation that takes good enough care of the deranged and desperate that nutcases won't just go around replicating nuclear weapons
@@Icureditwithmybrain the closes thing we have is 3d printers. And publicly you can buy them. Their even trying to make 3d printers that make replacement organs from your own tissues.
This station is in violation of GDPR. :-) It is indeed user friendly with all the services it can now provide, but it would really have been nice to been asked before harvesting all the informations and using them in any way the station itsef decides to.
If I was T'Pol and holding a scanning device I would be scanning the heck out of that replicator constantly to see how it works so that the Vulcans back home can make more of them. She just doesn't seem that interested, which is kinda weird for a Science Officer.
It's ironic in the 24th Century people were sick of replicators. Sisko cooked everything from scratch and many of the 24th century crews wanted the real deal like what Archer got everyday from his Chef. Even regular coffee tasted off besides Klingon Coffee It's amazing how Starfleet went to Trips wonder to Sisko's disdain for replicator food.
It could be that since many Federation citizens in the 24th century have eaten replicator foods since birth it has all become bland to them. Commander Riker points out in a TNG episode when he is making an omelet by hand that while a replicator would be more efficient at the task, it wouldn't have any flare or creativity that comes with normal cooking. One could imagine that the logistics department of Starfleet would not see a good reason for supplying ships with a large stockpile of normal foodstuffs when they have replicators on board and enough spare parts to fix them when they break.
TBH, given how quickly technology has gone from a marvel to the bane of our existance within my lifetime, I can kinda understand where they're coming from.
I think the thing with replicated food is that its all the same. Obviously each dish will taste different from one another, but say, every single cup of Tea Earl Grey Hot that Picard ever gets is identical, down to the (lack of) scratches on the cup. While a dish might be good at first, it would get old fast.
Checkout "forbidden planet ", spaceship crew member asks Robbie the robot to make liquor, guy gives sample pint bottle, comes back next day, to pile of full perfect bottles. Guy was told robot could make anything they needed to fix ship.
I'm with Archer on this one. Yes it's an amazing technology, but most cultural customs, most people would make the effort to ask before literally downloading their entire ships database. Bear in mind, the station didn't just potentially download the genome for catfish and cornbread, it may have also downloaded psychological profiles, weapons or warhead information, secret files in the ships database that are for a captain or admirals eyes only. Detailed data on other species, shop deployments and weaknesses. Would you want do hop into a hospital with a broken leg, where the entire staff knew you had mental health problems, knew you'd carelessly caught and STI in your teens or worse, were badly abused as a child. That information isn't pertinent to fixing a broken leg and by moral standards, that kind of information should not be accessed or required by a dr in order to mend a broken bone. It's just polite to ask, or at least ask what information or database the station was.allowed to access, and which database were off limits. It doesnt need to know everything to fix the ship, so why did it download it? Hence why Archer isn't happy.
@@greengreeneya2102 plus they have been eating meat in front of her since day 1. She understands that humans eat meat and as a vulcan doesn't let it get to her.
I really wanted to see more of this weird station. Maybe a story ark about its builders. Maybe it's builders with the advanced technology and the data they revieved by scanning ships computers allowed them intimate knowledge of the quadrant. Enough to want to invade. Would of been an interesting possibility for a post-voyager series. After collecting knowledge of species movements throughout the quadrant a mysterious species invades the alpha and beta quadrants. And only by banding together can the races of the alpha and beta quadrants repel them.
Even though they aren't canon, there are books that actually go into a lot more detail about this station. They are called "ware" stations. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Uncertain_Logic
if we had this tech we would end famine on this world. sadly I'm sure the environmentalists would protest that too. I have now dought if we could cooperate with each other we could solve most of the world's major problems today. but without strife and division and conflicts, the power hungry and corrupte elites would loose control.
There's more than enough food for us all in this world. The problem is wars and corruption strangling supply to some areas. I think you're right: the power-hungry need enemies.
It has been my experience that those belonging to all of the Reformation and Post Reformation groups expect the Catholic Church to end world hunger by selling everything it has and using the money for the poor, which would probably last a year at best.
Actually Michael was a full Wraith. The Alantian Terrans attempt to transform Michael into a human as a way to end the Wraith menace. Of course, the experiment failed.
The important thing to remember is that the replicators pull their solid matter from blocks of compressed molecular-dense base material. These are all rearranged in a transporter beam into whatever form is called for. Given that all the scraps and dirty plates are returned to the replicator you have to realize that they are then re-sequenced again into the blocks. This means you are eating at least some of someone else's scraps and dirty napkin.
I've never eaten catfish, we don't have them in Australia but I've watched enough MasterChef and Hell's Kitchen to know that it's hard to cook correctly. Basically tastes like mud if you mess it up.

How much of a nightmare it is for a Vulcan to be around humans.

Vulcans dont sweat
@@inugumu I guess you didn't see "Bounty" or "Impulse"? In "Bounty". She was sweating in the De-con chamber and Phlox said she was running a slight fever-no doubt a combination of the spores and maybe the Pa'nar Syndrome making her body and mind thinking she was going through pon farr. In "Impulse", Corp. Hawkins gave her water because she was I'll from the Terellium-D. Later, after her angry spell, she was sweating and wiping her brow and face. Maybe they only sweat when dehydrated or ill of both.
@@inugumu That's why they meditate. When T'Pol didn't meditate to facilitate Tolaris's experiment, she had a bad dream. I doubted She mediated before the bad shower dream with Trip.She also admitted that she didn't get to meditate to Archer after she broke his desk in "Damage". Probably true, but she was under the influence of her Terellium-D withdrawal and had learnt to use this excuse in "Bounty" to defray Phlox's attention to get out of the room.

Star trek: harnesses replicators to produce near endless supply of wealth eliminating scarcity
Stargate: destroys planet
@Erik Mikkelsaar technically an entire galaxy as we know that the Asgard’s galaxy is mostly barren in relation to technological societies now, and don’t think for a second that the Asgard were not desperate enough to wipe whole star systems if a single shuttle with replicators on board made it through their defenses. They turned the sun of their own home world into a black hole for God’s sake.
You always have scarcity. In this case it's scarcity of energy.
@@sirellyn true but energy in Star Trek is generally clean and abundant with anti matter and similar sources of power. The true scarcity is the admittedly few, materials that can’t be replicated.
@@wanderingwriter3958 Humans have already had numerous breakthroughs where things seemed "unlimited". They never were. We had "unlimited" energy with the first energy grids. What did people do? Find ways of using it all up.
The passenger pigeon and bison were called "unlimited" in their time. As were fish in the sea.
Wealth isn't created by a "limitless" resource.
Are you ultra rich because you have "unlimited" air?
Wealth is created when someone innovates a solution that allows for greater access/availability to something which before was scarce and in demand.
1. The assumption of the elimination of scarcity tends to make people over use/waste that resource until the limits are seen.
2. Wealth is created by doing the reverse. Making something more scarce, into something more plentiful.
In other words, if you cut off ways of innovating for wealth, no matter how plentiful things are, you are destined for destitution.
@@sirellyn Well,ST is probably three to four centuries late,and the ST Humans got a map-reset as well as early alien tech support so......

@F-zero91maru You know there are pretty girls on Earth right? The likelihood of an extra-terrestrial species looking even remotely human are astronomically small
@@senseweaver01 Not as small as you'd think. They would have to be tool users with forward facing "eyes". Omnivorous with an interest in being warm as well. Upright is a strong possibility as is Mammalian. But I think the Tholians and Edosians are more realistic than the Klingons.
@@jeffreymeehan3116 I didn't say they wouldn't be similar, I said they wouldn't LOOK similar. Forward facing eyes may be the only similarity. They don't actually need to be warm, they might not be omnivorous either, you've just assumed that for no reason - there are humans who aren't omnivorous. They might not even be bipedal. They could be aquatic, or subterranean. They just reached that point of technology because they persevered and evolved.
@@senseweaver01 We needed animal protein to grow our big brains. We needed fire to keep us warm and to make tools. So would any other species. Reptiles had a much earlier start and they didn't evolve anywhere near the same patterns as us. Bipedal is unlikely but I said upright. Something like a scorpion or centaur isn't impossible. That's why I said Edosians. Subterranean people wouldn't need heat or light so they wouldn't use fire. Eyes are liabilities to moles after all. Aquatics that travel interstellar would need access to metals meaning fire and using tools so no flippers. If you can't create or use a knife, you can't create warp drive or a spaceship to house it in.
Since the replicator does not produce living things, all of the food it makes would be sterile. The cheese would not have any bacterial culture in it, and lettuce would no longer be alive. If left uneaten, food might spoil is a very odd way. You might also have problems if your intestinal flora were wiped out, for example by an antibiotic, since the replicator would not make any bacteria to replace them.
That is something I've never seen anyone bring up before.
That's a very good point. Though, in theory, it's a problem that would exist even today. On a Mars mission, for example, the food would need to be preserved for long-term use, which means sterilization by pasteurization or irradiation. I suppose on long voyages, the crew might need probiotic supplements, either supplied, or made on board. I can totally imagine Neelix brewing beer, baking sourdough, and aging cheese in a cargo bay.
A molecular replicator might have *protocols preventing* the creation of living things but it should be *able* to create them. The transporter does it.
That is a very good point! It is surprising though that it cannot replicate bacteria as it is similar to a transporter which can reproduce living things so why can't it?
@@gort5583 Because Star Trek never follows an idea beyond what makes for good tv. Really, we should have ships with skeleton crews but the ability to beam in any expert crew-person from the buffer at a moments notice. We should have away teams backing themselves up before dangerous missions. Violent death should be a minor inconvenience… but that’s not good tv.
I think they should have scanned the food and water with a tricorder first like they do everything else
oh Jolene Blalock where art thou!!!

This is by far my favorite episode of Enterprise. There's no elaborate story arcs, no silly inter-species politics, just a perfect little science-fiction bottle episode!
For me it's a tie between this one and the Catwalk episode.
@@gfh110 Yeah, on the catwalk 😄
Which episode is it?
@@MultiverseCODM I believe it's called "Dead Stop"
A replicator is an inevitable development from a transporter - you just preload the pattern buffer with one of a series of pre-recorded patterns.
The look Archer gives Trip at 0:48 is brilliant like "Come on Trip there's no way this is gonna work, but fine let's see"
Also "I doubt there's a catfish within 130 light-years" is a great quote to hear out of context lol
The equivalent of "See any cows around here?"
probably my 2nd favorite out of context line, only beaten by "Computer deactivate iguana"
What Archer failed to remember is chef had five kilos of frozen catfish in ships cold stores.
@@taylorbesharah8 Take the cheese to sickbay
This scene would have been greatly improved with just a little fake steam coming from the dish. It looks cold.
Lee Bee like Janeway's personal replicator replicating a "liquified" pot roast!
and it would have been better if it didn't give him a whole meal, when all he asked for was a pan fried catfish. The computer doesn't just make up other stuff unless you ask. Just like when she asked for cold water, it didn't include a lemon wedge or make it carbonated cold water, etc. It would have just given him the fish, no veggies or bread included.
@@eolsunder ...very likely the entire dish was also in the database. Remember, there is a live Chef as a member of the crew. In his kitchen menu database is a full description for the pan fried catfish dish so as Tucker's request was for food, the space station gave what it believed was requested . Now if Tucker only asked for a catfish, very likely it would be a uncooked catfish, possibly living.
@@normanlee6609 It wouldn't of been living, a notable plot point of this episode is that life is one of the few things this tech CAN'T replicate, so it would definately of been a dead catfish (probbly akin to a freshly caught one from a fish market)

Ouiii, absolument et le plus rapidement possible. Cela fait des années qu'on nous montre ces technologies dans tous les films de Science-Fiction comme étant de la fiction. Hé bien maintenant, cela deviendra notre réalité !....Merci beaucoup de ce rappel...:-)
What's great about this is it shows the older Captain is still wary of this technology, yet the younger crew members are happy to indulge. That's pretty much how all leaps in technology tend to be.
Yes, I get it that T'pol is in her 60's, but as a Vulcan, she's more readily willing to embrace new technology. Vulcans live over 200 years. She's still young.
Archers is what like mid 40s? Trip is probably like late 20s and T'Pol is probably in the Vulcan equivalent of that.

This was a really good episode, one of many.
When I started watching Enterprise I was hoping for episodes like this where they acquire new technology we've seen in later series. Instead I stopped watching when time travel became a major story arc with a species never mentioned in later shows in the Star Trek timeline.
Trip looked ready to ask the vegetarian alien T'Pol if she wanted a bite before realizing it was a bad move.
Well it’s replicated so it’s not like the fish died
Behind the scenes a small baby fish was born, grown with timelapse field in a glass of water+food , brutally slaughtered and fried alive, then beamed over from the kitchen...

Repair stations like this would be incredibly useful. As long as you had a decent computer that didn't require brains, and a power supply you could keep it in deep space. It would just recycle the damaged materials to rebuild those parts.
If this was The Jetsons, it would be called "a-food-a-rack-a-cycle"
If someone invited replicators existed they could eliminate world hunger
If someone invented replicators the government would probably take is as it would be too dangerous in the wrong hands.
Replicators wouldn't be free for everyone to use. They'd crack down on it and make it a luxury item only for the wealthy. They'd put a super-steep price tag on it (like.... 8 million dollars) and make it a status sort of appliance.
"Oh, you don't have the PRISMATIC X-5000 replicator? Mine is programmed with 11,000 foods and drinks, all creatable within 6 seconds. Over 300 varieties of ice cream for the children, and 1,900 varieties of drinks for the adults!"
For not being able to show emotion, vulcans do loot mighty pissed off
So they encounter a machine that can replicate any physical object while the ship is effectively stranded due to a lack of titanium. Immediately orders catfish.
I wanted a Star Trek Replicator, but I compromised.
I ate grilled cheese off the radiator instead.
Damn, one of my people in star trek universe. Thank you for that.

Its not the Replicator you want, its the lack of need which you need.
This is another Star Trek invention that will become reality.
that's a damn smart replicator, 'one pan fried catfish'. 'Oh, I can do better than that...'
Not just the fish's genome and recipe, but the station's ai synthesized the correct fork.
Five. Hundred. Cigarettes.
It's ironic in the 24th Century people were sick of replicators. Sisko cooked everything from scratch and many of the 24th century crews wanted the real deal like what Archer got everyday from his Chef. Even regular coffee tasted off besides Klingon Coffee
It's amazing how Starfleet went to Trips wonder to Sisko's disdain for replicator food.
It could be that since many Federation citizens in the 24th century have eaten replicator foods since birth it has all become bland to them. Commander Riker points out in a TNG episode when he is making an omelet by hand that while a replicator would be more efficient at the task, it wouldn't have any flare or creativity that comes with normal cooking. One could imagine that the logistics department of Starfleet would not see a good reason for supplying ships with a large stockpile of normal foodstuffs when they have replicators on board and enough spare parts to fix them when they break.
TBH, given how quickly technology has gone from a marvel to the bane of our existance within my lifetime, I can kinda understand where they're coming from.
I think the thing with replicated food is that its all the same. Obviously each dish will taste different from one another, but say, every single cup of Tea Earl Grey Hot that Picard ever gets is identical, down to the (lack of) scratches on the cup. While a dish might be good at first, it would get old fast.
Damn, Trip is just the hottest Star Trek male character ever! Even his "this fish is good" and "not bad" expressions in this scene are sexy!

LoL...i was thinking same thing when trip was asking for catfish
I'm with Archer on this one. Yes it's an amazing technology, but most cultural customs, most people would make the effort to ask before literally downloading their entire ships database. Bear in mind, the station didn't just potentially download the genome for catfish and cornbread, it may have also downloaded psychological profiles, weapons or warhead information, secret files in the ships database that are for a captain or admirals eyes only. Detailed data on other species, shop deployments and weaknesses.
Would you want do hop into a hospital with a broken leg, where the entire staff knew you had mental health problems, knew you'd carelessly caught and STI in your teens or worse, were badly abused as a child. That information isn't pertinent to fixing a broken leg and by moral standards, that kind of information should not be accessed or required by a dr in order to mend a broken bone.
It's just polite to ask, or at least ask what information or database the station was.allowed to access, and which database were off limits.
It doesnt need to know everything to fix the ship, so why did it download it?
Hence why Archer isn't happy.

I remember saw in a Stargate & star trek crossover fan fiction，that SG-1 totally freaked out when crew of enterprise-d introduced them to“replicators”
I really wanted to see more of this weird station. Maybe a story ark about its builders. Maybe it's builders with the advanced technology and the data they revieved by scanning ships computers allowed them intimate knowledge of the quadrant. Enough to want to invade. Would of been an interesting possibility for a post-voyager series. After collecting knowledge of species movements throughout the quadrant a mysterious species invades the alpha and beta quadrants. And only by banding together can the races of the alpha and beta quadrants repel them.

Great episode great show. Archer what a buzz kill
The important thing to remember is that the replicators pull their solid matter from blocks of compressed molecular-dense base material. These are all rearranged in a transporter beam into whatever form is called for. Given that all the scraps and dirty plates are returned to the replicator you have to realize that they are then re-sequenced again into the blocks. This means you are eating at least some of someone else's scraps and dirty napkin.
Replicators are cool.
Trip: Smells like the real thing...
Me: Oh smells like muddy swamp water?
Not once it's breaded and fried, it doesn't. :-)
I've never eaten catfish, we don't have them in Australia but I've watched enough MasterChef and Hell's Kitchen to know that it's hard to cook correctly. Basically tastes like mud if you mess it up.
