I'm at least slightly okay with the first decontamination scene between Trip and T'Pol. I can appreciate the idea that they planned the whole "starting out with a lot of open disdain for each other but growing together" arc and starting them out with some belligerent sexual tension. Because this is the thirstiest Trek they achieved this with a blue light, some underwear and a can of lotion, but at least there's an idea there.

The scene that makes me say "okay guys dial it back a bit" is...the crew are locked in their rooms, and Hoshi manages to break out into an air duct in the ceiling, which she falls out of, which somehow tears her top off, so she shows up at Malcolm's door with her tits in her hands saying "just shut up and give me a shirt." It's not really a character moment between the two, it's not like they're kinda into each other but because of their ranks they're trying to stay professional but they keep ending up in each other's personal space...it's just "We took one of the lead actresses shirt off. That's the """""""joke"""""""."
