A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


* ADateWithRosiePalms: Discussed when Travis said that as a teenager, tiring himself out made him less horny because of "idle hands and all that".

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The idea that female Orions have {{pheromones}} that control males and make other females feel ill is never used again. In the next arc of this very season of ''Enterprise'' Orion women will be shown serving on the MirrorUniverse ''Enterprise'', and in the 2009 ''[[Film/StarTrek2009 Star Trek]]'' film, Uhura has a female Orion roommate who obviously doesn't give her a headache and while she sleeps with Kirk, doesn't appear to exert any unusual influence over him. And if BigBad Osyraa in Season 3 of ''[[Series/StarTrekDiscovery Star Trek Discovery]]'' could do that, she surely would have been shown using it to her advantage. ''[[WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks Lower Decks]]'' Justifies this however by saying not all Orion women emitted or utilized such pheromones, nor were all Orion women even capable of doing so. As seen with Tendi being offended that Mariner would suggest she use her pheromone pointing out she's not even that type of Orion.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The idea that female Orions have {{pheromones}} that control males and make other females feel ill is never used again. Tendi in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks Lower Decks]]'' doesn't present any such problem for her crewmates, in the next arc of this very season of ''Enterprise'' Orion women will be shown serving on the MirrorUniverse ''Enterprise'', and in the 2009 ''[[Film/StarTrek2009 Star Trek]]'' film, Uhura has a female Orion roommate who obviously doesn't give her a headache and while she sleeps with Kirk, doesn't appear to exert any unusual influence over him. And if BigBad Osyraa in Season 3 of ''[[Series/StarTrekDiscovery Star Trek Discovery]]'' could do that, she surely would have been shown using it to her advantage. Furthermore, when male Orions are shown working with or for female Orions on ''Discovery'', there's no indication that the males are enslaved. This could be justified by the fact that mirror-universe counterparts aren't always exactly identical, and the other examples all took place far further in the future, possibly after a way to block the effects of the pheromones was developed.

Added DiffLines:

* SexuallyTransmittedSuperpowers: The episode reveals that Vulcans are immune to Orions, who usually make everyone fall in love with them at first sight unless there's an IncompatibleOrientation, and if a human has slept with a Vulcan, they gain this immunity.
