Connor Trinneer on "Unexpected": "I don't know how much I'm allowed to tell you, I get pregnant, but it's not like I get impregnated. It's an accident. This alien and I put our hands in this granule things and read each other's minds and the next thing you know I've got nipples coming out of my arm." [...] "They're made out of gelatin, like the stuff you buy in the supermarket, which has more luminosity than rubber or latex," he said, describing the nipples. "You could actually eat these things if you wanted to." [...] "In grad school, in drama school, they force you to take risks. Hell, I was already pregnant, and that didn't bother me one bit. What a great opportunity that was, and that's how I looked at it. I might have felt differently had I never been to drama school."
	Original TrekToday rumor-mill article (08/21/2001): "This apparently very funny episode will feature the male pregnancy first mentioned by Rick Berman in the recent TV Guide interview. 'Unexpected' opens when malfunctions start to occur on the Enterprise, and the crew notice an alien ship hiding in their exhaust wake. It turns out that the aliens are there to recharge their ship to try and get home. The Enterprise engineer, Charlie 'Trip' Tucker, goes over to the aliens to help them repair their ship - but unwittingly becomes pregnant in the process! Trip manages to fix the ship, and it departs. Once the crew figure out that Trip is indeed pregnant, they try to track down the aliens, and find them hiding in the slipstream of a Klingon ship. The Klingons are not at all receptive to Captain Archer and threaten to destroy both the alien ship and the Enterprise. For a change, T'Pol helps Archer resolve the situation, and the Klingons agree to leave the aliens unharmed - if they agree to trade some primitive holo-technology."
	TV Guide description: "After discovering the presence of a damaged alien vessel, Archer dispatches Trip to its aid, but the engineer's encounter with a Xyrillian female has an unexpected side effect."
	Julianne Christie previously appeared as Neelix' love interest, the Talaxian Drexa in the Voyager episode "Homestead".
