Factual errors: According to Lt. Reed, the shuttle pod engines are above critical while exerting a force of 2500 kilodynes. Unless there was an unmentioned redefinition of the "dyne", a unit of force in the cgs-system, 2500 kdyn are equivalent to 25 Newton, which is approximately the gravity force of a mass of 2.5 kg on earth - something everybody can exert quite easily using a single finger. more
Quotes:
Sim:
So what are you gonna do? Drag me down to sickbay? Force me onto a bio-bed at gunpoint?
Capt. Jonathan Archer:
If you truly have all of Trip's memories... you know the answer to that. I don't have to tell you what's at stake. I must complete this mission, and to do that, I need Trip. Trip! I take whatever steps necessary to save him.
Sim:
Even if it means killing me?
Capt. Jonathan Archer:
Even if it means killing you.
Sim:
You're not a murderer.
Capt. Jonathan Archer:
Don't make me one.

While trying to stabilize the warp engine for longer voyages in warp 5.0, Trip has an accident and enters in coma. Dr. Phlox convinces Captain Archer that the only way to save Trip is developing a symbiotic using a Lyssarian worm and then transplanting a brain nervous system. Archer authorizes the procedure but he has troubles with the fast-growing clone that has Trip memories and his own personality together. Meanwhile the Enterprise is trapped without propulsion in a dangerous particles field.
"Similitude" is a good episode where the ethical issue of using clone to replace parts is exposed. I immediately recalled "The Island", proving that the cloning process shall be discussed by the society and controlled through well-studied laws. Unfortunately the plot is disclosed in the very beginning, but the ambiguous feeling of Sim (or Trip?) for T'Pol is rewarded with her farewell kiss. My vote is nine.
Title (Brazil): "Semelhança" ("Resemblance")
