We all learn a little about ourselves and each other during this episode as Archer and Travis face their own prejudices. Also it's a mini Quantum Leap reunion as Dean Stockwell makes an appearance alongside Scott Bakula. Overall we liked this episode, even if we were beaten over the head with the message. For anyone…
What starts out as a creepy ghost story about a crashed transport ship turns into a creepy father/daughter story about recreating all of your dead friends and family and pretending everything is normal for 20 years. The best thing about this episode is that it brings back Rene Auber.. Uh.. Ober.. Uhh.. Auborjin.. Auberjonois.…
Enterprise brings us the Ferengi for their first chronological appearance in the Star Trek universe until we see them again in The Next Generation, about 200 years later. Or does the Deep Space Nine episode Little Green Men count? Did that happen yet, or has it yet to have happened? Ugh. Time travel. This is…
Ever set out to go hunting but find love instead? The Enterprise stumbles upon a rogue planet (saying the name of the episode should be a trope at this point). Archer and Co. crash the hunting party of a few Eskan. Turns out whatever it is these fellas are hunting happens to be capable of…
Don't be like this Tolaris fellow.. This episode holds a special place as the lowest rated among us so far! I honestly did not see that coming.. Has there ever been such an over the top slimey Vulcan (or character) as this Tolaris fellow? Next to the seemingly harmless Kov/Commander Trip storyline this episode has…
Enterprise has a surprising number of strong episodes in their first season and I think most would say this should be counted among them. Trip and Reed face certain death, each dealing with it the only way they know how--Fightin' and drinkin'. Memory Alpha: Link Enterprise 01x016 - Shuttlepod One Directed by David Livingston Written by Rick Berman…
This direct sequel to the Andorian Incident brings back one of our favorite Star Trek regulars, Jeffrey Combs as Shran. This episode also happens to be one of the last times in my memory that the show tries to force us to think Archer and T'Pol could be a thing. I think we're all grateful for…
Enterprise 01x014 - Sleeping Dogs Directed by: Les Landau Written by: Fred Dekker Klingon episodes tend to be judged pretty harshly by most of our group, but this one managed to beat the odds, and not just because 90% of the Klingons are unconscious the whole time. And you know what? I think I speak…
Moral ambiguity and ethical dilemmas abound in Star Trek. This episode puts Archer and Phlox at odds as they decide their roles in the fate of two species. This episode also put your hosts at odds as they wrestled with their own questions. Did Archer make the right choice? Was Phlox being reasonable? Is Crewman Cutler…
Time travel episodes, man. We go a little off the rails now and again this episode as we try to dissect the motives of our time traveling crewman, straighten out the logic of time travel, and argue over the physics of grav-plating. This episode is absolutely riddled with spoilers. The audio is a little funny…
