Star Trek Enterprise 1×20 – Oasis

Star Trek Enterprise 1×20 – Oasis
  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.…

Star Trek Enterprise 1×19 – Acquisition

Star Trek Enterprise 1×19 – Acquisition
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…

Star Trek Enterprise 1×15 – Shadows of P’Jem

Star Trek Enterprise 1×15 – Shadows of P’Jem
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…

Star Trek Enterprise 1×14 – Sleeping Dogs

Star Trek Enterprise 1×14 – Sleeping Dogs
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…

Star Trek Enterprise 1×13 – Dear Doctor

Star Trek Enterprise 1×13 – Dear Doctor
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…

Star Trek Enterprise 1×11 – Cold Front

Star Trek Enterprise 1×11 – Cold Front
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…

Star Trek Enterprise 1×12 – Silent Enemy

Star Trek Enterprise 1×12 – Silent Enemy
Confused? You may have noticed this is not the next production or release episode. We finally hit that point where the idea behind this podcast takes shape, though in an odd way. This episode, despite being released as 01x12, is next in chronological order. Following Fortunate Son (01x10) and preceding Cold Front (01x11). An oversight…

Star Trek Enterprise 1×10 – Fortunate Son

Star Trek Enterprise 1×10 – Fortunate Son
Sorry LeVar Burton, we love you, but we just don't love your episodes :( This episode had the potential to be interest, just as Travis Mayweather's backstory had the potential to be interesting, but it was undermined by awkward dialog, direction, and acting. It's a shame! No other series could have explored long haul freighters…
