Overall this episode was ok.

As far as hijackings go, this was one of the more interesting ones. A familiar *sigh* “current event” theme was however the focus of tonight’s episode.

Extreme fundamentalism… They are non-believers, “that makes them our enemies.” –D’Jamat. I know there have been current event/past Trek episode parallels, but Enterprise writers seem to be more blatant about their rip offs of recent events (9/11---use of Xindi weapon on Expanse and the religious zealots (the crew of the Triannon) are too much like Islamic Fundamentalists…however you could probably apply their doctrine to any extremist group. Still the Islamic extremist parallel is strong…the follower who blew himself up with the bio weapon clinched it for me.

I thought that it was pretty ingenious of Archer to use the transporter as his method of death (escape). :)

Let’s see what else. I suppose I will watch the episode again this weekend and see what insight I can further gain. ;)


I give this episode :) :) :P out of 5 :)

I also thought saying that the transporter could be used as a method of execution was ingenious.

UMM, does anyone HAVE a transporter? I'm thinking that maybe its time to put this one out of its misery.

Sorry, IMO, it was incredibly ordinary. Yes, TOS had many episodes with as little meat as this one, but they did them with some style - albeit a sometimes campy style.

BTW, did T'Pol forget the Vulcan neck pinch?

And is there not a first run episode next week? (My station showed no previews.)

It was a fair episode. A little to reminiscent of "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield",though. At least D'jamat didn't point out the heretics' crescents were on the right (left?) side.

I liked the "death by transporter bit" too. It was also nice to see Mayweather get some screen time, even if he only had one line.

I don’t know why - I really liked tonight’s episode. Maybe because it was how trek was is suppose to be. I have missed that for so long anything trek gets me going.

I like the transporter us as well, even if it was a little obvious I like how he described it as a waste disposal unit.


I loved when D'jamot(sp?) erased the Expanse data, it made me feel like "WOW I cant believe he did that" which is probably why I like the episode. There have seldom been enterprise episodes that got a response form me like that.

I could have done with out the ending, It was a little forced and to much like "
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" - TOS

But I have to say if enterprise has more episodes like this to come

Wichita, I didn't get previews either. However st.com shows a new episode next week. It's titled "Proving Ground" and features Commander Shran.

Well, I thought the show was ok, but I also found a few problems.

As an interesting side note, Space (the Canadian version of Sci Fi) showed"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" this afternoon. They show the episodes in chronological order, but it just worked out that way. I knew what the ending was going to be as soon as I saw they had gone down in the shuttle. The ending was too much of a ripoff for my taste.

The other quibble I have is the use of the transporter. It was an ingenius idea, however there was one problem with it. Yes, I am going to say it. The idea broke with canon from TOS. I seem remember in one episode (I think Day of The Dove, but I am not sure) that Kirk wanted to beam within the ship. Spock said it might be possible, but had never been done. They were concerned about materializing in a bulkhead if they were not perfectly accurate. Now who wants to explain why it was such a problem for the TOS gang to do something that was easy to do 150 years earlier?

Overall just average.

maybe - it was just as hard, Archer had no othere chose realy, so he took the only way out even if it was a long shot and he got luck?

Maybe this is one more further bit of proof that somehow, someway, when this series ends (whenever that will be...) it will turn out to be an alternate timeline that needed to be repaired? <_< :angel: :whistle:

Alternate timeline is the key phrase. Whatever canon that has been violated/twisted/stretched/ignored for the last 2 and 1/2 years will inevitably be chalked up to the alternate timeline. I think B&B have taken on this mentality and figure they can write whatever they want and get away with it.

This is what infuriates me the most. We are being subjected to an entire season of Trek that is basically going to be erased from the normal timeline at the end of the season. Poof, it never happened!!! Just like that! I already feel cheated. <_<

I guess in some ways I can understand why they might be taking this approach (since we have considerable evidence to suggest this is what's going on). I just wish they would go back and watch the original series from beginning to end (throw in the movies too) and get a better idea for what they are supposed to be leading up to eventually.

^^^ I thought Archer wasn't beamed away but stayed in the pattern buffer until T'pol was left alone.
