a little early?

Yeah, why not? :)

It's never too early to bash Enterprise, but I'm going to wait this week since this sounds like it has a chance to be a good one.

About time they got to the Xindi, this story is getting too old

:up:

Hmmm. Tough choice.

there might be some decontamination....

Isn't that too much of a spoiler?

I agree.

I think somebody is trying WAY too hard to promote this thing.

I mean, there are still commercials, yes?

You're right. I spoilerized it.

Thanks Mv!

wow, we actually saw bodies get sucked out. that's a first I think
I wanted more of the Ent-J, exterior shot would have been nice. Hopefully Daniel's intervention (purposely used this word since it is used for other important things, like when a friend is doing some harmful) will get this back onto the "birth of teh federation" storyline

Wasn't too bad.

Was that a Promethus class ship we saw in the background during the battle?

We've seen it at least twice before, but both times they were Borg. Seeing people who are on the main crew of a show sucked out was really shocking.

They probably didnt want to show too much of the Ent-J so they don't limit themselves in the future.

Archer held prisoner again!!!!

In all fairness, it's only like the 2nd or 3rd time this season, as opposed to the 10th or 11th time, which was probably how many there were last season.

I'm not sure if I liked this because it was sorta good or because

If you want to know:

"Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes."

I had a serious Star Wars vibe going throughout this episode. Only, instead of the Death Star being built in orbit around Endor, it was being built beneath the waters of Naboo. Even the plan to destroy it felt like Lando piloting the Falcon.

T'Pol is now officially not a Vulcan. It's either some crippling disease, Romulan blood, or some other reason. But, it's been getting worse the longer she's in the Expanse.

This episode easily had some of the best production values in a long time. The underwater effects and attack on the Enterprise were kewl. :)

It will be interesting to see how they deal with a crippled ship and no easy way of repairing it.

T'Pol is so non-vulcan it's disturbing. At first I just figured that not all Vulcans acted like Spock or Tuvock. But this girl isn't even close. She's crying, yelling, irrational, etc etc. Either the writers/directors are screwing up really badly or there's an underlying story here.

So T'Pol has a thing for Archer but she's sleeping with Trip? Not that I have a problem with it, I just wanted to make sure I'm seeing things correctly.


My guess is that the Andorians show up.
D

I'm torn on that.
On the one hand, it's a bit of a cop-out. :down:
On the other, it means more Combs. :up::up:

T'Pol is female, what's so surprising about her behavior?

*ducks*

Hate Cliff Hangers....
 

Wow, I totally expected that the damage would be undone via time travel: Daniels comes back, picks up Archer, says "See you are an *******," then starts him over again to do it correctly.

We'll see.
