2 in one night!

First Flight

Synopsis:

While Enterprise is investigating what appears to be a dark matter nebula, Archer receives news that A.G. Robinson, his old rival in the early days of the NX test program, has died. During a shuttlepod mission into the dark matter phenomenon, Archer reminisces to T'Pol about the time he and Robinson were pilots competing for the honor of being the first to break the Warp 2 barrier.

Bounty

Synopsis:

A Tellarite bounty hunter captures Archer intending to turn him over to the Klingons for a substantial reward. Meanwhile, T'Pol is infected with an alien pathogen that unleashes her primal Vulcan urges.

Wow, I thought T'Pol would go through Ponn Farr, or is that only Vulcan Males?

First Flight: 8/10

I only watched half of it because I was watching the season finale of "That 70's Show"

Bounty: 7/10

Didn't quite end up like I had imagined because Archer had, yet another, solo encounter. Nice filler ep.

first flight - Better than I expected nice to see new sets and stuff plus it was a good character development ep for Archer, one of his best performances so far

8.5/10

bounty

Yay Klingons thats good although the kinda made them seem feeble in my opinion non the less it was interesting plus it set the roots for a storyline which is going to spread over to next season I hope at least, the T Pol side story was typical but being a male I'm not complaining

8/10

I only saw First Flight and it was good. I give it 9/10.

First Flight - Provides an interesting history of Archer and warp travel. 7/10

Bounty - Very boring dialogue between Archer and the alien bounty hunter. T'pol and Phlox were amusing, but only briefly. 5/10

(My ratings have no standard, and is only comparative between the two episodes.)

Didn't see Flight, but I did watch bounty. I thought it was great...until the end. They were close to a good episode. Only close.

First...

Very good, and that was a surprise. The kind of character ep I love to see on Trek, reminded me of the glory days of the franchise (DS9)

Second...

A horny T'Pol is a ratings magnet, but a shallow story waiting to happen. Fortunatley I liked the Tellerite thing, the makeup was reinvented nicely in my view. Always nice to see Robert O'Reilly on Trek as well, although it would have been funny if they would have made him one of the Klingon goons instead.

Now...

On to the Expanse.
