Probably the best ep this season, I liked tons of stuff about this ep they had more xindi council involvement, continued the major arc, actually put the increased sexyness factor to good use, you seen a xindi "bug" fighting! and xindi reptilians too, new weapons for maco and xindi appeared, edger archer returned.

only one question why in the expanse would they test a particle/beam weapon if they are going to build a bio weapon or is this just one of the many plans they had which they were discussing at the start of the ep?

Overall: 8.7/10

Not a great content ep, but the overlapping Xindi story is the real star here. I really want to see this confrontation come soon, they are an interesting people, or group of peoples. The girl was hot, but not as hot as Blalock. She and Trip are going to get closer, I think.

It was an episode which was pretty clearly derivative of Firefly's "Our Miss Reynolds". Except not as good.

This was one of the coolest new episodes, I really like the character changes too. The change in T'Pol is great and the change in Archer is too...it makes him look more like a Captain

I liked this episode. It is a 100000000000000 times improvement over Extinction. The combat scenes prevalent in this season, and with this episode, are still very cool and exciting to me. The new alien weaponry was a cool surprise.

Are they beginning to explore, in further detail, a relationship between T'Pol and Trip? Maybe not a relationship as in bf/gf, but perhaps one that is representative of the Human and Vulcan cultures. There certainly is a change in Trip's attitude towards T'Pol since season one. With the recurrence of "massage" sleep therapy through several of the recent episodes, I do believe the show writers have something intended for Trip and T'Pol.

I should clarify my eariler statement.....when I said "not as good", I didn't mean it was bad. It was above-average for ENT.

^ plz don't compare everything in the world to firefly, there is a better show (in my opinion of course) that also starts with F

...and I'll leave it at that ..

This episode I think was the best one so far, I liked the story line and the Xindi involvement I hope we see more of the Xindi in the future.

The caterpillar Xindi species remind me of Voyager's Species 8472-whatever.

^ Ah well it certainly stuck the right notes with me it don't know if you watched it from the start but it wasn't a series you could jump into at any point. But when I got into it, nothing seems to compare to it, especially the way it ended.. if there was anything screaming out for a movie or special feature to round it off it was Farscape

at least Firefly fans have a movie look forward too

(sorry about this being off topic)

I couldn't get into Farscape either. I watched the first episode and thought it was...ok but nothing special. I then watched a couple of episodes after that but I lost interest...then, I tried to watch it again but thought it was a bit boring (It was an episode where for some reason, the lead character was comparing everything to Klingons, saying stuff like "Well the Klingons don't do that") and then I tried to start watching it again at what I think is a season premier but it had that same main character going round and round on a rollercoaster...I didn't understand it lol.

Seems like Enterprise could (dare I say it) be improving...although I bet by saying that, I've jinxed it

Better than alot of episodes in season II, as season III is doing quite well! Though I thought the majority of the story seemed kinda rushed, it was good overall.

7/10

I didn't like the theme tune to either Enterprise or Farscape lol, that's the only thing that's similar IMO between the shows lol.

But that's off topic lol.

Enterprise seems to be getting more and more popular this time round. I've read that ratings are steadily if slowly on the increase. Perhaps the future is looking up for Enterprise???

eclipse8472 · **Sun Oct 05, 2003 7:30 pm**

^ yeah this ep posted the highest ratings this season
