Jack's Review
A great start to the series. Loads of action and enough character development to make everyone interesting from the get-go. I can tell there are a few things I am going to need to adjust to. The lack of shields on the ship, no force fields, and the barely used transporter being a few of them. Still, a well done start.

Jack's Review
Never a huge fan of episodes where humanoids talk in similes. If the character means "lies" then say that instead of "shale". Still - overall - a fun episode.

A good episode but I think it should have come a few episodes deeper into the season. That would have added more to T'Pol's choice.

This one feels like something you would see on TOS, Voyager, or Next Generation. Great idea and well executed. This one has become my favorite episode of Enterprise after several viewings. 100% classic Trek.

Jack's Review
This is the first stinker in the whole season. It's not terrible, but the acting-captain is not well played and the Nausicaan pirates are way less rough than they should be.
Episode:111

Now we're talking! This one is actually pretty horrifying. The aliens are menacing and the threat they pose is no joke. Plus - they are just plain creepy looking.

The temporal cold war is a really neat idea and I had been waiting for more info about it. This episode shows off Bakula's acting chops and gives viewers a really nice cliffhanger to end season one.
