Director: James A. Contner
Jack's Review
Easily one of Trek's finest. I love that it was done in the manner of T'Pol telling Tucker and Archer the story over dinner with a level of ambiguity at the end. The story itself is fun and heart warming.

Enterprise snags a cloaked mine and Lieutenant Reed and Captain Archer race to disable it during first contact with the Romulan Star Empire.

Jack's Review
I wanted to rate this one higher but this one has one of the biggest writing flaws in the series....why didn't they use the transporter to beam reed away from the hull plate? The Romulan ship was a terrific surprise and the acting is terrific.
Episode:204

Heavily damaged by the Romulan mine, Enterprise is repaired by an unmanned and automated sentient alien repair station.

Heartwarming and hilarious from start to finish. Love that the Kreetassans are back and as easily offended as before. This one had me laughing and crying at the same time.

This one was a lot of fun too. It was basically a western in the sci-fi genre, which I always like.

I have seen stories like this one before - Lt Barklay, for instance....but the twist at the end of this one had me reeling. Very well done with a lot of heartwarming moments.

Jack's Review
This is a great episode - with one flaw I spotted instantly. Point the nose of the ship perpendicular to the storm and mash the gas pedal. I realize that the wave probably extended many light years in every direction but the effect clearly showed a wave that could be dodged. Still - I really enjoyed the story.
Episode:213

Connor Trinneer started off a tad rough as Trip but settles in to become one of the best Trek characters around. This Enemy Mine style episode has a lot to love all around.

This one was awesome. I love Archer's solution at the end too - basically, without a prime directive, he just says "FU" to the aliens.
Episode:219
Judgment

Captain Archer is arrested and imprisoned by the Klingons for allegedly conspiring against the Empire.

I love J.G. Hertzler - only one man plays a Klingon better. While very rarely are courtroom dramas something I enjoy, this one was a lot of fun.
Episode:220

Jack's Review
This added some much needed depth to Mayweather's character. Anthony Montgomery took the longest to really feel out his character and from this episode on he feels more centered as an actor.
Episode:221

Due to the demands of a militant faction, Enterprise is asked to retrieve Denobulan geologists from an alien cave.

Jack's Review
I am going to have a hard time reviewing this one. Trip's actions were totally out of line. Fortunately the character grows from the experience. He has a big heart and wearing it on his sleeve winds up getting him chewed out in one of the most powerful scenes in all of Trek. I do not, however, believe that a senior officer of Trip's status would do what he did. This is a polarizing episode that shows off why we need Star Trek on television. A show that helps us question our own thinking and displays a moral center we should all adopt is TV worth watching.
Episode:223
Regeneration

A group of Borg (from Star Trek: First Contact) are revived after a century frozen in the Arctic ice.
Features:
The Borg

Jack's Review
Easily one of Trek's best episodes. The sense of peril is very real. The action is fast paced and tense. The acting and direction is spot-on perfect. This episode should be included on the First Contact Blu-Ray disc.
Episode:224

A sadly heart warming tale with a very emotional ending. I would love to have seen Keith Carradine on the show prior to this episode about his death.
