When the crew realizes the captain is alive...yeah, I got the tears in the eyes. Terrific episode but a rather useless end to Silik.

Terrific episode! I love these kind of down time episodes. Watching Archer confront his demons and some PTSD really shows off what Scott Bakula can do with a good script.

This one is good overall but the augment part of the story on this episode feels disjointed.

A strange feeling episode that has some pretty cool ramifications. I saw a blooper where the dying Vulcan moans "rosebud" at Scott Bakula causing everyone to crack ujp - I don't think I will watch this one the same way again after seeing that.

Now that I see where this story is headed, I love it. So, the Vulcans in Enterprise start out as space-jerks and are now headed back to their roots. Well done!

This one shows that they all can't be winners. A very poorly written and oddly directed episode that feels like large parts were cut for some reason.

Another awesome episode. I love that season 4 has a lot of multi-part stories....it's just sad because I know they did this because the show was ending.

While fun overall, this episode is a bit annoying. The Orion girls were fun at first but eventually turn silly. I love that Trip is the only one that isn't affected.

A terrific episode that gives us Trekkies some reasons to geek all over the place. Tholians. Gorn. A TOS era ship down to every detail. Awesome.

My only gripes? Hunting the Gorn takes too long and the design of the Gorn....why change it at all? Still a killer episode.

This feels like a very classic Trek story. Love seeing Peter Weller in this role. He has really honed his acting skills over the years.

A great end to this two-parter. The scene with Trip and T'Pol at the end actually brought me to tears - so hats off to Connor Trinneer for becoming a legitimate acting force on this show.

Two centuries in the future, two crew members of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) (Commander William Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi) observe a holodeck creation of the final voyage of the NX-01 in 2161 (six years after the events of Terra Prime) as it returns to Earth for decommissioning and the signing of the United Federation of Planets charter.

Jack's Review
Well, here we go. I really like this episode overall. There are a few things I have to point out as negatives. Shoehorning a TNG story into Enterprise felt like a slap in the face to a terrific series. They deserved an unfettered end story. Troi spilling the beans on the upcoming death in the episode is a storytelling faux pas. Ending the show without hearing Archer's speech shows some disdain for the character. The aftermath of the death seems downplayed. The rescue mission felt forced even if it was pretty cool. The wink....I read up on the aftermath and I like where the novels after Enterprise took the character in question - but the death was rather pointless without giving viewers a notion - other than inferring what the wink meant - of the character's actual fate. Still a great episode with some great acting.
