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.

This one was pretty cool. Archer's intensity increased dramatically since the attack on Earth and watching Bakula evolve the character is fascinating. The mining boss is perfectly played - disgusting and creepy.

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.

As a gift for negotiating with the Orion Syndicate, Archer receives three Orion Slave Girls, but these gifts have their own agenda. Meanwhile, Trip and T'Pol come to terms with the psychic bond that has been created between them.

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.

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.
