[QUOTE="Orius, post: 576938, member: 8863"] Here's my picks. Some of my choices are a bit weak so I could choose a complete 10. There really aren't 10 episodes I like more than the others to really stick out, and it was a little difficult to pick ones to make a complete 10. "Broken Bow I&II" Well it was the first episode (technically first two, but I saw them aired together as a single two-hour episode), and had some good moments. For some reason, I found Archer mouthing off to the Vulcans to be refreshing. "The Andorian Incident" It was good to see the Andorians return after a [i]very[/i] long absence from the Star Trek universe. I also liked how they set up the fact that the Vulcans and Andorians are enemies, but there seems to be potential for good relations between humans and Andorians which will make things interesting in the future. "Civilization" I simply liked this episode. Although Archer doesn't want to do things the "Vulcan way", we see that he can take advice from T'Pol (i.e. avoiding "cultural contamination") when he sees there's sound reasoning behind it. "Shadows of P'Jem" Continues the Andorian storyline started in "The Andorian Incident". "Fusion" Well, except for the mind rapist, I liked these Vulcans, especially the fat guy. He was the first likeable Vulcan ever in the Star Trek universe (not counting Spock, who's only half-Vulcan anyway). "Fallen Hero" This was a good episode that deals with Archer's feeling towards the Vulcans. Lots of good character development here. "Two Days and Two Nights" This one gets my vote simply because Trip and Malcolm try to pick up alien women and fail miserably. This episode has one of my favorite exchanges of dialogue: Trip: "Gorgeous aliens. They were [i]gorgeous[/i]! Malcolm: "They were [i]male[/i]!" Trip: "Not at first!" "Precious Cargo" Sure this was a massively recycled Trek plot, but had some fun moments. "The Catwalk" I like this one because the alien invasion caught me by surprise. It's been a while since any Trek episode has done that. For the most part, the other episodes were average Trek fare that doesn't really stand out in my mind, or disappointing (i.e. "The Minefield which didn't focus enough on the Romulans for my taste, and which I suspect was probably little more than a plug for Nemesis). Then some episodes were completely lame. The worst offender in the lame category was "Unexpected". I just think male pregnancy plots are just inanely absurd. Of course there's the question of just how a mammilian species can reproduce with a reptilian one. And I just can't see [i]any[/i] Klingon saying "I can see my house from here!" FWIW, I've never seen "Desert Crossing", so I have no idea if that episode is good or bad. [/QUOTE]
