On a similar subject, it makes sense now that they purposefully cast Bakula if they were planning on doing a "time travel" Trek series all along, right from the beginning. Folks who decided to watch the show because they were following Bakula, or heard he was in the new Trek show, would have no problem with the idea of him in another type of time travel show even if they hadn't been Trek fans previously.

They went to Starfleet HQ which they've already established in the series is already in SF. When they got there...they were shot at by Luftwaffe planes with the German cross, and when they cut to events on the ground; Archer.

I don't know if it's obvious to anyone else yet, but it's obvious to me the bad guys waging the Temporal War are the Borg from the distant future.

I just rewatched the scene and they did have the US Star on them. So they were American planes.

I missed the whole darn thing, and wasn't home to record it. I hope it replays on saturday.

Gah!
Just when I thought things were going ok and would be wrapped up in a good manner (I figured the Andorians had rescued Archer aand would meet them on Earth for a happy reunion), out comes the shark tank. Unfortnately not only did Enterprise try to jump the shark, they seemed to have missed their landing and fell in with the shark where we can watch them be horriblely mangled next season.

Busy week...first change to catch up with the latest episode thread.
Overall I thought it was an amazing episode. I loved the scene of the spheres imploding inward like a tin can crushed in a giant's fist. I also liked how there was definite sacrafice and drama to going in there. The alien race from the future interfering was a perfect touch.
I hate to say it...but role Hoshi played was very well written (as much as I hate her character). She was traumatized by her previous experience and she wasn't going on as if it was business as usual.
The fight with the reptilians with Archer and Malcom at the end was great too. And I didn't see the explosive on the back coming either.
And the Andorians coming to the rescue! That was another twist that no one saw coming.
But the ending....perhaps I'm in the minority but I thought it was horrible. It's called "Star Trek" not "Time Trek." I mean really, how many times are they going to dip into that well? I started watching the series to see the old technology and see the federation emerge and shielding and phasers, etc. Instead I'm watching hull plating still...no tractor beams....and a whole bunch of time travel.
Mattcolville: I hope you are right about them being Borg because that's a great plot line. But it would have to be that archer never learns they are borg. Of course, Trek never was much concerned with continuity between series.
