Spoilers and related observation

It seems that the thoughts of a bioweapon were wrong. As was demonstrated in this future timeline we are directly shown the new weapon is a larger version of the first weapon which is a planet killer.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned the part where T'pol says

Spoiler

"Are they still docked with us?" and then rams the docked Xindi ship into the other one, disabling them both and knocking them loose. AWESOME!!

Finally, something I've never seen in a Star Trek episode before.

All right. I didn't think it needed it. After all, this is a discussion for people who have seen the episode, right?

I'd always thought so, but I figured we could follow suit since others had used them. It was a half-assed chiding at best, so forgive me if you please.

Spoiler

I think they're working on a number of weapons, including the larger version of the probe, a bio-weapon, and I'm guessing we'll see a lot more as the writers think of them. I like the organic technology angle and bet they'll develop that angle even further in future episodes.

I think they are making sure to give everyone some space battle stuff with almost every episode now. Very nice ramming from T'Pol, if I can say so...

dunno ... it was an okay episode.

don't you think the earth would have turned it's entire production capabilities to defense?

sure, I guess they just dealt with all that off camera ... but it just seems that we just rolled over and let them come w/o a fight.

and you think xindi presence large enough to take out earth and all it's colonies would have ticked off a couple of other races (thanks for nothin' ya pointy eared hobgoblins!).

T'pol did look good with longer hair though

 

[Crothian]

Personally, I was suprised that no ship was seen ramming or trying to ram the weapon? Star Trek seems to enjoy having ships go to "ramming speed".

 

[Napftor]

I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. That last line makes you wonder if Archer remebers anything.

Good use of the time-fix. It's nice to not be sure how they're going to make everything right again. And did anyone else catch the part about "thanking Shran" for Enterprise's shields? Methinks the Andorians will be helping Archer in the Expanse all too soon.

Excuse my lack of spoiler tags but:
a. I've not seen them used before in an ep discussion
and
b. Don't know how to work them.

I liked the episode too. If you don't think about the premise too hard, the whole think works pretty well. I agree the three shots to take down Archer was bit over the top, but he's the top dog on the show so that's to be expected. I also agree that T'Pol looks great with long hair.

I really liked the Ceti Alpha reference too.

It was nice to see the Death Star make a special guest appearance. I wonder if later we'll find out there's an ancient order of Xindi who use laser swords and have strange mental abilities?

More seriously, it was a fun standalone story. Didn't really do much for me in terms of the overall storyline, though - we already knew the Enterprise has to stop the Xindi to save the earth, right? So nothing to see here, move along.

Hmm, Rosemary's Baby for movie night. That at least brings their movie database up to the late 1960s. I wonder if Earth produces any music, movies, or books in the future? If they do, nobody on any of the Star Trek shows seems to be a fan.

This was the best episode of Enterprise to date!

I wanted more space battles, and I got it. And when I get what I want, good things happen

 

[2d6]

I really liked this episode, one of the more fun

Spoiler

out of time episodes I've seen

. T'pol looking good as ever
