Woo-Hooo!!!!!!!! Enterprise is finally fulfilling it's potential. That episode was awesome!

The best were the little things that we haven't really seen sin ce the orginal series....that was a good episode and Enterprise has really improved.

And the name of the episode was "The Forge," just like the book "Vulcan's Forge"? (And Geordi LaForge, but that's just a coincidence...).

Did anyone catch the nod to Khan?

I see it as finally becoming the prequel that I wanted it to be when I first heard of Enterprise. I actually look forward to Friday nights so I can watch Enterprise now. I haven't looked forward to watching a T.V program since Babylon 5 and X-Files (except the last season) where on the air. Enterprise is fast becoming something I can watch on T.V on a regular base (which is saying something because I don't watch T.V all that much anymore).

I'm liking the plot of this upcoming mini-arc, but what's with using plots from the movies? The Augments borrow from Star Trek II, this episode is taking from Star Trek III - are whales next?

I still thought the show was pretty good though.

Can whales "nod"? Cause it's all about "the Nod" now.

I still thought the show was pretty good though.

Me, too. Whatever it takes to get the fans back on board, I suppose. Still, it seems like a cheap way to do it to me, but it seems to be working. Anyone know how the ratings have been and what the skuttlebutt on the more staunch, conservative fan sites is like?

As long as the shows are this good, I could care less where the plots come from.

While I can see some correlation to Search for Spock. I really see this story arc as a "fix the feel of Vulcans" story while still paying homage to Star Trek 3 and the original series. My Trek Lore isn't all that great, but isn't the Vulcan that they framed Spock's grandmother/the Vulcan leader from the Trek episode where Spock and Kirk fight on Vulcan?

I also thought this was a particularly good episode. Did anyone else catch the questions that Syrranite put to Archer to test him. Can't remember them verbatim right now, but they were both heard spoken by the education unit to Spock at the beginning of The Voyage Home. In fact, after the 2nd question, I recalled the answer immediately and blurted out to my empty room, "Nothing unreal exists." Hehe...I'm such a geek.

There was some fairly bad acting in this episode, particularly from the Vulcan CIA officer, but overall I quite enjoyed it. Did anyone else notice the very TOS-sounding musical score when the Vulcan ambassador was doing the mind meld? A very nice subtle touch (or just my deluded imagingation, take your pic). It could have easily been Spock doing that meld. All in all, I feel like this is the first real season of Entrprise. Bravo for something finally being done right.
