Roxann Dawson ("Enterprise" (2001) TV Series episodes - 1.07 "Andorian Incident, The", 1.22 "Vox Sola", 2.04 "Dead Stop", 2.13 "Dawn", 2.25 "Bounty", 3.06 "Exile", 3.12 "Chosen Realm", 3.16 "Doctor's Orders", 3.21 "E²", and 4.08 "Awakening") directs this episode with Andre Bormanis ("Enterprise" (2001) TV Series episodes - (story) 1.24 "Desert Crossing", (story) 2.18 "Crossing, The", (story) 3.17 "Hatchery", (teleplay) 1.24 "Desert Crossing", (teleplay) 2.08 "Communicator, The", (teleplay) 3.17 "Hatchery", (writer) 1.12 "Silent Enemy", (writer) 2.20 "Horizon", (writer) 3.03 "Extinction", (writer) 3.23 "Countdown", and (writer) 4.08 "Awakening") penning the script.

I think Dawson is one of the best things to come out of Voyager (especially as a director ) and she's done some great work directing other, well-received Enterprise episodes. I look forward to seeing more of her work.

The beginning after the recap reminded me of The Phantom Menace. Anyone else catch that?

Wheeee! Archer gains a Template and immediately goes on a Dungeon crawl.

This season keeps getting better and better.

Another great outing with the Enterprise crew. I'm so sad this is likely the final season. Vulcans firing on humans--it's great! Can't wait for the big fight next week with Andoria.

Why couldn't they have done this two years ago.. then Enterprise might have worked as a concept. It's sad that we have to wait until they pretty much cancel it to get what all of the fans assumed the show would be about from the start!

I have to say though that I still don't buy many of the Vulcan characters on the show.. the emotion control issue is being played badly by the main villian in this arc. He's a returning Trek actor which is good but honestly he doesn't act Vulcan at all.. and seems far more Human or Romulan.. I tend to blame the actor though because the delivery is the issue I think - not the lines themselves.

Fantastic episode. Great tension! Who would of thought any of us would be anxiously awaiting the next episode from week to week. Long live the three episode arcs!
