I've just watched Cease Fire and I thought it was a corker of an episode.

I realy liked the way it started to for shadow the role the UFP will have in the Galaxy.

The way the episode combined action with good old fashend Star Trek every one getting along.

the andorians are cool and Archer is showing the Temproment af a 24 cenurey Starfleet Captain.

In Journey to Babel the Andorians did try to kill Kirk, but that was an attempt to thwart the admission of Coridan, and in the end of the episode...

...it is discovered that the Andorian that tried to kill Kirk wasn't an Andorian at all but an Orion that was surgically altered.

Click for Spoiler:

The U.S.S. Enterprise is appointed to transport ambassadors from many worlds to the Babel Conferences. Among those aboard are Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan and his human wife, Amanda — Spock's parents.

 

Keeping peace aboard his ship is complicated for Kirk by an unidentified vessel following the U.S.S. Enterprise and high tensions running among delegates on board. At a cocktail party, Ambassador Gav, a Tellarite, quarrels openly with Sarek about the admission of Coridan into the Federation. When Gav is later murdered, circumstantial evidence points to Sarek. The strain of such an accusation causes Sarek's already existing heart condition to worsen and he has the Vulcan equivalent of a heart attack. McCoy battles with less familiar Vulcan physiology to try and correct the damage. Spock is needed as a blood donor for the operation.

 

When Kirk is attacked by Thelev, an Andorian, Spock assumes command of the Enterprise, and refuses to participate in McCoy's operation on his father. The Vulcan insists that they identify and stop the vessel that is following them. Kirk fakes recovery and returns to the bridge, freeing Spock to go to the sickbay and assist in his father's surgery. On the bridge, Kirk must deal with the unknown ship, now in contact with someone on board the U.S.S. Enterprise. A search uncovers the fact that Thelev is not Andorian, but a surgically altered Orion, put on board to disrupt the Babel Conference.

 

The unknown ship attacks the U.S.S. Enterprise and is defeated. Rather than be captured, it destroys itself and Thelev commits suicide. With Spock available for the blood transfusion, Sarek's operation is a success and he recovers. Father and son make peace, realizing they have a common bond that transcends their differences. Kirk returns to sickbay for treatment of the knife wound caused by Thelev and McCoy gets the last word.

That’s right! I had forgotten about the one Andorian being altered, wasn’t he working with the Kingons?

I don't remember there being any reference to the Klingons at all. I'd have to watch the episode again to be sure though.

It might have been a different episode, one where the engines were rigged to explode when they engaged...

No, Journey to Babel in TOS was with the Andorians and Tellarites. It's also the first episode we meet Sarek and Amanda in.

The episode where the engines were set to explode when they went to warp was Elaan of Troyius. It was done by Kryton, a jilted suitor of the Dohlman, who was working with the Klingons.

Ok thanks for setting me straight about that, I have not been watching TOS for a long time while waiting for season box sets to be released so I guess I am very rusty. Time to break out the VHS’s for some refreshers.
