Yipee! :( I am so glad it's already Tuesday I am jonesen for some Enterprise. I'm really looking forward to this episode. While I have read a lot of posters don't like time travel episodes, I have always loved them. If the TCW and the Xindi war come together as we have been suspecting, the second half of this season should be even better than the first! :dude:

Well, the Xindi conflict was triggered by the TCW, so they've been connected the whole time.  Yes, I'd love to see a huge showdown near the end of Season 3.  TNG "The Best of Both Worlds" style cliffhanger anyone? :dude:

Yes, that is it exactly . Both arcs coming together would be the ultimate. Plus, it would really keep us guessing as to what to expect for season 4.

Very, very good episode! The first 5 minutes or so were a little slow but needed to set the episode up.

 

As you are watching it:

 

(this is not a spoiler but I'll put it in a spoiler box in case some people don't want to know anything at all about the episode)

Click for Spoiler:

Watch when Archer and T'Pol are in the human's apartment, they use some unusual zooming and panning with the camera. It was very odd to me to see this, it gave more of an effect that we were in the room with them and we were holding a video camera taping the whole thing, to me anyway.

 

 

I also liked the line (this one's a bit of a spoiler but not much):

 

Click for Spoiler:

Untie him again... I was rolling on the floor at that one! LOL

 

 

Click for Spoiler:

Have we ever seen the Vulcan Neck pinch in Enterprise yet? If not we see it for the first time in this episode, I can't remember seeing it before.

 

 

I'll have to think about a rating for the rating thread but I'm leaning in the 9.5 to 10 range.

Of late, I've been very impressed with the camera work done on ENT, much it has, the minute I see it, actually reminded me of other OS episodes most recently North Star, it reeked (in a good way) of Specter of the Gun. I'll watch for that VBG.

I don't remember which episode it was (shame on me) but yes we have, we the audience saw it but no crew members did, T'Pol was alone with the person she pinched at the time WAIT! I just remembered! It was Singularity, she did Phlox for trying to butcher Travis's brain.

yes the camera work was a bit odd in the apartment, with alot of unnessesary zooming (zooming hasnt even been used frequently for a LONG time. maybe even since the 70s! lol). but i do think it worked there.

 

this episode was pretty killer. it was very well done. how do they do it? they take a potentialy embarassing plot idea and make it watchable. alot of the times time travel stories in trek turn out kind of dumb, but not this one (another one i love is "trials and tribble-ations" in ds9. well, its called something to that effect). even last week. the whole cowboy story could have been real dumb (not nearly as dumb as abraham lincoln. lol), but it really worked. i love enterprise!

 

why does that guy who rounded up "specimens" always play the weirdest characters on trek? he also played that crazy hologram in an ep of voyager. i like him though. hes a good actor.

 

all in all, that episode was cool and it was kind of odd seeing archer drive a truck! lol.

 

 

9/10

I like some time travel episodes, it's the TCW that I loathe ... which they had to "invent" to have time travel episodes since time travel wasn't possible until TOS. I want to like this series but the TCW idea prevents me from enjoying it, and I must admit that you are partly right.

 

I'm not a big fan of time travel in general, mainly because I don't believe time travel will ever be possible, at least not huge amounts of time, so basing a major war around time travel just turns me off ... I want Star Trek, not "The Time Machine".

Time travel wasn't possible fot the Federation until TOS but who'd to say others couldn't time travel? Also, once some does travel back in time then time becomes irrelevant. In this the time travel doesn't originate in this era but rather in the 30th (is it the 30th?) century. By that time in the Trek universe we know that time travel is well established. Also, as far as it not being possible until the time of TOS just look at the Guardian of Forever, it had existed in it's then present form since "before our sun burned bright in the sky". So time travel, in Trek, has been possible since well before humanity existed.

 

That said, too much time travel can act as a crutch and possibly harm a series if done too much. I personally like the TCW storyline and liik forward to seeing how it turns out and just exactly who "future guy" is, and even though there is photographic evidence that he is me it's not :lol:

You're right, time travel was possible for others from just about the beginning of time.

 

I loved City On The Edge Of Forever, one of the best Star Trek episodes ever, but it was a stand-alone time travel episode that didn't require an arching time travel storyline (war) to happen ... and that's what made it so great.

 

I just don't like the TCW. As "City" has proven, we don't need all the extra cerebral baggage of a TCW to travel in time. The TCW makes it difficult to casually watch the show. With TOS, you could miss a few episodes (go out to the movies, or a ballgame, or out to dinner) and still know exactly what was going on.

 

You take tonight for instance, I missed ENT because I was doing something way more important ... spending time with my 3 year old son. I want to be able to tune in next week and know exactly whats going on, the TCW makes that difficult.
