Connor Trinneer started off a tad rough as Trip but settles in to become one of the best Trek characters around. This Enemy Mine style episode has a lot to love all around.

Jack's Notes
Easily my least favorite episode of the show. It seems like the writers couldn't figure out a way to get Archer the info he needed on the Xindi, so they came up with a cheat to advance the show. Still well acted and directed.

Jack's Notes
This one is well acted with a terrific story. So why only three and a half? I hate it when someone takes over a starfleet vessel. It makes me gnash my teeth. And while the outcome is good, until then, I was seething at the blindly religious fools....

This one was strange....if Enterprise makes it through the subspace corridor then wouldn't the second ship vanish from the timeline instantly? Oh well....still a fun episode.

Now that I see where this story is headed, I love it. So, the Vulcans in Enterprise start out as space-jerks and are now headed back to their roots. Well done!
