Starfleet
In Motion
There's rather a lot of crew on a Federation starship. So apart
from jogging around a lot during a red alert, what the heck do they
all do? Uncle Geoff muses on the unlucky blue shirts who draw the
Enterprise's toilet duty.
02/2004
The
Shipment (Star Trek Enterprise)
The Shipment was designed to be a turning point for Enterprise;
more specifically, the episode is meant to change the way the viewer
responds to the Xindi, by making the race more sympathetic. Unfortunately,
our Evan tended to find the writers' tactics here just a little
on the obvious side.
01/2003
Star
Trek Enterprise: Anomaly
Seeing the episode title "Anomaly" set off a few dozen alarms for
our Evan. The title is reminiscent of the lowest form of storytelling
we all saw so commonly on Voyager. Did it disappoint? Read on ...
11/2003
Star
Trek Enterprise: Exile
This is the first episode of the season that is utterly devoid of
any Trip/T'Pol scenes, at least in the romantic sense. Maybe that's
one of the reasons our Evan loved it so much. What, no sensual T'Pol
scenes? Forgetaboutit.
11/2003
Star
Trek Enterprise: Extinction
In "Extinction," a sterile alien race, which is now extinct, creates
a metagenic virus that has the effect of changing all other humanoid
lifeforms into their own species. As far as originality goes, Evan
reckons this episode gets a fairly average grade.
11/2003
Star
Trek Enterprise: Impulse
Evan ponders whether this episode indicates that the show's reached
a point where a continuing storyline can only go so far before involving
the main characters in interesting and personal ways. Why? Well,
poor old T'Pol is carted into sickbay, and she's obviously pushed
way past the edge of sanity and into the realm of the truly psychotic.
11/2003
Star
Trek Enterprise: Rajiin
This ep's premise appeared to be that the Enterprise was to take
on a beautiful woman, who would use erotic and hypnotic powers to
entice the crew. Evan thought we were in for another variation on
"Precious Cargo," but he was pleasantly surprised.
11/2003
The
Xindi
In the first episode of the third season Enterprise, Evan discovers
'The Xindi' is not only a decent payoff to the second season finale,
but it has some wonderful setups for the future. Trek on.
10/2003
Bounty
While Archer is taken prisoner by a bounty hunter, T'Pol is infected
by a pathogen which unleashes her mating urges. Tim finds an episode
which is one of the season's worst: appallingly bad in fact.
08/2003
Cogenitor
A first contact situation leads Trip to get overly involved with
the life and rights of a new species. There's a few plot conveniences,
but this proves fairly meaty stuff.
08/2003
First
Flight
Archer gets word than an old colleague has died, prompting him to
tell T'Pol about the early days of warp test flights. Goofy in spots,
but fairly charming overall says our Tim.
08/2003
Regeneration
The discovery of a crashed ship in the Arctic leads to humanity's
first ever encounter with the Borg. Mostly a collection of horror-movie
cliches. Good moments, but that's all.
08/2003
The
Breach
While Trip, Reed, and Mayweather must travel through treacherous
caves in order to find some lost Denobulans, Phlox finds himself
facing a patient with a long-standing grudge against Phlox's own
race. The character material is good, the jeopardy sub-plot is not
so great though
08/2003
The
Expanse
In the season finale, an attack on Earth by a new alien race brings
a change of mission for the Enterprise. Tim discovers lots of setup,
but not a lot of payoff.
08/2003
Canamar
Archer and Trip, falsely accused of smuggling, find themselves on
an Enolian prison ship headed for the dreaded penal colony of Canamar.
06/2003
Future
Tense
The discovery of a wrecked ship, apparently from the future, thrusts
Archer and the Enterprise right in the middle of the Temporal Cold
War.
06/2003
Horizon
Travis Mayweather returns home to his parents' ship, the Horizon,
only to find that things have changed in his absence.
06/2003
Judgement
Archer is accused of crimes against the Klingon Empire and brought
before a tribunal.
06/2003
Cease
Fire
Andorian commander Shran calls upon Archer to mediate a dispute
between the Andorians and the Vulcans.
04/2003
Stigma
T'Pol becomes seriously ill with a disease condemned by most parts
of Vulcan society.
04/2003
Dawn
After Trip's shuttlepod is attacked, he finds himself stranded on
a rapidly heating moon with an already inflammatory enemy. More
Star Trek Enterprise deconstructionalism from the pen of Timothy
W. Lynch.
03/2003
Vanishing
Point
After using the transporter to beam down for the first time, Hoshi
fears that she hasn't been put together quite properly.
02/2003
Precious
Cargo
When a repair mission turns into a trap, Trip finds himself stuck
protecting a high-and-mighty princess who was being held hostage.
02/2003
The
Catwalk
With the approach of a neutronic storm, the Enterprise crew is forced
to take refuge in a maintenance shaft running along one nacelle.
02/2003
Star
Trek Nemesis
As the "Star Trek" series seems slowly to lose steam, Mark finds
the movie contains one late - uncharacteristic - burst of life and
energy, a science-fictional examination of the nature-nurture question.
Picard and Data each meet physically identical copies of their former
selves and each must deal with the similarities and differences.
The question faced is, what makes a person who he is?
01/2003
The
Seventh
T'Pol asks Archer along on a classified mission which threatens
to reveal an incident she has long hidden from herself.
01/2003
The Communicator
When Lieutenant Reed loses his communicator on a landing mission,
he and Archer return to retrieve it before it contaminates that
planet's culture.
01/2003
Singularity
Radiation from a nearby black hole affects the Trek crew's behaviour
in some unexpected ways.
01/2003
Dead
Stop
The Enterprise, in desperate need of repair, comes aboard an automated
space station that works miracles for a terrible price. Sounds a
little like the greasy spoon in our local motorway service station.
12/2002
A
Night in Sickbay
Archer spends the night in sickbay when an away mission threatens
Porthos' life. Our Tim discovers some okay cultural stuff for Phlox,
far overshadowed by the truly horrific sludge in between.
12/2002
Marauders
The Enterprise helps teach a mining colony to protect itself from
the repeated depredations of a Klingon raiding party. Well, we're
still waiting for the damn Klingons to turn up in nylon uniforms
and green grease paint.
12/2002
Shockwave
Part II
As Archer attempts to make his way back from the 31st century, those
damn tricky Suliban takes the Enterprise crew captive. And even
their silly theme tune is growing on us!
11/2002
Carbon
Creek
T'Pol tells Trip and Archer about her great-grandmother T'Mir, who
was part of an expedition to Earth that crashed in the 1950s. Vulcans
at Roswell; who would have thought?
11/2002
Minefield
When the Enterprise stumbles into a Romulan minefield, Reed finds
himself in a life-or-death situation. As good as excuse as any for
some more hammy acting, we suppose.
11/2002
Two
Days and Two Nights
The Enterprise crew takes two days of shore leave on the pleasure
planet of Risa. But does a tale of interstellar 'Holidays from Hell'
make for an engaging plot?
09/2002
Shockwave
After a mission goes horribly wrong, Captain Archer finds out that
all may not be as it seems. He glances in the mirror and discovers
that he's a six-year-old girl (actually, we're kidding about the
last bit).
09/2002
Fallen
Hero
Due to an undisclosed emergency, the original Enterprise is dispatched
to pick up a Vulcan ambassador … only to find that all is not as
it seems.
08/2002
Desert
Crossing
A mission of mercy leaves Trip and Captain Archer caught in crossfire,
with the only way out a very long 'trek' through a vast expanse
of desert. Forgive the pun, but peruse the review.
08/2002
Detained
Captain
Archer and Mayweather find themselves in prison with several dozen
Suliban. But these alien devils are both more and less than they
appear.
07/2002
Vox
Sola
An exceptionally
outlandish life form boards the Enterprise, seizing several members
of the crew. Interpreter Hoshi is forced to push her communication
skills to their limit.
07/2002
Oasis
A
search for spare parts leads the Star Trek Enterprise crew to a
crashed starship with a surprising secret.
06/2002
Acquisition
With the Enterprise crew incapacitated and a Ferengi
raiding party aboard, it falls to Trip, Archer, and T'Pol to save
the ship. More Trek reviews from the master.
05/2002
Rogue
Planet
While
investigating a "rogue planet" without a solar system of its own,
Archer and the crew meet a group of hunters who seek a most unusual
prey. Not the crew of Space 1999, then?
04/2002
Fusion
The Enterprise crew meets a group of Vulcans who've
chosen to embrace emotion, and T'Pol finds one of them strangely
compelling. More Star Trek Enterprise episode reviews from Mr Lynch.
04/2002
Shuttle
Pod One
Stranded in a shuttlepod and believing the Enterprise
to be destroyed, Trip and Reed face dwindling oxygen supplies and
their own fears.
04/2002
Fortunate
Son
The latest episode of Star Trek Enterprise lands on our reviewer's
doorstep. Timothy W. Lynch is the fortunate one who dishes the dirt
on Fortunate Son
03/2002
Cold
Front
The Temporal Cold War is heating up when Suliban agent Silik arrives
on the Enterprise
03/2002
Silent
Enemy
Timothy W. Lynch braves radiation poisoning from his malfunctioning
TV set to bring you another Star Trek Enterprise review; and discovers
that while Silent Enemy is a bit artificial, it's certainly entertaining
enough.
03/2002
Dear
Doctor
Timothy W. Lynch runs across a Star Trek Enterprise episode which
is both marvelous, meaty and engrossing; as a dying race forces
a terrible choice on Dr. Phlox.
03/2002
Sleeping
Dogs
In this episode of Star Trek Enterprise, when a Klingon vessel-in-distress
puts an away-team in a tenuous position, the plot becomes watchable
for a few character moments, then telegraphed and calculated.
03/2002
Shadows
Of P'jem
In this episode of Star Trek Enterprise, Archer and T'Pol are caught
up in a civil war, the action becomes a continuity-fest - just padded
enough to disappoint those with high expectations.
03/2002
A
Touch Of 'Civilization'
The latest episode of Star Trek Enterprise lands on our reviewer's
doorstep. Is the new Trek actually getting any better?

Ah, those executives over at the Trek franchise, how they spoil

what I call hedging your bets.
