Review : |
So now we're getting more of an explanation for the problems with Vulcans over the previous three series. Something has gone awry with their culture, and this is sorting it out. Well, I suppose all cultures go through phases, and that must be what is happening here. In general, the cast did fairly well, and perhaps Jolene Blalock is beginning to learn to act. Overall, it was a decent link episode, but perhaps not as good as the first part. |

What can I say? This is an extremely solid episode with in-universe references, Archer being put through the mill, plus the strange mystical, almost ethnic feeling that usually works so well in Star Trek. The trilogy style works very well for Enterprise. It allows the series to develop characters (unusual for starship-based Trek but crucial to the appeal of DS9), we see factions rise and fall, we get to spend quality time learning new things and revisiting familiar ideas from Trek's distant past. |
