[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] This is probably going to shock a few people here, but I was rather disappointed with this episode. It had it's good points, but overall the story seemed kinda... flat. It's nice that the writers picked back up on "The Andorian Incident" and showed the consequences of the actions of Enterprise's crew, and the pacing of the episode was excellent. It wasn't too rushed and the action sequences were timed well. The growing development of Archer and T'Pol's friendship was nicely done. However, I really dislike that the writers seemed to pretty much villify the Vulcans as a whole. I mean, the Vulcans [i]really[/i] came across as emotional children throwing a temper tantrum. They want to make T'Pol the scapegoat for P'Jem? That's revenge. Ambassador Soval was acting nearly irrate when talking to Admiral Forrest. T'Pol was likewise showing anger and frustration when she and Archer were trying to escape their bonds. The Vulcan captain was too easily swayed by Archer at the end of the episode. Not much was given to the story of why some of the Coridan are ticked at the Vulcans, and we never found out the Vulcans' side of the story. How do we know that the Vulcans really were causing the problems and that it wasn't the Andorians setting them up? It seemed as if the writers just painted the Vulcans to be the stereotypical bad guys. Some of the actions of the humans weren't too great either. Every time I hear one of the human character points out to a Vulcan that he or she has "repressed emotions," it makes me think that these people aren't the most diplomatic humans around. It's really getting a bit old, to be honest. And what's with just having Tucker and Reed do the rescue mission? All of a sudden the four top officers are away from the ship. At least we know where Kirk learned that habit from, though. All in all, it was an all right episode, but a lot of it disappointed me. It seems that the writers strayed too much from what is realistic for some of these characters. [/QB][/QUOTE]
