[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] I thought the episode was pretty weak, really. It [i]was[/i] great to see more of the Enterprise world, and I liked that the torpedoes were so pathetic. [poof!]...{nothing happens}... The reversal of Archer's decision to leave the massacred Axanar ship seemed tenative and his insecurity (a theme of the episode it would seem) would be a dangerous (and unlikely) trait for any Starship Captain, let alone the first. Had I been a writer in the meeting, I would have proposed cutting out the double-back, make Archer give the 'human code' speech to T'pol right there (maybe hint that he be a little anxious about the possibility of getting his crew in over his heads, or something if TPTB need some vulnerability), and pushed those minutes into the tension for the resolution, more shouting from the Axanar, less overt uncomfortability from Sato (the scene with Phlox was great, and I think they could've left it at that even). Sato was really grating on my nerves throughout this episode. She was really really whiny(sp?) and downright unprofessional at times. That's not at all what I would expect from one of humanity's best exo-linguistics experts. She didn't come across as being so bookish in "Broken Bow" (her curiosity about the Klingon audio recording, and her strong inflections with the Klingon). I suppose she's inexperienced and some trepidation could only be expected, but that kind of indecisiveness in the thick of it could get the crew killed really fast and for a really dumb reason. They really seemed to be hitting us over the head with her insecurity. I'm hoping this'll be a one-time thing and not a recurring theme 'cause it'd get tired REAL fast. Faster than Reed's Worf impression. (Which didn't really bother me as much as others have expressed.) All told: I don't see this being one of those episodes that makes me think about it a lot, and compels me to watch the tape over and over again.
