No one has reacted - and again - i am the first to post a reaction - and I look forward to some debate on this one.
This one, I think was an OK ep. I didn't wow me. Very low-tech, so they gave the FX dudes a break for a change. Again - I'd like to point out a continuing arc in my posts: No Mayweather again in this episode. As some people have said, they may as well write the poor bastard out of Enterprise all together.
And it's not like i like his character.. i just wanted to see him grow in to a Sulu type character. But as it is always in Star Trekian tradition - only 3 character are prevelant..
TOS: Kirk, Spock and McCoy. TNG: Picard, Data, Riker (w/ honorable mention to LaForge) DS9: Sisko, Dax, Odo (w/ honorable mention to Kira) Voy: Janeway, 7of9 and 7of9 (w/ honorable mention to 7of9 and Janeway)
and now - here we are - Enterprise: Archer, Trip and T'Pol.
Now - back to the episode.
I think it was a good vacation from the space-faring storylines. Every Star Trek series has now done a "Western" episode. Kudo's to the FX guys for making Archer's shoulder explode! That was cool. I found the characters likable - and i wanted to punch the deputy in the face the minute he openned his mouth - so he was convincing enough for me.
LIke I said - it didn't wow me.. but just taking it for pure entertainment value .. i like it enough...
My favorite scene: When T'Pol is taken hostage.. and Reed shoots her with the phase pistol - and then shoots the cowboy .. I loved it!!

I was dreading the episode buuuuut... I really loved the episode. ...by far Trek's best and only plausable western.
They actually managed to take the WORST premise of TOS and make areally really good episode! No "parrallel earth" crap either!
Moment of true greatness: Reed stuns T'Pol! No wonder he's my favorite character! GO REED!
Archer getting shot was particularly gruesome too. The deputy was so damn dispicable that I wanted him to die. Badly.
Bakula's acting was far above par...this whole season has shown all the actors coming into their own. Except Mayweather, but I've heard that actor asked for time off.

With honorable mention to everyone else on the cast. Even to Morn, talkative bastard that he was. B)

WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oh, that's just because Worf was on DS9 and Geordi became Mr. I'll-get-the-ship-blown-up-by-LOSERS in Generations. Nobody wants to see any more of him than that nice scene in Insurrection on the bridge. Troi's role in Nemesis was small but imprornant. I'd frankly rather see Wesley on the big screen than his mom.

Am I forgetting when DS9 did a western? And Voyager too... I don't remember a Voyager Western either. TNG had Fist Full of Datas. TOS had an episode whose name I don't remember.
And I believe that VOY wasn't that bad when it comed to secondary characters
So, anyway, it was another pointless episode. It would be ok if it was 2nd season episode, but now? I thought they were supposed to fight with Xindi threat?
But I'm not saying that this was bad episode... It was quite good, actually... Go Reed go!
And Mayweather had one line. One damn line... What the hell is with those people? They created series with seven main characters. Not six. Seven. Even that barber had more screentime than poor Travis.

I wonder how those acters get paid? Is he getting screwed in his paycheck, because he only gets one line, a week?

I just wish actors got paid less when their performances sucked. Ol' Brad Pitt and Keannu Reeves would be on food stamps.

Shatner would have had little trouble keeping his weight down, too.

Anything focusing on Alexander or Troi is your cure to watch something....anything else.
