Okay, I'm kinda low on ideas for a suitable pun this week, so I'm going with a VFX shot in the preview that involves grabbing and disintegration.
Still, we seem to be infiltrating a Sphere this week, so we'll be getting some new insights on what the Sphere Builders are up to. Plus, hopefully Enterprise will be cleaned up a little on the INSIDE. They've obviously been going without showers or laundry for several episodes (except T'Pol for some reason) but will they fix things enough to be presentable to the Xindi Council? At the least, I do expect Enterprise to be looking pretty crappy thorugh the end of the season.

Question: Does ENT do longer air on Tuesdays, wherever it was that it used to? It never seems to be available on the Internet anymore until after the Wednesday airing.

Goddamn dumbass fucking basketball playoffs are being shown here instead of Enterprise!
I have to record it while I'm at work (it's playing on Saturday night at 8:30pm of all times) and watch it sunday morning!
I bet the episode's ratings suck, if every station that carries Basketball moves the episode to such a crappy timeslot.

I used to get Enterprise on Tuesday nights from an Edmonton channel, but that channel moved its timeslot for Enterprise. Now the earliest showing is Wednesday nights at 8 on a Halifax station.

That's because Paramount stopped sending the Canadian feeds on Tuesday afternoons and is only sending the UPN-formatted ones on Wedenesday mornings...

-T'pol has no more trellium in her system. -Vulcans don't get headaches
-MACO Corp. Hawkins (I thought I heard Janus, his first name??) had 6 months of EV suit training (including EV combat training) on the Janus Loop.
-Spherebuilders a.k.a. "The Guardians" to the Xindi. The Xindi were brought up to revere them. They began to appear to the Xindi following the destruction of thier homeworld to guide them to habitable planets.
-Degra and Enterprise were intercepted and excorted by 4 other Xindi (Aquatic, Humanoid, and Arborial) vessels.
-I missed some of the specie bio's... - Reptilian Commander Dolum had his daughters newborn son poisoned because of a minor physical defect that would have prevented him from joining the military. -Insectoid has 67 dialects. -When the Aquatics speak in past tense they use sonar. -Reptilians prefer to be near the ground.
-The Xindi Council was in a complex constructed by the Avians approximately 4000 years ago. The Council was formed to prevent what happened the the Avians. (An avian skull was show)
-The Spheres are connected by a network of artifical intelligence. -The Sphere was entered via shuttle through an exhaust vent disguised behind a 'hologram'. -Spherebuilder pod constructed out of same material as shell of the Spheres. -Sphere claw which seems to defend the interior grabs and kills the MACO.
-Spherebuilders pursuade the Reptilians and Insectoids to commandeer 'the weapon' project and go through with the attack. Dolum points out that there will be heavy loses on both sides and that it may precipitate a civil war. -In turn, the Spherebuilders promise the Reptilians that they will be the dominant species of the Xindi. -The Reptilians feign acceptance of Archers evidence and agree to postpone the launch. -Dolum kills Degra.
-Trip decides to utilize those energy pods that Degra gave them a couple eps back. -A section of Mess Hall is up and running again. -Phlox has a tapeworm in him to help him lose weight.
-coil assembly was damaged on the shuttlepod. -23 men and women have died on Enterprise, thus far. Exceeding the 20% acceptable standard military losses. -Vulcan axiom: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".
-22 crewmen on Reptilian Xindi scout destroyed last episode. -Enterprise can now make, I believe it was said, Warp 3.4.
-5 insectoid ships ascending from surface excorting the 'The Weapon'. -All available Xindi ships have been ordered to intercept. -Very large 'ST: First Contact' reminsicent space battle ensues. -The weakspot of 'the weapon' its primary generators located 6 meters below aft thrusters. -Hoshi is kidnapped by the Reptilians and they and the Sphere escape through vortex...

-- Since when to the Xindi have transporter tech? We did see them using transporters in the future timeline of "Twilight", but in the previous encounters in the present (I forget which episodes), the Reptilians always docked to board the NX-01.
-- The standard Xindi-Reptilian scout that we've been seeing has 22 crewmen aboard.
-- The Xindi homeworld was called Xindus.
-- I heard Warp 3.4 as the NX-01's current maximum speed as well.
-- Mayweather saves the day! If I was seeing the effects shots (and sounds) properly, it was the shuttlepod's phasers (ahem, phase cannons) that finally destroyed that robotic arm and saved the rest of the away team.
-- Hoshi's got a plot line, too! What is this, the Twilight Zone? How come these forgotten characters are suddenly getting attention?

Most of the weapons are beams of different colours, though there's one species using some sort of pulse similar to what we see from MACOs rifles or aliens of the week from last week. But since there are a lot of unfamiliar ships, yeah, very confusing battle. I also think someone else besides NX was firing something that looks just like NX's photon torpedoes.
Strange though, of all the things the Reptilians could have grabbed, they took Hoshi. They probably could have just as easily stole the Ent's coolant regulator or something.

Well, thats in reference to the Reptilian line "You think we didn't think of that?" They're probably going to put her to work hacking the codes for the weapon or some such.

Kronos or Qo'noS... both by the same name... I wouldn't be surprised if the pattern repeated.

Well, it was in a reference to the Avians once "darkening the skies of Xindus", so I'm guessing it was the original homeworld. Possibly both worlds were given the same name, anyway.
Since 23 crewmembers exceeds 20%, we know there were fewer than 115 people on board to start.
I was a bit confused by what happened inside the sphere. It seemed like they had just started to disconnect the memory core when those robot arms attacked, and they ran away. Yet, later, in the shuttle, T'Pol is going over the data they got. Are we supposed to assume the shuttle finished off the arms, and they went back and finished retrieving the core?
"MACO Corp. Hawkins (I thought I heard Janus, his first name??)..."
No, Reed was referring to that "Janus Loop". He said, "The Janus. That includes EV combat training?".
One other thing: I realize the Xindi arc is supposed to have a certain resemblance to current US events, but didn't Dolum's "you're either with us, or you're against us" line seem a bit much?
