Well I agree, they didn't even need Storm Front 1 and 2. Thanks to Braga they had to waste two episodes cause he thought he was being clever.
Interesting beginning, but, I wish they'd pull these things off when it doesn't look fake. The crowd and the 'digitised set' in the stadium made it feel like I was watching a video from Wing Commander 3 or something!
Vulcan looks good, incorporates TAS and TMP and the Director's cut effects and the Surface scenes of Vulcan seen in one of the Calendars.
Again, when Trip and T'Pol are looking at the lava fields - was a bit... digitise-y. Like, noticably so.
I liked the inside of the Vulcan house, I thought the outside looked very Human - somehow I picture them living more in Rock than wooden houses - but I guess they were trying to tie in the designs of the P'Jem monastery.
NICE, VERY NICE continuity touches... "The Andorian Incident" was like the 7th episode and it still has far-reaching consequences.
Nice to see the Columbia. Did anyone notice they didn't give the Captain a name!?! When did Archer like rock-climbing? I know it's a convenient way to get away from things.
Poor Dr. Phlox. He seems the most enlightened of nearly all of them! More continuity with the egg-drop soup!
The Ring-ship is on the wall again. This time I noticed it's different to the TMP version - they've used the sketches of the ship done my Matt Jeffries! Some other ships too.
What was that floating ship above the stadium at the start? It looked sort of like the orbital-plane ship from the opening credits.
This episode of course, felt more like a season opener - and it was a good one at that. Can't wait to see new episodes.
Guest stars - Jack Donner - wasn't he "Tal" from "The Enterprise Incident"? Was he the Wedding 'celebrant'. Did they also use the same wedding 'dialogue' as used in - err did it even happen - in "Amok Time"?
Rigellians are on Earth - or were they always there and it was a "different Rigel" the Enterprise visited in "Broken Bow".
Didn't like the 'Earth seal' used on Archer's podium... They cut off half of Australia. (And Alaska for others who care) and there is no New Zealand. (We know it exists! see "Caretaker" VOY
Also a mention of the planet from "Strange New World".
Good episode.

Didn't Archer mention having an arguement with a Capt. Jeffries from the NX-Class design?
Let's see vidcaps!!!

I was wondering if I'd imagined that they never mentioned her name. I thought maybe they'd said it one time at the beginning and I missed it.

Maybe by then New Zealand is undersea, enclosed under a glass dome, and that's why they use it as a rehab colony?

I was going to start a new thread about this, but since this one is still so close to the top, I'll just resurrect.
I'm just finally getting to see the first several episodes of the season and there's something that I don't understand. Archer and company stopped Vosk which realligned the timeline, right? But wasn't the whole Expanse and the Xindi attack *part* of the Temporal Cold War? Daniels said that history had no record of Enterprise's mission in the Expanse, so it must have been a change brought about by the TCW. The Sphere Builders were from the future and came back to try and get the Xindi to wipe out humanity, right?
So if the Temporal Cold War has been prevented by stopping Vosk, why do people still remember Enterprise's mission to the Expanse and why did the Xindi attack on Earth still happen?

The Temporal Cold War was not "prevented." Its acceleration into the all-out, full-blown conflict that culminated in the Battle of Procyon V (as we saw in "Azati Prime") was prevented. Everything we've seen happen in "real time" on ENT still has happened.

So then one might say that the TCW has always been going on and always will be going on as temporal agents of various factions change and unchange history, possibly traveling to different time periods in an attempt to reconfigure things.
