United (2)

Archer is able to work a fragile alliance between the Andorians, Tellarites, and Vulcans to try and capture the marauding ship that is attacking each of the group's ships. The task is made more difficult due to the marauders ability to mask its appearance as several other types of ships. Their chance comes after the marauder is temporarily knocked out of action, but then things go horribly wrong.

This is the first episode to air after UPN's announcement to cancel the series after season 4.

This is a fantastic episode!

Sad that, just as the show was becoming as good, if not better than some of the other Trek shows, it is announced that the show will not be renewed for a 5 th season.

The Aenar

Archer visits Shran's icy homeworld to find an Andorian subspecies called the Aenar, to determine their connection to the marauder destroying ships in the region.

This is the conclusion of a 3 part episode.
It was awesome!!!

I like that we get to see Shran's homeworld. Now, the Andorians are more than just " Funny looking blue guys with anteannae " as they were potrayed in TOS.

The Andorians have a homeworld, which we finally see, they have lovers and they have rituals for vengeance.

Splendid!!!!


Affliction (1)

While Enterprise visits Earth for the launch of Columbia, Phlox is kidnapped and forced to help the Klingons deal with a grave threat to their species.

Yeah, and the grave threat is the virus that made Klingons look human, as they did in TOS, and that DS9 episode where Sisko and crew go back to the era of Kirk and Spock.

In DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations," when trying to figure out why the Klingons of the TOS era have smooth heads, O'Brien suggests genetic engineering and Bashir assumes a viral mutation. As we learn in this episode, both are correct.

Section 31 is first mentioned in this one. This group played a part in a few DS 9 episodes.


This episode features the first on-screen mind meld since the practice became permissable in Vulcan society. Mind melds would become far more common in later Trek series.

James Avery guest stars as General K'Vagh.

Columbia, the identical sister ship to Enterprise is launched. It has a woman Captain. I like her.

This is in reference to the space shuttle, Columbia, which exploded upon re - entry about two years earlier.

This is another superb episode! I get mad when I think of the three seasons of this outstanding show that we'll never see.

Divergence (2)

With Columbia's help, the Enterprise crew grapples with sabotage to their ship as they pursue the truth behind the kidnapping of Phlox.

The first time that Enterprise is called USS Enterprise. [Shown on the screen that shows Enterprise's and Columbia's warp fields merging] The two ships merge warp fields because Klingons had beamed aboard Enterprise and sabotaging the Warp engines.

Tucker, who had transferred to Columbia in the preiviosu episode, is needed to save Enterprise, which cannot go slower than warp 5.2, or it will blow up. Think " Speed 1 ", only at warp 5.2.....

He is transferred by a rope. The scene was pretty cool, too.

Phlox needs a human volunteer to test a inti - viral agent that could save the Klingons from dying. He does so,and even developes a bity of a forehead ridge.

The friendly Klingon Doctor who had been helping Phlox
looks very human now because of the virus, and he says he might study how to rebuild cranial ridges on Klingons.

He is played quite well by actor John Schuck,who had also played a Klingon in " Star trek 4 : The Voyage Home."

Antaak says the virus is the worst threat to the Klingon Empire since the Hurq invasion. This is a reference to the DS9 episode "The Sword of Kahless," in which we learn the Hurq were a galactic power that conquered the Klingon homeworld about 1,000 years ago, plundering its treasures, including the sacred sword. The Klingons, true to their warrior nature, rebelled and cast away the Hurq, which is the Klingon word for "outsider." The Klingons probably stole the Hurq's technology, thereby acquiring warp drive and becoming a spacefaring empire (their lack of scientific initiative might explain why Klingon technology doesn't advance much in the 200 years between ENT and TNG, and likely hasn't changed much in the previous 500 to 1000 years, either).

I like this two part very much, and the fact that we get more insight into the nature of the Klingons.


I give all 4 episodes 11 stars!
