Acquisition

When the Ferengi, a group of intergalactic thieves, stun the Enterprise crew and try to rob the ship, it's up to Trip to work covertly to stop them.

Trip wakes up T'Pol with a hypospray.

The Ferengi wake up Archer and ask him where he keeps his gold.

At first, Archer denies that there is any gold, but then says there is.


Trip was in decontamination and escaped the nerve gas that knocked the crew out.
He awakens T'Pol. The Ferengi plan to take all the women. They loot the ship of it's armemants, food and medical supplies.

Between Archer, Trip, and T'Pol, they manage to subdue the Ferengi, and make them put all the stolen stuff back, including Porthos, Archer's dog.

Jeffrey Combs, who plays Shran was a Ferengi. So did Clint Howard, Ron Howard's brother, as well as Ethan Philips. Trek fans will best know Ethan Phillps (Ulis) as Neelix on Voyager.

It is supposed to be the very first human ( Or Hu - man ) encounter with the Ferengi.

This one was pretty good.

Clint Howard has the distinction of having played the first alien (other than Spock) to be filmed in a regular episode of Star Trek. He played Balok in "The Corbomite Maneuver".


Oasis

While searching for components to repair Enterprise, crew members encounter ghostly beings aboard a crashed vessel.

The crashed vessel turns out to have 2 living humanoids, and about 20 holographic people. The crew died in a bad crash, leaving only a father and his daughter. The father is the engineer and he blames himself because, during the nasty storm which hit the ship, he left his post to save his daughter, thus enabling the ship to crash.

The girl's father is played by Rene Auberjonois, who played Odo in Deep Space Nine.

This one reminds me of that DS 9 episode where they encounter a holographic town, where all the people are holograms except for one man.


Detained

While exploring a planet, Archer and Mayweather enter a "military zone" and are detained in an internment prison by an alien race called Tandarans, who are at war with the Suliban. While the Enterprise crew's previous encounters with the Suliban have been disastrous, Archer and Mayweather find themselves sharing a cell with some Suliban detainees who they believe may be wrongfully imprisoned.

This is where we learn that not all Suliban are NOT genetically enhanced, and that not all Suliban are warlike. We get to see these Suliban simply as people, trying to get through each day in a miserable place.

By episode's end, the Suliban are freed. Archer could have simply left with Mayweather, once Enterprise had found and communicated with them; however, he rescued the captive Suliban and then left.

That's a pretty cool thing to do.

Vox Sola

A strange, symbiotic alien creature boards the Enterprise capturing a few of the crew members, including Archer and Trip, and cocooning them in its web while feeding off their bodies to survive. With the captured crewmembers' lives in jeopardy, Hoshi, under T'Pol's command, faces her biggest challenge by trying to find a way to communicate with the lifeform in order to return it to its home planet.

This one was great! It was like an old 50's horror movie, the kiond I grew up watching!

Loved it!

And that's Enterprise for this week... I will add that I had not previously seen these episodes, and am very impressed.
