Star Trek Enterprise Marathon Part 14

Star Trek Enterprise Marathon Part 14
Season 2 Disk 7

Bounty
Archer is captured by a Tellarite bounty hunter and has to make his escape
before being handed back to the Klingons. Meanwhile T'Pol is going though
Pon Farr brought on by a contagion and she is locked in decon with Phlox,
gel and hormones ahoy.
I'm not totally happy with a Vulcan female going through Pon Farr and the
gel/decon scenes tend to be a little cringe worthy, nice bounty hunter story
but embarrassingly bad how easily Archer was taken.

The Expanse
A surprise attack on the Earth leaves millions dead and the temporal cold
war really impacts on this part of the galaxy, Enterprise heads towards an
area of space known as the Expanse normally avoided by space faring
races but that is where the instigators of the attack reside. The Klingons
throw a wrench into the plans as Durass is keen to regain his honour.
An excellent season finale, the Klingon arc has been nicely handled and the
temporal war is now serious. I can't help but think the gouge in the Earth would
have been more fitting in Iowa or the Enterprise (2009) built in Florida.

Season 2 wasn't really a step up for the series, it wasn't a backwards step either but
maybe feels less than because you expect more from the second year. That said a
lot of the groundwork has now been laid down which allows the uber arc driven
third season to grow as there is less time for one off character/action pieces.
A nice bunch of extras on the final disk especially the interview with Jolene and Levar.
Roll on the Xindi.

First part of an awesome trilogy.

Kansas
With insights gleaned from the avatar John creates a wormhole back to Earth in
search of the anomaly that could destroy his timeline and then in true Back to the
Future mode he has to save himself and get the right girl:)
Phenomenally good episode.

Terra Firma
John and friends return to Earth but this time after his initial departure, the US
government embrace the crew of Moya but tensions soon appear and truths revealed.
A fantastic trilogy of episdoes, some of the best time travel/alternate reality scifi on tv.

Twice Shy
Chiana buys/frees a slave from traders but gets a lot more than she bargained for.

Mental As Anything
The boys go to a mental training facitily in the hopes of learning skills which will keep
