Episode Name: Terra Nova
Series: Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1
Rating: Three Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Captain Archer and his crew head for the planet Terra Nova, to figure out the mystery of a human colony that Earth lost contact with about 70 years ago. They discover the Novans, descendants of the human colonists. They think that they aren't humans, however, and are not the friendliest (though not "let's kill everyone").
That may be a problem when Archer & Co. discover that the Novans are in danger...
Mission Report:
This was only an average episode for me. The story was decently done, though I question the wisdom of the cave-in scenes. They seemed plastered on, though they seemed to have some sort of other purpose.
The enjoyment level was about average. It started getting better near the end, but I did yawn during some parts.
The part I thought that was good was the whole "not-bring-them-to-Earth" discussion. I could see many truths and the like during this episode that was good. The whole think-human-hostile because of young minds seeing adults blame other humans seemed very reasonable and good. I think that that piece of the episode was well-done.
So, all in all, this was only an average episode for me, though I found some of the reasoning used in this show true and well-done.

Unexpected
Episode Name: Unexpected
Series: Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1
Rating: Three Spaceships
Mission Briefing: The Enterprise has been having troubles. When investigated, it’s discovered that a broken spaceship has been hitchhiking them. Trip goes to help. There, he falls in love with an alien girl named Allen (sp?). After three days, Trip leaves. But he gets a nasty surprise after the aliens leave…
He has a baby alien inside of him!
Mission Report: Last sentence is what lost the episode a good deal of points for me. The explanation makes sense (he’s more like a host), but it was awkward! It was a little uncomfy. Other than that, the story was pretty good. It was enjoyable, despite the lack of action and the awkwardness that cut some enjoyment. It included a good scene… a Klingon saying, “I can see my house from here!” That was funny and awesome! Seeing the first holodeck in the series (and most likely, in time-line) was pretty cool too. The story was pretty well-done, but there were some stuff I would have liked explained.
All in all, this was a good episode, but the male pregnancy/host thing was a little too awkward for me, though I started getting used to it by the time it ended.

Strange New World
Episode Name: Strange New World
Series: Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
The Enterprise crew discovers a planet much like Earth, though with no detectable life-forms. A team is sent to check it out, including Trip, Ethan, and T’Pol. They end up spending the night. A nasty windstorm kicks up, so nasty that a pod can’t come and rescue them!
And they need that rescue, because weird things are happening…
Mission Report:
This was a pretty episode overall. The story was good, and it was pretty enjoyable. It wasn’t tops, but it was pretty good overall. And made me wish that they used subtitles more! (). There was a good deal of Vulcan in there, though you don’t have to know the meaning of most of it.
And this shows that chronological order isn’t the great need… this was number 3, and I accidently watched it instead of 2! Here’s a hint for DVD users… the next episode is right of the first one, not below! (If you watch Burn Notice on DVD, the menus are built similar) Still, I was able to watch it and enjoy it. So, at least this episode shows that chronological order isn’t needed for all of them.
This series is doing ten times better than Next Gen! I enjoyed this episode, and I can stay I’m enjoying this series, which is pretty impressive for just having seen two episodes.
This was a pretty good episode too!

Fight Or Flight
Episode Name: Fight Or Flight
Series: Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1
Rating: Three Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Captain Archer and his crew discover a spaceship. But it's not responding at all to them. Archer takes a team aboard, and finds dead bodies being pumped of something. Moral conflicts follow, as Archer tries to decide whether they should leave the bodies be, or to see what else they can do. And Ensign Hoshi, the comm officer, is trying to decide whether or not she should stay.
Either way, things might get bad before the week is out...
Mission Report:
Okay, I was bored during parts of this episode. While the action at the end was good, it wasn't the most enjoyable storyline. The story wasn't badly done, though... It was done pretty well. But this episode will not make my faves list.
This was only a so-so show.

Broken Bow
Episode Name: Broken Bow
Series: Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
The humans are ready to take to the stars. But before the Enterprise NX-01 starship's maiden flight, a Klingon warrior crash-lands in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. He is chased, but manages to take care of them. Unluckily, a human takes care of him (though he stays alive).
After some "arguing" with the Vulcans, Starfleet decides to send Captian Archer of the Enterprise to send Klang (sp?) home. But interference and the kidnapping of Klang causes things to get messed up.
Captain Archer, the Vulcan science officer T'Pol, and the rest of the crew better hang on, cause things could get wild...
Mission Report:
My first official posts of the Star Trek universe on this blog! I am working on the first Season of Next Generation too, but that's only been so-so overall.
Speaking of watching Next Gen too, it's good to have special effects! They were good special effects, even when they were awkward or gross. Even the Enterprise in space and/or in the station and/or atmosphere was cool.
The story wasn't the greatest. But hey, this was just the pilot (warning: double-length!). It was choppy, and not understandable all the time.
But the rest of the episode was pretty good. I heard that the characters are wonderfully done and the acting's wonderful too. I wouldn't be able to tell you if that confirms true or not. I did like Dr. Phlox. He was a great character and the actor was good with that. But I'm not a good judge with how good an actor is or not or how well done a character is, unless it's super-terrible or great. I couldn't quite get T'Pol... but I'll get a chance to learn the other characters.
The episode was mostly just enjoyable. It had good action. And it was just enjoyable.
Next Gen, which is not on this blog, may not be winning points for me, but Enterprise may just be--I know the pilot did! I'll be continuing this series. Let's see if this is what pulls me through to the Star Trek universe.
This was a good episode overall, but watch it more for enjoyment.
