Civilization

Episode Name: Civilization
Series: Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1
Rating: Three and a Half Spaceship

Mission Briefing:
Captain Archer and Co. discover a M-Class (I believe that's what it's called every other Star Trek series) planet, one with a thriving civilization! They're pre-industry (sp?; Middle Ages like), but Archer and a team go down to study the planet up close & personal.
But they discover a mystery... one that deals with a different set of aliens!

Mission Report:
Now this is more like it! The story was good, it had some action, and some mystery. And I think it's the return of an old enemy... more likely, an alien species that's similar.
Archer was kind of dumb... that was dangerous going down to a planet too early! If their secret got out, the reaction might have equaled a nuclear war in destructiveness! Warp drive might be too long to wait, however... it depends on the species. Personal opinion, as well as my thought that if a different alien species is playing around with the species, it was probably a good idea to jump in and interfere to stop them (as long as they kept their secret and/or tried), but Archer's original reasons... I don't think that was very safe.
It was nice to see a good episode again.
This is also an episode where I believe that we see T'Pol act the most human she's ever done. It was during the space-battle. I just personally felt that her decisions and actions were more human than the emotionless Vulcan. And I'm not sure how logical "giving them back the generator" was. Thinking back, I can see where there's good acting here. Usually, the actor has to act like an emotionless Vulcan. But here, where T'Pol's a little more "human", the acting was still good and believable, so that I felt like it was T'Pol  who was acting more human. Thumbs up for the actor who plays T'Pol! And it was just cool seeing T'Pol act more human like usual (she still acted Vulcan, but comparatively, it was more human than usual).
The story was pretty well-done, though it could stand some tweaking. The enjoyment level was better than Breaking The Ice,  but it wasn't enough for the four-Spaceship rating. It was still enjoyable and pretty good, as well as done pretty good (though a little tweaking needed).
This episode could be tweaked a little more, but it was pretty good overall.
