Shadows of J'Pem

Episode Name: Shadows of J'Pem
Series: Star Trek Enterprise, Season 1
Rating: Three and a Half Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Since The Andorian Incident, where monastary/spy post (sp? on 1st one) on J'Pem was discovered, not only has the post been destroyed, but tensions between humans and Vulcans has gotten worse. T'Pol is to reassigned, and she's going along with it! When Archer takes her on a last mission together, they end up captured by a radical group... and things will just get nasty!
Will both of them make it out alive...?

Mission Report:
Most of the episode was so-and-so, with downer points like the awkwardness. And I think that the Vulcan captain was having makeup issues... I don't think Vulcan faces are supposed to be greenish while their hands are normal, or greenish in general, even when they're older.
The characterization was good, however! It's nice to see the Andorians again, with a believable reason. And I think I'm starting to understand and read T'Pol a little better... I could actually somewhat read her! That's impressive, especially with Vulcans! And I saw some good acting as well.
Things got better with the action near the end, but this was not the greatest episode. The story was pretty well-done, with only a few glitches... that I could see, anyway. But this was not the most enjoyable episode.
This is only an okay episode, though it had some good characterization and acting!
