"Enterprise finds itself aligned with a terrorist group when Trip and Archer are forced to cross many kilometers (miles to us normal people) of desert on an alien world"
Enterprise saves a ship in distress. The captain (aka the voice of Mr. Krabbs .. for real) invites them to his planet for dinner. It’s a desert planet and Trip starts complaining that he hates the desert. Isn’t he from Texas?? First of all, Archer is constantly referring to people as aliens, but right to their face. Wouldn’t they kind of be offended? But anyway, this alien dude is obnoxiously overly hospitable. It’s ridiculous. And with good reason, he’s really a terrorist that wants Archer to help them…overthrow the government?? Something like that. Trip nearly dies from heat stroke. They both nearly die from a bomb. They get saved and for once Archer doesn’t interfere.
Here’s the thing. They play lacrosse. I’m not kidding. It takes up a good 10 minutes of the episode too. Evidently this race not only evolved to look exactly like humans but they also invented the exact same unpopular game. With the same weird nets on a stick. Evidently the writer for this show must have gone to Duke or something.
When this alien guy first appears in the episode, I noticed how his style of dress was very similar to a Jedi. Then they go to his planet and it looks exactly like Tatooine. Which got me thinking … they should do a crossover. It could be pretty cool … but most likely it would be a disaster.
Another thing, I forgot to mention something from last episode. There’s a scene in which engineering catches fire and they put the fire out with a modern day fire extinguisher. Really??
Another thing from last episode I forgot to mention was that they had been on the way to shore leave planet Risa … this plot is evidently continued onto this episode … and seeing how they still never get there I suspect it will carry into next episode. Right now I'm listening to Jim Croce, how depressing!

Sexxxxxy photo!!! Also I guess in the future people play unpopular games?
Wouldn't they play a brand new stupid futuristic game like Pyramid Ball from battlestar galactica?
And star trek can't cross over!!! Star wars takes place long ago!! And star trek takes place in the future. IDW has new comic where star trek meets legion of superheroes !!! Can't wait!!
Anything is possible in the star trek universe.
well star trek met X-Men right???
E.T's race appears in the galactic senate scene in Star Wars Phantom Menace.
E.T comes to Earth and on Earth Star Wars is a fictional movie!!! (ET wears a yoda mask!!)
and also in E.T. a kid quotes kirk and says "beam me up"
so Star Trek is also fictional in E.T.!!!!
so my theory is that E.T came to earth and told george Lucas about the real life star wars that the movie is based on.
also he met Gene Roddenberry and told him about the real life star trek!
(as he also time travelled into the future with Marty McFly)
I really need to start watching these again. I have no memory of this episode. Judging from the picture, it looks as though it was based on the volleyball scene from Top Gun.
my problem with Enterprise was that it had a LOT of filler!!!
those rub down scenes lasted like 14 mins an episode. and now endless sport scenes!?!
14 mins is a long time on tv, its longer than your average adult swim program.
speaking of...capt.janeway appears on a new adult swim show. She's pretty funny actually , the show thats all initials.
That picture is the scene of them playing lacrosse, shirtless in the sand. For way too long.
