"Enterprise snags a cloaked mine and Reed and Archer race to disable it during first contact with the Romulans."
This episode was billed as the first contact between humans and Romulans. Very exciting right? Unfortunately they never show them!! You see the ship, you hear their voice, but you NEVER SEE THEM. Lame. So if this is the first contact with Romulans and the first contact with Vulcans (2nd actually?) happened in the 21st century ... then how the hell does the Romans have a god named Vulcan and a mythological figure named Romulus??? I'm sure this is explained somewhere because Trek rarely leaves loose ends. I just assumed that ancient aliens was the explanations. .... also this show is fake :(
I always thought that the Vulcans and Romulans had been enemies forever, but evidently at this point in time the Vulcans have only heard of them. The episode begins with Archer trying to have breakfast with Malcolm, but Malcolm is so weird and awkward. He’s easily the worst character in Star Trek history.
The Enterprise entered a cloaked minefield and one of the mines gets stuck to the ship. Malcolm does an old school space walk and tries to defuse the bomb. The mine activates a spike thing and it goes through Malcolms leg and into the Enterprise thus tethering him to the ship. The Romulans show up and say Leave or Die. Archer goes out and tries to help Malcolm defuse the bomb and get him unstuck. He fails and all seems hopeless. Malcolm says to cut the entire panel off the ship and just let him die in space. Why risk the entire ship. At one point he unplugs his air and begins to die. And I must admit that I was like “oh good, they’re killing him off”. Then Archer saves him! Oh well. You know sometimes they kill off a character and your kind of bummed out by it, well I actually was looking forward to him being dead. …. I actually can’t remember how they got the mine off of the ship. And I just watched the damn episode too.

69 episodes left!!! Wahoooooo!
Maybe Vulcan and romolus are just translations into English from vulcanese?! It's just close approximation

The original series episode Balance of Terror details the first real meeting between the Romulans and the Federation, so it makes sense that at this point they had only the most limited of contact. Of course, considering that original series episode, it would've made more sense just to forgo the Romulans entirely for Enterprise, but whatever.
As for this episode, I liked it ok. I remember thinking it was pretty good. Then again, I always liked Reed. I fully understand that he's a lame character and the actor is super annoying, but he always cracks me up. I love how he has the most ridiculous, stereotypical, phoney baloney British accent ever... and yet that's actually the real actor's accent!
Its like in new comics where they constantly retell older stories but its not as good.
Oh you think you know how they met the romulans? well Everything you Know is WRONG!
or how the vulcans first came to Earth
or who taught Dr.Doom magic?
or whatever
Its kind of annoying
I think Malcolm is a total social mess, much like me. That's why i hate him.
