"Religious zealots hijack Enterprise and seek to execute Archer for acts of desecration upon the spheres."
A decent episode, but tough to explain. Hmm, so the crew saves a ship of religious zealots. Archer pretty much risks his life to do so. Once onboard, the religious people somehow figure out that the Enterprise has destroyed one of their sacred spheres. This is punishable by death. So they plant bombs around the ship and threaten to set them off unless Archer chooses one crew member to be executed .... or they could have just chosen one themselves??? Anyway Archer chooses himself. His brilliant plan is to trick these dudes into thinking that the transporter is an execution machine. It works and he is just transported somewhere else on the ship ... blah blah they survive. I swear they have used this religious zealot plot 4 times already.

How are there people in the future who don't know what a transporter is? There's no wikipedia anymore?
I suppose I never thought of that. Didn't they watch Star Trek!
Of all the stuff in Star Trek...transporters seems least likely to work
Wow. That's a surprisingly political sounding plot. Not that I care, since I think all religion is a crock of shit anyway.
