The best episode of the series so far, in my opinion. The episode begins with Degra (the mastermind behind the weapon) and Archer racing through space in an escape pod. They are being hunted down by Xindi reptiles. This is odd because Archer and Degra are enemies. So what the hell is going on! Well, it's been 5 years and Earth is destroyed, but in addition the Xindi reptiles have enslaved the Xindi humans. Degra and Archer had been in a prisons together. They have just escaped. Degra wakes up very confused because he has supposedly been hit on the head or something. Long story short, Archer gets Degra talking and he reveals past information about the super weapon. Ahh, except it is not past ...; it is present. Unknown to Degra they have been in a simulation pod on the Enterprise the entire time! Well done. It was a great episode despite the many flaws. such as: why would the Xindi reptiles enslave Degra and Archer and not just kill them and did Archer really have to set up this elaborate ruse in order to get Degra to talk??

Oh yeah. I remember this one. Sort of a neat concept in theory. I'm sure there were some strange particulars to it that made no sense.
This is one of those episodes where the show got too clever for its own good.
Yeah because It was a good episode, but if you really think about it the entire premise is ludicrous.
The problem with season 3 is that it feels like the producers accidentally lost all of their scripts, so they just decided to film a bunch of fan fiction stories they found online. I'm surprised there aren't more scenes where Travis and Trip have sex.
heh heh, this is true. I wonder if people actually bothered to write gay Enterprise fan fiction. I'm worn out on Kirk bangs Spock.
