Finally the season premiere was last night? Did anyone watch it? If not then it is being repeated on Space this Sunday. I won't give it away, but I was disappointed with how "easily" they resolved last years cliff hanger. I did feel bad for T'Pol though - I wonder if she will suffer from some post tramatic stress disorder in a future episode. If not, then they are losing a good acting opportunity for Jolene Blalock!

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed too. Archer's speech at the end was a little...much. I liked the fact that they were getting in fights every other week. That seemed much more realistic.

Oh, well. I guess they had to have a dud sometime or another. I mean, look how bad TNG was its first season. By comparison, Enterprise is Emmy-quality material.

I wasn't real impressed with the episode either. I agree that they should have come up with a more complex solution for the big cliff hanger. It was like "poof" he's back! Well...how the heck did he manage to get back exactly then and there???? Oh well...

I think Jolene Blalock did an excellent job during the interrogation scene. She was really believable. I wasn't impressed with her last season, but she wowed me last night!

I really hope that they allow her to carry forward some "scars" from that interrogation. It would really add to her character!

Oh crap! The irony is that I was watching an old TNG rerun! I hate that every show, every network has fall premieres all over the calendar. What ever happened to the good old days when it all premiered the same week?

Enterprise is the most recent installment in the Star Trek series. It is set about 100 years before the original series and is about the 1st earth based space crew. The is 1 Vulcan on board and there is no such thing as a "federation" yet. It is the early stages of space exporation on Earth's part. Scott Bakula from Quantum Leap fame is Captain Archer

I don't about everyone else - I liked it! I guess I am just very partial to Start Trek any form or way! What I hear is that Archer and T'Pol are going to have a "relationship" - should be interesting.

I'm waiting for a friend to drop the disc round with the new episode on (naughty download off the internet). Ooh I can't wait!

I liked it too, but I have to admit that Archer's return was rather abrupt. It should be an interesting season, hard to imagine a Vulcan getting involved with a human, especially at the stage of "advancement" humans are in the show.

Yay! Saw it. It's been so long that I forgot last season's end was a cliff hanger. Nice to see some action starting out the season. Poor Malcolm, though. I never saw Kirk with a shiner like that one!

LOL, it's amazing how he could get into fights, and show no damage. I guess he had to look good for the ladies.

Kirk aka William Shatner was such a good looking man. Has anyone seen him lately in the Priceline commercials - OMG he looks sooooooo bloated. If I did not know who he was I would not have recognized him. Soooo sad!

Ok, was it just me, or was last night episode a little slow and boring. It just couldn't seem to grab my interest. I thought that Vulcans couldn't /wouldn't lie. T'pol greatgrandmother definately lied.

Yeah, I agree it was slow. I actually walked away and did dishes, coming back every now and then to see what was going on. I did like the end, however, when Archer and Trip thought T'Pol had been pulling their collective legs....and she wasn't.

I thought it was a little slow, but I still enjoyed it. But....what about the fact that they left their crashed vulcan ship out in the woods. They should have done something with it so it wouldn't be discovered. (or did I miss that they destroyed the ship?)

Anyway...I sure do like the fact that they are allowing T'Pol to do a little acting this season. I'm beginning to like her character.

They must have camoflauged the ship as she went back to get the velcro thing before leaving. I am also glad they are developing T'Pol character.

I thought tonight's episode was riveting, from that opening scene explosion til the end. I like how this show is taking a weekly story and creating an opportunity to expand the characters. I remember TNG taking quite a few seasons to do that. I also am glad that this episode remained fathful to original Trek and did NOT actually show the Romulans. I still remember that Kirk and crew were the first to see them and realize that they were related to the Vulcans.

All in all, a thumbs up tonight!
