Reviewing Enterprise
Just started rewatching Enterprise from episode one. Thought i might make comments as i go along. Im gonna do a string of thought running commentary.
I remember being totally against enterprise at the beginning. It wasnt until the Xindi arc that i really got into the show and caught up on what id missed. It was very different from the other treks and i thot it was a part of that OMG PREQUILZ R LEET fad of the start of the decade. In hindsight this is prolly my favorite of the treks. Its the only one i shelled out $100+ for the seasons at full price, although ive started on Voyager now which is cheaper (40$ ish on amazon?) I remember being sad when it went off the air and thinking about how this show really was about Archer and the formation of the Federation. So here we go...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Broken Bow: Forgot what jerks the Vulcans were, also forgot how similar humans of that century were to present day humans. Its a nice touch i think. haha, Trip is such a hick at the beginning. XD Those humans sure are proud of their warp 5 ship. Its pretty funny the first contact with klingons was a farmer shooting one in the chest. Vulcans think we smell, i sorta remember tuvok thinking that about Neelix.
The admiral is cool, nice to see Cochrane again. Nice launch scene. Ohh the helix and the first appearance of future guy. I like Phlox's critters. OPTIMISM! Ahh dinner with the captain! The big three are together in what i think becomes a trademark of the series. Captains mess. They are right, humanity did go far in only a century. War, hunger and disease are gone. I think they vulcans are just pissed cuz they want everyone to be like them.
Stoned klings are funny XD The suliban pwned enterprise in their first attack. Im interpeting Suliban and the temporal cold wars as Taliban and a trekky euphenism for the war on terror. Archer really has a grudge against vulcans at the start. Such tension between trip and Tpol, u can just tell that theyre gonna scromp right from the beginning.
SHUTTLEPODS! Soo tiny and helpless, especially compared to runabouts and the delta flier. But i guess thats not relly a fair comparison with 200 yrs between em. Naked blue and purple butterfly eating girls = win. First contact with the Rigellians! "Theres plenty of people right here" Suliban ambush! "Better be careful im alot bigger tha u are" lol. Sarin totally Kirked him! I liked how Archer was all HUH? to the temporal cold war exposition, lol.
Tpol tried to sheild Archer then archer got shot saving her. Hmmm... /bonding
Gratitious decong jel rubbign scene. God i love this part. I am totally the target demographic of this series, lawl. First appearance of the Osmotic Eel, the true star of the show. EEL THERAPY. Archer is all O.o and Tpols change of heart while she was in command.
Scanning the gas giant for warp trails. Let me just say here that i played a console startrek game and the following the warp trails part was the lamest thing ive ever done. Havent played it since, lol. I wonder what would have happened if the klingon empire would have fractured? Woulda not been able to stand united against the romulans i bet.
The helix: aggregate structure made up of hundreds of little ships. Thats new, never seen that b4. Transported "weve come to far to risk bringing him back inside out" ROFL they sound like mcCoy. Nice aim with the grapplers. Man those little... ball ships pack a punch. The high command will hold her responsible if they die? Hmmm, excuse? PHASE PISTOLS! Nice closeup of the helix. This is the first of Archers attempts to sacrifice himself. Thats a crapton of ships drifting away. Good ear on Hoshi. Firing phasers in the time-room is a bad idea.
Interesting Tpols willingness to sacrifice Archer to preserve Archers mission. Trip talks her out of it, Archers all WTF at being transported. XD Sillik got aggro when Archer mentioned the TCW. First humans on Kronos, the Klingons didnt seem impressed. Hiding a message in a couriers DNA, very sneeky you klingons. "Lets hope thats the last time somebody takes a shot at us!" Lawl.
Archer makes up with Tpol, invites her to stay and help him get over his grudges. Crews pretty happy to start their mission early. And the journey begins.

Well thats what i though on Broken Bow, next up Fight or Flight.

Looked up the planet on google cuz i thot i remembered it from TNG and for sure. Archer IV, named after him. Guess they found a cure for the pollen in the next couple hundred years. 
The series really gets going with "The Andorian Incident" and "Breaking the Ice".
