Am I the only one that likes the nazi time travel episode

[Voth commando1]

So the beginning of season 4-the whole Nazi time travel two parter received criticism.

I actually enjoyed it? Did anyone else?

 

[Nerys Myk]

It wasn't horrible.

 

[DonIago]

It wasn't great.

I wish the Temporal Cold War had erased them so we had two more episodes for Manny Coto and friends to play with. It was better than watching static for two hours.

I am a sucker for time traveling Nazi aliens with red eyes............

 

[F. King Daniel]

I liked it!

I must admit, I was surprised it ended after 2 episodes. Following the Xindi mission, I thought the whole season was going to be about them fixing WWII and getting back to the future.

 

[DonIago]

I am relieved beyond measure that it wasn't.

Yes, it was no worse than the other Nazi episode from TOS. At least the ENT ones looked like aliens rather than a bunch of Aryan looking folks from Smallville, USA.

a bunch of Aryan looking folks from Smallville, USA.

Those are the really scary ones!

It was fun. Here's an interesting tidbit:

This SS dude is played by J. Paul Boehmer. You may remember him from such episodes as...

Voyager "The Killing Game" playing as "Holographic SS dude"

Voyager "Drone" playing as 29th century Borg dude

Deep Space Nine "Tacking into the Wind" playing "We got your back, Damar" dude.
And my personal favorite

Enterprise "Carbon Creek" playing as "I Love Lucy, Baseball, and single Mothers" Vulcan Guy. He's so good in this episode!

Finishing the season 3 arc with the Nazi time travel two-parter seemed an odd wrap-up to me. Having said that the episodes weren't horrible, they just weren't high on my list of ST:ENT episodes.

 

[Jedi Marso]

No, I didn't like it. At that point I never wanted to see time travel in ENT again. I interpreted it a big F-U from the outgoing team.

 

[Markonian]

I enjoyed it but it's definitely among the weirdest instalments of Trek. The bald, uniformed Na'kuhl are kinda hot. They reappear in STO big time.

My favourite sequence is the battle between Enterprise and the Na'kuhl Ju-52 dive bombers. My grampa had an "Auntie Ju".

 

[JonVP]

I liked the episode, but as others mentioned before me, it didn’t seem to mesh well with the story told in season 3. That season was all about finding the Xindi and stopping them from destroying Earth. Of course they had to find a way to resolve the whole TCW arc and they had only one season left.

Maybe they could have saved that two parter for the show’s finale (since the pilot episode Broken Bow started the whole time travel shenanigans, making full circle)?

 

[BillJ]

I loved them. It had been a long time since Trek threw everyone a fun curveball.

 

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

No, I didn't like it. At that point I never wanted to see time travel in ENT again. I interpreted it a big F-U from the outgoing team.

My patience had already worn thin with the really-kewl-idea-but-the-writers-had-no-idea-how-to-make-it-work Temporal Cold War mess they kept flailing away at. When the beady-eyed Nazis From SPAAAAAAAAACE(!) popped up, I gave up on the show entirely.

 

[Farscape One]

I liked it for one thing... it FINALLY put to rest the whole Temporal Cold War arc. It should never have been in the series to begin with.

I am eternally grateful to Manny Coto for doing that so we can get a great season 4.

 

[Paradise City]

Whenever I see a "Nazi" episode in one of these shows, I always think of the writers sitting around in their brainstormin' sessions, room dominated by an uncomfortable, pregnant pause, with some of them tapping their pencils with exaggerated expressions of thoughtfulness and then one little writer pipes up to break this collective bout of "cliffhanger block" and triumphantly says.....".why not do a Nazi episode!!!!"

And everybody else goes: "yeeeahhhh!!"

 

[Green]

I thought it was garbage.
And it had location shooting and a larger budget --so a waste all around.

 

[a thousand-yard stare]

Cheesy episodes but 'Trek' wouldn't be the same without Nazis making an appearance. Worth it seeing John Fleck signing off as Silik.
