Was watching this earlier and I couldn't help but notice how naive they were when it came to them bringing the ship on board and opening it up and examing it.
I mean there unable to scan inside the ship so they bring it aboard into Shuttle bay 2, no one's there to check it out for any signs of contamination, radiation, etc and who's the first people to set foot, but the Captain and XO. He gives permission for Reed to take a Phase pistol to a piece of the hull to see if they can pry open the hatch, then Archer takes a pry bar (I think that's what it's called) and forces open the hatch. First thing, using the phase pistol could've triggered anything they might not've thought of and second opening the hatch could've released unknown and potentially dangerous gasses and/or bacteria but they went ahead with anyway.
With the whole examination I don't think they were very cautious at all. They could've pressed the wrong button, turned the wrong handle or even stepped on the wrong floor tile and the Enterprise, or all aboard, would've been dead.
I got to say that it was good episode but I think that Archer was lucky that he was on both a "hero" ship and an Enterprise. If it wasn't for that fact they'd probably all be dead.
Do you think they handled the situation badly and they just got lucky or should they have went through proper salvage(?) procedures and went about with caution?
