"FUTURE TENSE" is now in the past. I don't think we ever saw a more overt nod to DOCTOR WHO in STAR TREK than with this episode, with the ship being bigger on the inside.

"Vox Sola" is distinct in many ways. That goo alien design is unique. Very few episodes give all 7 regulars significant material like this one does, ENT didn't really do those everyone-gets-a-piece ensemble showcases that TNG pulled out so regularly.

"CANAMAR" is gone. The title of the episode, which was the destination, was never seen. I don't think that ever happened before.

"THE COMMUNICATOR" is incommunicado. Those aliens are incredibly bad shots! They shoot at the five or six members of the crew like a hundred times and even more without a scratch! Plus seriously, they've done far more damage to the society showing up in their cloaked ship than they would have done by leaving a communicator. If someone from fifty years ago opened up a computer from today he would damage it irreparably in about two minutes without learning anything about how it works, it would be even worse with a smartphone!

"DESERT CROSSING" has found a new oasis. It is one of the few episodes that takes place almost entirely on a desert.

"HOME" is where the deer and the antelope play...

Anyway, I was in complete agreement with what the angry Archer said during his debriefing. The Vulcans had been complete assholes during the Xindi crisis, their fleet should have been protecting earth instead of galivanting aimlessly through the galaxy spying on people analyzing comets and crap like that. They had no right to complain about anything. T'pol even had to resign in order to stay with Archer! The ending, on the other hand, was absurd. Why was Earth so anxious to be apologetic to the Vulcans given their apathy during the worst period that Earth had known this far?

 

[sekundant]

I am sorry, but I cannot follow it anymore. Are we picking the episodes which have some unique attributes or someone does something unusual to his/her character? What would be the meaning of last episode for the game?

 

[Farscape One]

Basically, we are eliminating episodes that have something unique to that episode, or happens rarely in the franchise or in that particular series, in this case ENTERPRISE.

The last two episodes remaining are the most generic of the series, meaning its plot, story, characterization, etc., are a dime a dozen. Those two will get a poll going to determine the 'winner' of this game.

Does that clear things up?

 

[sekundant]

Thank you @Farscape One for being a caring host for the thread.

 

[Farscape One]

No problem.

"BOUND" is unbound. A rare look at Orion culture, and we find an ironic twist on who is really in charge.

"TERRA NOVA" is old territory. If only for the kooky idea that cro-magnon like people would keep machine-guns in perfect working order with a load of bullets for SEVENTY YEARS just in case they'd meet with people like Archer et al.

SLEEPING DOGS woken up and run away. Not one of my favorite episode and not an original story but we see IIRC first time a Klingon kitchen and definitely first time a targ pit (even for seconds).

"UNEXPECTED" is foregone. A male mammal made pregnant by a lizardlike female grows nipples on his wrist instead of developing the ones he already has. Apparently, Klingons know that when a guy lifts his shirt to show some kind of growth on his stomach, he's not suffering from an advanced form of skin cancer but he's been made pregnant by some parthenogenetic sort of evolved lizard!!! These Klingons are much smarter than they look!!!

"OBSERVER EFFECT," a prequel to TOS "Errand of Mercy." Reed and Mayweather are definitely not themselves. And a dying Archer makes a plea for the worth of humanity.

My favorite ENT episode.

"DETAINED" is freed. Archer and Mayweather are detained in a Manzanar type of camp. The Sulibans got lucky because they picked "It's Ok to intervene in alien cultures business" week, which as the Valakian know is not every week.

I could not believe SIMILITUDE was still there. It is a very strong episode with very hard ethical questions, moral dilemmas and again Archer and Phlox have to make difficult decisions . Manny Coto makes his tribute as author and not to forget great sound track ( you can here again from http://ent.trekcore.com/audio/ My favorites are " You're All I Think About" and " A Damn Good Son" ). There are too many things which make Similitude unique. My favorite one is: LeVar Burton, who played the TNG's chief engineer Geordi La Forge, directs the episode which is focused fate of ENT's chief engineer. Amazing, isn't it?

"HATCHERY" lays an egg. Archer gets a reversal imprint after being sprayed with some secretion and becomes the creepiest thing you ever saw! Instead of the classic imprint where an animal mostly a bird upon birth becomes convinced that the first thing it sees is its mother, Archer becomes the mother of the eggs and the small insects therein. (BTW, they're not really insects since they have four limbs! ). It's definitely NOT generic! Plus the mutiny against Archer is also unique. Hayes is so blinded by duty and respect of the chain of command that he doesn't realize that Archer has completely lost his mind! Glad he's not the one in charge!

"RAJIIN" vacates this list. She was a living tricorder... that is pretty unique.
