"DEMONS" is exorcized! Racism has taken a new form, it's no longer prejudice against other human beings, it's prejudice against aliens (from other planets). A group of these new types of racists is trying to take over and drive the aliens away! That's not generic!

"Acquisition." What other episode contains so much unsubtitled alien dialogue? And fortunately it is unique in terms of Ferengi appearances on Enterprise.

SHOCKWAVE, PART II burnt at the microwave. Who can forget the famous "Gazelle Speech"? ( Well, it is not the best, intelligent, heroic whatsoever speech that we have, but also not the worst, imho. Why all the hate, can anyone clarify to me? ) And we witnessed first time an open confrontation between a Vulcan and Vulcan High Command in an issue about humanity. And if I am correct, we see first time T'Pol at her silk pajamas.

"CHOSEN REALM" is refused. Religious extremists that blow themselves up, is unfortunately all too familiar in real life... Enterprise's data and especially Archer's logs need better protection. I mean if some backward nutball can hack it in a few minutes... you're definitely not doing a good job of it. Well, definitely not generic!

"Fallen Hero" Fionnula Flanagan is a treasure of an actress. This entire episode is a showcase for a guest role played by Fionnula Flanagan. This episode is TERRIBLE.

In finding a BAD use for Fionnula Flanagan, this episode is not only unique to Trek, but possibly to the entertainment industry as a whole.

(Seriously, it's hard to even understand how one can be A. employed as a professional writer, and B. write a script that is so bad even Fionnula Flanagan cannot save it. "Dax" over on DS9 is a garbage ep that jumps to life when we get to her role. Her appearance as Data's mother elevates "Inheritance" to the best of TNG's "long lost family member" episodes. The woman is so talented!)

"MINEFIELD" is defused. First encounter with the Romulans, first time Enterprise is seriously damaged. Some Reed character development. Also the first time he voices his disapproval of Archer's style of command. That's a lot of firsts! Definitely not generic!

"First Flight" wanders off into a backstory tangent flashback, that's very distinct from the main series narrative.

"OASIS" is desertified. The most sophisticated holograms encountered in the series (EMH level!). Remarquable that it never occurs to anyone on Enterprise to ask the secret of those holograms... Sure why not... About as convincing as the borg forgetting to introduce themselves before their assimilation message or the Ferengi never called the "Ferengi". So natural!!!

May I please here say something? You say this episode is terrible, but you give no reason, why this episode should be bad. Except TATV, which is chosen worst ST episode ever, we cannot say so easy "This episode is bad.Period!" imho. Every episode of ST or ENT has its fans and haters . I am sure there is so many people out there who love, really really love the episode and believe me there is also people who believe Ms Flanagan is a terrible, untalented actress. I would pick the episode for another (and for good) reasons, but only my opinion about the episode is not enough to call it generic or not generic. So, I said what I want to say and I am quiet again.

STIGMA should not be stigmatize and we should talk out. So far I know, it is the only (or sure the first) ENT episode which is written for a campaign. I remember a Braga and Blalock interview and they are talking about that how this episode should support the Viacom's HIV awareness campaign. I found it is a little bit dull, when I compare the episode with TNG's great "Chain of Command" which they work with Amnesty International.
Well, not to forget we meet first time another Denobulan other than Phlox and learn about their love life. And poor Trip is sexual assaulted from a female alien, again. And we learn Vulcan society is more unenlightened as we ever dream. Very good prequel arc for the forth seasons Vulcan Trilogy.

"PROVING GROUND" is refuted. First time we see the blue guys in the expanse! First time Archer punches Shran! First time we see a smaller version of the weapon work. That's not generic, is it?

"STRANGE NEW WORLD." Everything starts out fine on the away mission, but one by one, the away team starts seeing things that aren't there, and slowly going bonkers (except T'Pol of course). Definitely not the status quo.

"EXILE" is reintegrated. An ugly alien falls in love with a member of the crew, appears as a prettier version of themselves, threatens to destroy the ship if the said member refuses to stay... Sounds like deja vu ("Alter Ego") but not in this series.

"DIVERGENCE" goes on a different path. We have never seen two ships do that kind of maneuver at warp before, and we get the full explanation about the Klingon foreheads.

"STRATAGEM" gets a tactical retreat. As anyone who's seen the episode and is not an extraterrestrial knows... It's a Mission Impossible plot transposed to Enterprise (In fact I think they did one exactly like it, except that it was in a submarine!). However, it's the only one like that.

A weaselly alien has info that Archer needs. So Archer brings him to... a tribunal? Presided over by... wait, Judicial Administrator T'Pol? Archer seems quite terrified by her-- with good cause, since she strongly implies that the weasel might not survive the tribunal unless he cooperates.

This certainly does not seem like our Archer and T'Pol. But of course this is a fakeout to get the weasel to spill. And it's by far the best scene of "PRECIOUS CARGO," which is not saying much, lol, but it's one of my fave scenes of the series.

"EXTINCTION" is confirmed. Archer et al. are turned into alien brutes (behavior, table manners, xenophobia...), that we're supposed to believe are the representants of an ancient very clever people. It takes Phlox about two minutes to find a cure to that millennia-old problem (he was probably tired from the previous mission which slowed him down a little). Archer in an act of unfortunately not uncommon stupidity decides to keep around a vial of the fast-acting virus. I mean it's not like Enterprise is sometimes fired at and things get broken, is it?

THE BREACH is hurt and broken. We learn new facts about Denobulan history and anatomy, even Phlox's family. Travis is definitely a terrible climber and he does not know that he is; second try, second damage. We have again great moral questions about patient rights, racism, prejudice, genocide and trauma of following generations from both sides. Heavy stuff. Well, if all these not enough to make this episode non-generic, best one comes at last: We have tribbles and Phlox knows how to handle with them! Hey, we have tribbles! Not, generic!

"VANISHING POINT" has... vanished. Except for the teaser and the end, the entire episode takes place inside the matter stream of a transporter.
