What's your favorite alien species from Enterprise?

- Start date
There were too many good episodes in season 4 for me to pick a favorite episode. Too bad we didn't get to see a season 5.
You can watch Soval in the fanfilm Axanar which is seemingly maybe almost finished?
He's right in the beginning of this 20 minute trailer (?!) so you can get a Soval fix even if you don't want to watch the whole thing:

You will want more of him.

I wasn't gonna go there, but since YOU did...
Yes, hella HOt!
My favorite Vulcan as well!
And, yes, I did catch him in the Prelude to Axanar!
As for Shran, I had to create this homage to Jeffrey Combs on my Tumblr:
I hadn't even realised he played Weyoun! That was a wonderfully despicable character.
He also played Penk from Voyager, and I'm really pissed off at myself because I only realized that tonight.
I skipped around and didn't watch it all but that looks really interesting.
The Andorians were my favourite species, or one of them, I also liked the Xindi.
Jeffrey Combs was brilliant and I liked that female commander too she was great. They were really well done on the show..

Definitely the Xindi. Shran is fantastic, to be sure, and one of the best things to happen to the franchise. But on the whole, the Xindi win over the Andorians for me because, well, frankly they're cheating. There are indeed six different species and I love, love, love the diversity therein. Star Trek finally gave us highly important sentients that weren't all humanoids. It's understandable why the central focus came down to the most humanoid of the bunch, but just seeing the Aquatics and Insectoids had my jaw on the floor. Wonderful stuff.
For that matter, those one-off antagonists in the first season's "Silent Enemy" are also fantastic, for similar reasons. Man, ENT knew how to make what we'd ultimately come to know as "local space" feel appropriately dangerous several times. And, well, truly alien. One of its finest qualities, I think.
I also love ENT's Vulcans, but that's a pretty dark-horse statement. "Why are they all such arrogant jerks?" Well, maybe it's the fact that I wasn't raised on TOS in particular but rather, all its sequels, but personally I never much cared. And then the fourth-season trilogy came about and sort of steered them back on the proper course anyway, which I thought was really cool.
And the Suliban are also great, but so underutilized. The first season made it clear to me that they were going to be a big deal, but the second season decided to pad things out a bit more than I think people wanted on this front (...on most fronts), and the retooling that ultimately spawned from this situation left them in the dust. I'm happy we at least got Silik back later on, geez.

This was still the early days of Earth and Vulcan's relationship so I cut them slack and their portrayal is exactly how I view this time period. By Kirk's time they are on far more cordial and friendly terms with them. We saw some of that near the end of Enterprise..
Regarding the Xindi was the same costume used for Sarris in Galaxy Quest?
The Aquatic Xindi remind me of aliens in one of the old Trek games, but I can't remember the title.. I always wondered if they were related to whales due to the sounds they made. Maybe they sent the probe that George and Gracie talked to haha.

...Christopher? Greg Cox? David Mack? Kirsten Beyer?
Someone, please, get on this. STAR TREK XINDI: WHALESONG.

Technically not from ENT, but the Andorians and Tellarites. To the series credit, they took these ultra-cheesy aliens from the 60s and made them believable and interesting. They should have tried this earlier in the franchise, they're more interesting than many of the forehead bump humanish aliens we saw in TNG onward.
I love the concept of the Xindi. The idea of multiple intelligent species coevolving on the same planet has always fascinated me. I also wish the Denobulans got more screen time. Phlox was the only character that stuck out to me early in the series. I would love to see more of that society.
I just watched Civilization again, and failed to notice, did they name the species Riann belonged to? I don't remember them ever naming her species.
Also how is it possible that when they were observing the city from orbit they could hear stuff happening on the ground?
