Home - 4.03 - Friday, October 22, 2004
Once the NX-01 finally returns to Earth, the weary crewmen face repercussions of their journeys, both positive and negative.
Wow... another amazing episode!! This had better not be the last season: number four is off to such a great start. ^__^
First off, I think I really noticed both Scott's and Jolene's acting in this episode. They were both excellent... the whole scene on Vulcan was amazing, too. I heard once before that the Vulcan language is based on Japanese, and it looked like their architecture is based loosly on Japan's also. T'Pol's mother was a great character... she has the perfect look for the part!
Hmmm... what else... nice to see Jonathan with a girlfriend. I wonder how long until the NX-02 will be ready for deployment.
I guess Damon's neglectings his duties. I hope I'm not all alone here!
... Mike. ^_^

Sorry about that, Mike. Work's been damn busy and I've been feeling a bit under the weather, to boot. I think this episode was good, but it did feel like it was lacking... something. I agree that Scott and Jolene's acting really shined, but I was hoping we'd get to see more of the other ensemble cast. More and more each week, Enterprise is starting to feel like the Archer, T'Pol, & Trip show, rather than a collective effort. Hoshi barely had one scene in the entire episode; I would have liked to see her go home to her family and how she was dealing with the torture/brainwashing she endured from the Reptilians.
Also, I was disappointed that Phlox didn't stand up against the prejudice and join Malcom and the others after all.
Like I said, it was good... it just didn't feel like the big payoff that it should've been...

No problem at all, Damon, 'twas just a joke. Hope you're feeling better soon!!
You make a good point about Hoshi... I was disappointed to see her in only that one scene. The other Star Trek (minus TOS) shows managed to include all six or seven (or more!) crew members without too much difficulty... I've found that Travis and Hoshi, the lowly ensigns, seem to have been pushed into the background.
I agree that Phlox should have stood up for himself more, but he's a non-confrontational man, I think. I loved how his face blew up like that tho'! As for the dinner, I think he was just frightened of what else could happen... the "xenophobia" Malcolm mentioned might not go away soon.
Oh, and I was glad to see Jonathan make up with that Vulcan ambassador (whose name I forget now!).
... Mike. ^_^
