Somewhere In The Delphic Expanse... Archer: Go to Warp Two. T'Pol: Captain, sensors picked up an object underneath us as we jumped to warp. Archer: Can somebody identify it? Trip: Captain, it appears we jumped to warp over... a shark.
OK, so I had my concerns about the new season of Enterprise. "It's ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds to seek out new life and new civilzations--and kill them!" But, I was willing to give it a chance. As it turns out, though, I would have loved a little bit more in that direction. This was the bold new direction for Enterprise? Archer and Trip getting kidnapped?! How many times in two seasons have they done the "two crew members get kidnapped"-style episode. When you add in the ones where their stranded instead of kidnapped, it's got to be well over half of the shows. For that matter, how many shows have they done just where Archer and Trip are kidnapped? I was expecting the Xindi war to be the dominant story arc for the season opener. Instead, we get, "It's just like that other episode where Archer and Trip are kidnapped and put to work, except there's like a war or something that people talk about sometimes." The worst part is, the whole kidnapped crewmember story has been done much, much better several times. I'm not saying I'm giving up, I'm just going to be lowering my expectation fields as we continue through the Delphic expanse.
