i thought it was better than 3. which in turn was better than 5. danmed odd-number trek movies. of course, i though that all the next-gen movies basically sucked, even the borg one that had some fun action in it (tho it was better than the other two odd-numbered next-gen movies). tried and true, there has not been a single good odd-numbered trek movie. which means that we may be due for a good one soon..

It was a good episode. I liked the spindily aliens, they were kind of different from the usual trek far. At the beginning, I thought they might have been Romulans or something because of the ship design.

It's kinda funny, with all this low-tech, I keep feeling that they have paper-thin armor and their default-config 'phase cannons' are the galactic equivalent of throwing rocks at a tank.

Great episode, though. I really do like the fact that they come across all these aliens and that Starfleet ain't nowhere near the big fish in the pond yet. I wonder if they're going to be trading/upgrading their gear as time passes. It'd be cool to come back home with a totally modded Enterprise -- something Voyager failed to do.

Those aliens looked like streched out Mars Attacks aliens.

I enjoyed the side story but the main one was a little week.

A-Team in space where the enterprise is not only the barn but the van as well.

The character development is coming along nicely.

I love how they changed their pathetic beam weapon into a wave motion gun. Why don't my SEIV crews ever think to do that?

The only problem I had with the episode was: Why in the world did Archer and the chief engineer and the weapons officer not realize before now that installing the phase cannons just might possibly be a good idea? Helloooooo??? Guess Star Fleet Academy got better over time. I can't imagine the likes of Kirk, Scotty, Jordi, Miles, or Warf letting neat toys like that sit in a cargo bay.

I don't remember them having beam weapons (except for maybe the first episode, they keep trying those darn torpedos), so it looked like a new installation. Somewhere in here it sounds more like a debate as to whether the Enterprise crew has Energy Stream or Energy Pulse weapons (I go with Energy Stream).

Pretty good episode, I like how they struggled to find out what the favorite food of the security officer was. The main plot wasn't too bad..I liked how right after punching through the shields I was jumping up and down yelling "Fire the torpedos! Fire the torpedos NOW!"

(Yes, I am a loser)

Captain Kwok- I thought these were Romulans too, since the Enterprise initially couldn't scan them. And the look of them.
