Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first appearance of the Axanar, a species mentioned but not seen in Court Martial (1967) and Whom Gods Destroy (1969). They went on to appear only once more, in the form of a corpse in Dead Stop (2002).
- GoofsWhen the Enterprise crew re-board the Axanar ship to figure out the language, Hoshi says it sounds 'bimodal'. Bimodal bilingualism refers to an individual or community's bilingual competency in at least one oral language and at least one sign language - oral and sign so for any language to 'sound bimodal' is impossible.
- Quotes
Ensign Hoshi Sato: [on "Sluggo"] I shouldn't have brought her on board. Maybe I could ask the Captain to try to find a planet with an argon-rich atmosphere.
Dr. Phlox: It might be easier just to feed her to my bat.

Featured review
Poor Female Representation
The story is decent and back to the basics of Star Trek. The series is still at the point of getting to know the characters, so that will probably be the primary focus early in season one. Unfortunately, it is already clear that the representation of women in this series is taking some huge steps back from Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Voyager.
After seeing some very strong female characters in the previous two Star Trek series (Captain Janeway, 7 of 9, Torres, Jadzia Dax, Kira, etc.), Enterprise appears ready to go back to the weak female characters (with the possible exception of Uhura) in the original series. Yes, Enterprise does take place prior to the events of the original series, but it is still set in the future and one would hope that female characters would be depicted in a much more positive light.
With all the males being characterized as brave and curious adventure seekers, T'Pol has been limited to being a killjoy. Hoshi is whining and complaining about everything, even the location of her room, is on a space mission in spite of being claustrophobic, and is unsure about her own profession. She is given some confidence but only after the encouragement of male characters. Her screaming upon boarding the alien ship was more appropriate for a teen slasher film then for a Star Trek series.
For its time, the original series had some fairly positive and strong women. The Next Generation took that a step further and Deep Space Nine and Voyager did an excellent job of it. Hopefully, as Enterprise evolves, it will get back on that trend.
