V'ger Please!

The true series finale of Enterprise is here as we review "Terra Prime"! Everyone has plot as RoboCop tries to stay winning,Trip gets the head wounds, Hoshi finally commands, Reed returns to Gotham, and Archer takes until the last second to pull off a Classic Captain's Speech Check. There are no Enterprise episodes after this! No sir! What a satisfying...wait...oh no.

The true grand finale of Enterprise begins as we review "Demons"! It's nothing but jam packed excellence as Peter Weller does the best bad guy monologues, Travis gets laid, and Trip and T'Pol attempt the most ill-advised infiltration of all time!

It's all fun and games until its time for the hallway knife fights as we review "In the Mirror, Darkly Part 2"! We get more of everything we loved - abs, Simon Mayweather Phoenix, awesome TOS sets, Mirror Universe scene chewing, more abs, you name it! We also get more of Archer being an evil dweeb, but at least he evaporates a guy! 

We arrive at what are likely the most famous and best regarded Enterprise episodes as we at last review "In A Mirror, Darkly"! We have our good pal Ian bust out a whole know theme song for the occasion as we hit all the highlights. For no particular reason we get the awesome nasty versions of our heroes, Jolene's abs getting their moment in the sun, bad haircuts all around, Mayweather as Simon Phoenix, Linda Park spending most of the episode without clothes on, and the deepest Trek continuity cuts you can imagine. This rules, so get in here!

We are warping right into the Red Light District as we review the very peak Sexy Alien Lady tropes as we review "Bound"! When The NX-01 gets back to doing random space stuff one last time, Archer runs into the very finest Space Hottie train in all the galaxy. Turns out it's a pretty cool episode about how Orion women use overwhelming sexual power to be space pirates, but you may not your kids around as you watch it. 

It's a densely packed hour over here as we review "Divergence"! This one has it all - maybe too much - as Trip has to jump trains to restart the router, Phlox decided to bioweapon everyone, Archer shows up to get juiced on Klingon super blood, AND STILL MORE! We also start to have the conversation every Trek fan must - what is with this Section 31 stuff anyway?

What is hopefully your favorite podcast talks about a lot of things this week, because we only had the second half of "Affliction"to go over. Great episode, Reed is somehow interesting for a change, the Trip/T'Pol gets real weird real fast, bust mostly we ramble about Deus Ex, Voyager episodes, and even AI a little bit. Give it a listen! 

The boys take their time with quality as we review the first half of "Affliction"! This week, we reflect on Gary Graham (RIP) and his Trek contributions, the retro-continuity to fix a Voltaire lyric turning into solid gold, James Avery being the best guest star, and Phlox being incredulous for all of us. 

Come enjoy Andoria in summer as we review "The Aenar"! Jeff Combs gives us one last taste of Shran greatness as he and Archer go on a zany funhouse adventure, the Romulan Primogen tries to set a record for L's, and Trip has a case of the sad boi. 

The political intrigue and ritualistic knife fighting heats up as we review "United"! When Archer tries to get everyone to act like adults so they can deal with the Romulan CIA Drones, Shran goes full goblin mode, Travis has hidden talents, and we manage not to hate Reed (for once). 

It's the shifty antagonists you always need to have show up eventually as we review "Babel One"! When the Romulan/Brujah Primogen starts drone striking a few too many weddings, can Archer make his Diplomacy skill check? Meanwhile, we also review "Godzilla Minus One" and ask if you want us to review....Kindred: The Embraced? 

We review the alpha and the omega of bottle episodes in the form of "Observer Effect"! The producers remember they should probably have Hoshi and Mayweather do some things while the save every dollar they can. Thankfully, it turns out a lot of good actors work on this show! 

It's the episode straight from Peter's darkest industrial accident dreams as we review "Daedalus"! When the Enterprise has on-board the creator of the transporter, horrifying hyjinks ensue as ensigns lose their face, the transporter is confirmed for being a soul elimination device, and the main guest star forgot how to act. 

Nothing like a little torture between friends as we review "Kir'Shara". When Jeffery Combs shows up, you know it's the good stuff as Shran and Soval have some personal time, Archer and T'Pol put on a sweet holographic display, and Koss comes through as too good for his wife anyway. 

The political intrigue only gets more complex as we review "Awakening"! While Archer achieves levels of head trauma no human could dream of as Vulcan Jesus chills out in his brain, Trip tries not to moops his way into interstellar war and Vulcans are blind to hallways. 

This mid science fiction show we were watching suddenly turns into a tight political thriller as we review "The Forge". All those promises to Peter for the good Vulcan content pays off in spades as the Earth embassy gets bomber by Detective Guilty and Archer is on the case!

We finally manage to do a whole Season 4 episode in one go as we review "The Augments"! It's tragic endings all around as we get more jailbreaks, Adam Smasher going full madman, and the most uncomfortable bedroom scene in Trek history.

We enjoy everyone going into Maximum Actor Mode as we finish our review of "Cold Station 12". Compelling drama swirls around us as we see the Nerfed MACOs get punked again, Dr. Soongchez realizes he goofed, and Archer tries to get himself killed twice. 

Your hosts continue to explore the depths of every moment of this suddenly high quality television program as we start our review of "Cold Station 12"! Between the high stakes drama and careful plotting there is very little to criticize, but it does beg one clear question - could have the early 2000's handled Bisexual Phlox? 

We try to use all the Enterprise Season 4 buffalo as we review the second half of "Borderlands"! We get multiple classic jailbreaks, MACOS getting hit with a nerf patch, and Mayweather denied greatness.
