Captain Archer and the crew discover an M-Class or Mirishara class planet full of primitive people. T'Pol tells them they can't go down there and mess around and change the course of their future until they achieve warp speed technology, but then they find a big reactor down there and down they go. Archer falls in love with a pharmacist down there named Riaan, which officially begins a friendly competition between the captains to see which one has the most interstellar relationships. Interestingly enough, T'Pol was a bit jealous, so now I don't know if she is in love with the engineering fella or Archer.
Turns out there are some bad aliens down there posing as natives, but really they are mining some rare mineral, the byproduct of which is making the locals sick.
Archer decides to put a stop to all of this and has to tell Riaan who he really is. Luckily, the crew have this really cool translator thing Hoshi hooked up on their communicators that allows them to understand and speakk the local language. Anyway, there is some trouble, Archer beats up some of the aliens and shoots them "on stun". Tucker mutinies against T'Pol while she is trying to deal with the alien's ship. Enterprise beams up the reactor and T'Pol fires it at the ship then shoots it with its lasers, which brings down the enemy ship's shields and then they leave. Archer sends some meds down to his girlfriend and she cures the locals and promises not to tell anyone about what she's seen. So far I can't really figure out Archer...I keep waiting for Al to bail him out into another life. He certainly isn't Kirk...but then who is? Finally, I am waiting for some Romulans...I thought they had some nice spaceships in the original series.
So far I've still managed to keep up with the current episodes. Of course, it is still summer and there's no real work to do. I am definitely enjoying Enterprise though, and even my sister doesn't seem to mind them too much. She's weird and didn't like the original series because "Its too old and the special effects are fake looking." Oh well, I can't make her like them but I'm glad Enterprise has been approved for our evening family TV watching. Too bad I have to leave on August 10th...
ReplyDeleteAs long as you skip your studies in Rolla, this shouldn't be a problem. It is all about priorities!! I hope you are discussing the episodes with "Captain Janeway"! Don't forget to sign up for the BBQ btw!
ReplyDeleteI should still be able to fit in episodes every now and then. I expect Rolla should require bit more studying than in high school (which was almost none), but there's not as many classes and I should know most of Calculus 1 anyway from Mrs. Roach. And I will definitely bring Cheez-its, but I don't know what dessert my mom will make yet.
