| Review : |
A very good start to the new season, showcasing Enterprise's aggressive new attitude. The mining planet was extremely atmospheric and I regret not seeing the overseer - an interesting and fairly unique character played by a very good actor - in any further episodes, always a problem of starship-based Trek series. Scott Bakula suddenly remembers how to act and Connor Trineer as Trip Tucker is fantastic. The Xindi prisoner they find and try to rescue was superbly acted for a guest role, just like the mining facility overseer. We also see the Macos making up for all the crap and incompetent corridor gun battles we see in Trek (although these will return later this season, unfortunately). I hated the jaunty new theme - a big mistake for a season as dark as this one - but Enterprise stepped up to the plate from this season on. |
