Like most two part episodes the second half of this one wasn't as good as the first half. But it wasn't awful so I will take it. I would like to say I am not sure why Hoshi had to be the one to crawl through the ducts to let them all out of their quarters, but clearly it was just an excuse to have her take her clothes off. I am not sure I buy the Suliban being able to easily take over and operate Enterprise, but then again they were fooled by the fake warp core breach. You probably all know by now that I am not a huge fan of the actor playing Archer, but damn he looks good when he is with Daniels. That dude is actually terrible. Still not sure what is going on with future guy, but I actually really liked when Archer jumped through his time portal to kick the Suliban dude in the ass. I am pretty sure this is the first hand to hand engagement that Archer has won in all of ENT so well done.
We open where we left off with Archer trapped in the future and Enterprise surrounded by Suliban. Even though I think the order is reversed in the show I am going to start with the stuff on the ship. T'Pol surrenders to the Suliban and lets them board the ship to search for Archer. Eventually they realize he is gone but there is a temporal signature or something so they take T'Pol in for questioning, but don't get anything from her. In the future Archer has to talk Daniels out of being super depressed that the Federation never existed and after digging through a library they decide to make a communicator across time. Archer calls T'Pol and gets her to organize the rest of the crew to get a piece of equipment from Daniels room. Hoshi has to crawl through the ducts but the plan works and they send Malcolm in with the device. But he is caught, which turns out to be the actual plan. The head Suliban takes the device from Daniels quarters to his time chamber while Trip manages to fake a warp core breach and free Enterprise. Archer jumps through the time portal and beats up the head Suliban getting him to agree to stop attacking Enterprise along the way. Also he destroys the time portal thing. Finally Archer makes it back to Enterprise in a pod and gets told the Vulcans still want to shut Enterprise down. But T'Pol speaks up and it is enough to convince Starfleet to give them another shot.
Review: A decent conclusion to the story they started last episode, but still not much with the temporal cold war or anything like that. The idea of Starfleet shutting them down has also been played out for me at this point, but I guess it gives them a source of tension or whatever.
