I am not sure we are ever going to get a real explanation for why Enterprise was thrown back in time, but it seems like if they aren't their world won't exist so I guess I can accept that. This is by far the most interesting thing the temporal cold war has given us in all of ENT so I can't really argue. I am not sure who the new gray faced, red eyed aliens are, but presumably the Suliban have something to do with it. Also, it seems like maybe they don't need to worry about messing up the timeline too much at this point. It is going to be interesting to see how they solve this problem since at this point history has already been pretty badly damaged. Even if the allies manage to pull off a victory the German conquest of the east coast of America seems like a bit of a problem for the timeline.
We open with Trip and Tucker in the shuttle flying into San Francisco under heavy machine gun and then flak fire. They head back to Enterprise which has realized they aren't in the right time. Archer meanwhile is being transported by German soldiers through the woods when they are ambushed by what turns out to be the mafia resistance. Archer gets taken to Alicia Travers apartment in Brooklyn, she is a member of the resistance and believes he is an American serviceman. The nazi aliens meanwhile have figured out Archer is from the future and send out goon squads to try and locate him. In the shuttlebay Trip is attacked by Silik, the Suliban leader who steals a shuttle and despite weapons fire from Enterprise manages to make it to the surface. Also a totally messed up Daniels shows up on Enterprise and manages to tell T'Pol that this is part of the temporal cold war, but the cold war just got hot. Archer manages to convince his mafia/resistance buddies that there are strange creatures working with the nazis and they set up a meeting with one. Trip and Tucker beam down to look for the shuttle and plant charges to destroy it, but just then the nazis arrive. Archer and the mafia interrogate the alien they contacted but he won't talk, luckily Archer recovers a communicator from him. Trip and Tucker appear to have been captured and things don't look much better for Archer, but just in time to gets through to Enterprise and both he and Alicia are beamed to safety.
Review: Lots of action and some actual story too. Plus Archer is written like a human being instead of some perfect jesus figure like he was the first three seasons which is a huge improvement. Can't give this a higher score until I see the conclusion, but I am actually looking forward to it which is really nice.
