Maybe the owners can find them and would be really, really pissed. Maybe the sphere is supressing the anomalies. ---

It seems to me, in my Star Trek memories, that Vulcans seem to lose control over their emotions at the drop of a chemical hat; I wouldn’t be all that shocked by the “crazy ship” of Vulcans 😉 Agreement on the sphere plundering, btw. ---

Five minute Enterprise (related to Five minute Voyager, etc.) is a great site. Too bad they’re slow when it comes to updating. I think their last recap was “The Breach” from season 2, and they missed all the episodes after that one. It is dead on, though, isn’t it? **Aes** , your tape went out on Sat. a.m. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cervaise \* > **The other thing that bugged me was Archer’s out-of-control-ness right before he dragged the alien from the brig. He’s leaning against the door, not just angry, but _ranting._ I don’t mind a captain with balls, but a loose cannon who can’t focus his anger effectively?** Here’s what I hope. I _hope_ that what we’re seeing is the beginning of Archer’s transformation into Captain Ahab. (Or Matt Decker, if you will – or the John Savage character from that Voyager two-parter where they used aliens for fuel.) He’s running around, with no consequences to his hideous actions (as **kingpegvin** notes). What if he does go off the deep end? What if he does go too far? That would be cool. We’re already seeing some of his officers questioning his actions (Malcolm in particular). Phlox hasn’t seen much of what’s gone on in the last two episodes, but I don’t see him lying down if he learns that Archer is planning to torture a couple more suspects. If Archer continues in this fashion for much longer, I don’t the writers are just going to say that this behavior is acceptable. If they have any skill at all, Archer’s crusade is going to end up costing Enterprise big. (Actually, they’d probably screw it up by redeeming him, but a boy can dream, can’t he?) –Cliffy ---
