I’m rewatching the whole series and in season 1, there is an episode I just don’t understand. The Episode is “Shuttlepod One”
Trip and Macolm are in a shuttle in an asteroid field and the see the wreakage of Enterprise. Later on we see part of the NX-01. There are also microsingularities around so I’m thinking its a timeloop episode and do to their knowledge, Trip and Malcom save Enterprise from crashing.
But the Enterprise never crashed. Instead, on the Enterprise, they rescued a crew from a crashed ship. Archer promises to tell Malcom what the ship was late but never does. Was it the Enterprise? Did the Chief Engineer and Armoury Officer mis-identify the ship? WHat gives?
No. On the Enterprise, one of the bay doors was pulled off when trying to rescure the survivors, but I find it hard to believe Trip and Malcolm would mistake another ship for the Enterprise.
If the writers expected us to belive that they would see a wreak and a bay door and think it’s Enterprise, it’s pretty weak writing - even weaker than going Warp 10 turns you into a giant axolitl.
Ah, yes, Shuttlepod One- the ep that made me give up on Enterprise * until the end of S3. We got to Malcolm’s T’pol crush and I went for the remote. Oddly enough, it’s now my fave ST iteration- the crew’s dorky naiveté grew on me. But still hate S’pod 1 *
