An early
human colony on Terra Nova mysteriously disappeared 70 years ago, and Enterprise
First thoughts:
I think
this was the best overall episode so far.
Directed by LeVar Burton.
Directed by LeVar Burton.
I liked
to the tie-in to Earth’s earlier exploration efforts. The scenario felt
realistic concerning the separatist element and the “lost colony” legend.
No drama
between crew members, everyone was effective and efficient at their jobs. Good
solid teamwork effort…particularly the completely smooth sailing between T’Pol
and Archer.
I
continue to be impressed with Dr. Phlox, he is easily one of my favorite characters
on the show so far. Straight-shooting, competent, and professional. Interesting without any drama. Great great
work by John Billingsley.
The Novan
language was right on the edge of
being annoying. However, I thought it was mostly a useful plot device to
reinforce the idea that the originally cave dwellers had only been children
when they were orphaned. Over the course of two generations, they developed a
context specific vocabulary.
Nitpicks:
Meh…nothing
major actually. Generally it was a focused storyline that didn’t rely on crazy
special effects, aliens, or pseudo-science.
It was
hard to keep track of the extras, but it seemed like the Novan’s had some odd demographics.
Two old people. Everyone else looked to be in their twenties or thirties. No one in
between. No young kids.
I’m not a
scientist, but I feel like 52 people is pretty lean to maintain a stable gene pool
in the long term. I don’t have high
hopes for long term survival of the Novans.
Nadet
definitely looked old enough in her childhood picture to have clear memories of
her life before going underground, but it played out like she could barely
remember it.
