The above quote is from Dr. Evil in the first Austin Powers movie. It's appropriate because this was funny in a comedy...it is NOT good when it's in a sci-fi drama like "Star Trek: Enterprise! This is the reason I see this as a particularly weak episode.
This is a follow-up to the prior episode where Dr. Soong has created a group of augments--humans with heightened physical and intellectual powers but lacking in conscience. In the previous one, Captain Archer STUPIDLY allowed Soong to escape custody (a major weakness in this first episode). Now in part two, Soong and his 'children' (the augments) go in search of a veritable army of augments Soong wishes to incubate. To do this, they take over a medical research station. Archer and his crew arrive but seem pathetically unable to stop them--again because Archer behaves like a wienie.
When the episode begins, the completely amoral and nasty leader of the augments has every reason to kill Archer. However, instead of just phasering his face (and he IS holding a phaser), he gives it to his bud and begins fighting with Archer. What a dumb cliché! Again, however, he could have just squished Archer's head. Instead, he beats him up and leaves him with SOME chance of escape...like Dr. Evil!! All in all this show has too many clichés and weak plot elements--and it SHOULD have been much better given the idea.
