Season 2, Episode 1
7/10
Back from the Future

Warning: Spoilers
Season 2 kicks off right where the finale of Season 1 left us. Archer's stuck in the future with no way back, the Enterprise is surrounded by Suliban ships, there is little to no hope for the crew. How will they get out of this one? While this was an okay episode, I really was hoping for a more prolonged conflict. Archer spends all of 5 minutes in the future before figuring out a way back to his time and place. It would have been nice seeing him in that desolate place struggling a bit longer, trying to figure out how to get back. It also would have been nice seeing how the crew could manage without their Captain. Instead, he tricks the Cabal into bringing him back and hijacks a pod to return to the Enterprise.

Some of the crew's hijinks made me roll my eyes in this one. Hoshi's "hilarious" wardrobe malfunction had no place in this one and really left me scratching my head. I am also quickly tiring of Trip and the acting ability (or lack there of) of Connor Trinneer.

Besides this, a pretty auspicious start to Season 2.
