In this episode, Archer and T'Pol time-travel back to 2004 to attempt to stop the Xindi from destroying humanity.
The plot wasn't bad, but what I enjoyed most about this episode was T'Pol's commentary on humanity in the 21st Century. Star Trek has criticised our current society on countless occasions, and I suppose it could be construed as being 'preachy', but the criticisms are fair. Jolene Blalock portrayed T'Pol's disgust at meat-eating, fossil fuel consumption, greed, violence and moral corruption extremely well.
All in all, a fun episode. Very convenient, however, that the Xindi happened to travel back in time to 2004.
