It's Vulcan behaviour Jim, but not as we know it

Archer and T'Pol are taken hostage on the planet Coridan.

This is another strong episode from the Vulcan/Andorian/Human story arc that began during the 'Andorian Incident'. The Andorians are again good value for their screen time and Archer is great when involved in these politics. As previously this is not the best portrayal of the Vulcans (aside from T'Pol) and is probably not a good one for the Trek purists who like their Vulcans as they were established earlier in the franchise.

It has quite an action packed plot, but also contains good character moments for Archer, T'Pol and Tucker. Archer and T'Pol play off each other well during the intimate moments of captivity and Tucker is excellent facing off against the Vulcans during his time in command.

Things really come to life when the rescue mission gets underway and the fun peaks when Shran arrives. The only bit I struggled with was T'Pol's moment of heroism. I thought to myself, please don't go down that route, but they did. However, that did set things up well for a nice final scene in sickbay.
