Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn early pitch for the story that became "Future Tense" had the USS Defiant (from The Tholian Web (1968)) appearing instead of a timeship from the 31st century. The Defiant later appeared in In a Mirror, Darkly (2005) and In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II (2005).
- GoofsWhen the Enterprise is running from the Suliban trying to get to the safety of the Vulcan ship Archer tells the Tholians they are only a few million kilometers away, then about a minute later T'Pol states they are 600,000 kilometers from the Vulcans. Even at just warp 1, the speed of light (299,792 km/s), it would only take 6.6 seconds to travel 2 million km and 2.001 seconds to travel 600,000 km. However the Enterprise is traveling at maximum warp, warp 5 is 125 times the speed of light so it would only take .05 seconds to travel 2 million km and .016 seconds to travel 600,000 km.

Featured review
Best Enterprise episode so far
The Enterprise retrieves a small vessel into its cargo bay before the Suliban and Tholians take an urgent interest.
This is a plot driven episode that is excellently paced with exciting, suspenseful action sequences broken up with some nice character exchanges. There are also some pretty cool sci-fi concepts included and nice nods (if not exact continuity) with The Original Series episode 'The Tholian Web'.
There are no really big character moments as most of the exchanges are there to service the plot, although there is a strong scene with Phlox and T'Pol and one moment of slight conflict between Archer and T'Pol.
Rather than spoil any of the plot, I'll just say that I thoroughly enjoyed this one from start to finish and have no complaints.
