It's a bit of a nit pick but it somewhat bothered me how even the Enterprise-A had to manually load torpedoes while the NX gets an automated loading system. Though, it's easy to justify it as the result of the Consitution class' designers deciding on using more analog systems for it; since Constitution classes are meant to go on long term missions and don't get to make repairs at a starbase that often, it would make sense to use primitive but more reliable alternatives, like using a manual torpedo launching system opposed to an automated one. But either way compliments to the set designers, they did a great job with the interiors of the NX Enterprise, especially how it's clearly influenced by submarine interiors.
@@Raven-626- I will have to agree with you there, and somewhat similar but some Main Battle Tanks with the auto loading mechanisms can count as well, it makes the NX slightly more reachable and I like that, basically just a bigger version of whats in the tanks and subs of the day
what i like about Enterprise; the underdog crew pushing their overburdened and underpowered ship to the absolute limit by doing what humans do best: learning, adapt and persevering eventually this earns humanity the respect of allied races and confidence by the vulcans that humans are ready to spearhead the exploration of space its truly a great series
Exactly, they were doing everything for the first time, no maps, no logs from previous captains, no backup. Voyager was similar but they had everything perfected at the time, the stakes weren't nearly as high.
@@AhsokaTanoTheWhite Not to mention you can see many times that Trip needs parts to fix the ship and they dont have the part they need. You had crew max 100 people and you must divide 100 people into engineers, security, science officers, medical staff and maintenence. And when only 3 or 4 people died they were all sad and heartbroken. And Archer was pissed off at the people who did that. Other ships in Star Trek had like around 1000 people. Not to mention NX 01 had only 1 chef for the entire crew.
@Emperor Ssraeshza Indeed... Eager beaver Harry Kim, Kes the 3 year old with an answer for everything and God-like abilities.

I think it what I liked most about Enterprise is that it started with them knowing nothing. And it ended with new allies and enemies for them (we, of course, already knew them, but that's kinda inconsequential.)
Theodore Roosevelt would have been proud of Capt. Archer and his crew staying in the fight and finding a way to win, although getting used to women on board might have thrown him off a bit at first. Do you know Theodore was shot before giving a speech, and gave most of it before he decided to go to the hospital because his friends in the crowd were becoming quite upset with him staying?? True story. Sadly, Theodore HATED being called or know by the nickname "Teddy", but many people were endeared to him by the nickname.
Beam Overload is a power-delivery thing...going by how it works, you're draining the capacitors/batteries local to the beam arrays faster than the global EPS grid can keep up with, thus the slower fire rate. Normal firing puts a cap on output to ensure there's always power available to take a shot. Whereas what went on in this episode was more "the hardware wasn't designed to handle this, we know it wasn't designed to handle this, doing this might infact blow us up, but we have a duct-tape solution to *probably* make it work so we can shove a hearty 'fuck you' down your throat".
I always thought it was funny how the aliens tried to blow up the Enterprise with its own Phase Cannons and just ended up giving them a more powerful weapon to use against them.
These were the best episodes of Enterprise. When the crew pushing themselves to the brink to get a project or a job done, to prove that they were the best crew in Starfleet. Not episodes of Trip getting pregnant.
I don't know, lots of episodes had their charm. Carbon Creek for example, where they tell the story of a vulcan crew who crashed on earth in the 1960's. Or The episode where they find debris from a borg ship frozen in the ice... that had crashed there around the time of zephrim's first warp flight.
Nah, Trip getting prego was actually a neat concept. The jello water was an original idea. The alien ship had moss or something if I can recall as well as some distortion affect. Also the intro to holotech. It was able to make the aliens seem more alieny without being stupid. Lastly, trek never did the male getting prego, so that was a fun detour from normal.
When Enterprise was on the air, I thought it was the weakest Trek entry to date. Now it's freakin' Shakespeare compared to the crap called Star Trek today.
The team that made this show went to great lengths to keep the story lines consistent with all the preceding shows. Season 4 filled in so many gaps. The new shows are full of sloppiness and contradictions.
In fairness to Berman & Braga: they accepted that the last episode wasn't what the fans had wanted, and appologized, to the fans and Ent' cast alike. Apparently the episode had been intended as Berman's way of saying goodbye to Trek (as he knew his time in charge was up), by harkening back to the period on TNG that started it all for him. As for Ent's cancellation: we can blame Les Moonves for that.
That is not true. The Episode itself was not too bad, it was just bad for a finale of ENT, which this Episode was never intended to be. It is all just a hate against a coincidence at let's people hate something that doesn't deserve it.

Those aliens picked the wrong folks to mess with. Gotta give Starfleet this. They don't build ships to start wars but the ships they do build are usually capable of finishing them.
Don't know how many Enterprise novels there are but I have "Kobayashi Maru" on my desk in reach right now, which is a good one that explains the inspiration for the Kobayashi Maru test Starfleet uses. It has a real fun character in the ship's captain, Jack (I think) Vance who's obviously inspired by Harry Mudd and rocks out with his cock out in at least one scene.
"Is that the best you can do Lt?!" Bro, he DAMAGED the SHIELDS of an Elachi vessel! After it he punched THROUGH them! Thats a feat RARELY seen even in 2410! Yes, it took some time (Years XD) but now i am shure. This is an Elachi ship their fighting. Sorry to be late to this as people that played STO longer than i did (and i started in Beta FFS! but had years of not playing) already know. Yet there are many who dont, or dont accept the fact that STO is in fact Canon and alway's was. This here is but another prove of that.
This episode start with aliens just stopping bye and having a look. They really didn't do much.. Even archer said, " What did I say" But the second time, they took some Pot shots, and ran away again.. Eventually in the end, they were the ones running away, I think they know better then Mess with the Enterprise.. Note: One Of my Fav Enterprise episodes -
I have this ship in STO and its a fking work horse! I have spent loads of money on that game and i ALWAYS come back to this ship, no amount of carriers or khyzon escorts come close xD
I loved flying it too. It felt a bit wonky at first, but I got a build going that I really enjoyed. NX-01 and Discovery are my favorite Legendary ships so far, with Defiant close behind.
Is it just me, or Should Archer have gone back to the station so they could figure out a reliable way of using their cannons without blowing up relays and damaging the cannons. Instead he's like, "Nope, fuck it, we'll just one shot everything that comes near us then repair it. Or die after the first volley." "Maintain your course Mr Mayweather!"
Romulan war at least... and their first real combats against the Klingons pls! Make discovery DISAPEAR FFS! Its at MOST Kelvin timeline, not proper trek(Discovery that is). Daniels would have changed the Xindi attack if needed, not only that but also others from the OG trek would have intervened (Q absolute would as every change COULD prevent Picard from being born or be the philosope that he is(wich Q as we know absolute loves about Picard). Discovery at most is Kelvin (given the discovery herself is 1000 meter long at least (as she rivals my Odyssey in STO, and that thing IS 1000m long). SNW actualy IS the OG trek universe again (given they only SAW a battle of Discovery sadly, wich very well could have happened(Enterprise did NOT engage there personaly). The first REAL Klingon war happenes AFTER the 5 year mission of Kirk wich sports him getting his way up to admiral (unlike in Kelvin where he pulls ADMIRAL, rather Rear Admiral, as early as what? 28? Real Kirk needed waaay longer for that! (Thou he doesnt take the promotion in the movie, he could have). So basicaly yes... would love 2 more seasons at least of enterprise, thou these day's? I doubt their able to pull this at all.. Picard is great shure but falls short against them older series like this here enterprise sooo we see these day's the writer could NOT do the same quality we would want to see.
@@lordeden2732 She wouldn't tell Trip her age til he compared her skin to an old oil painting in 'Zero Hour'. "I'm not old. I'll only be 66 on my next birthday" 66 years young then. So, when is her birthday? Some month on Vulcan? I guess she's about 20 earth years younger.
This reminds me of the Star Trek copypasta about humans are basically mad scientists and engineers who will do insane unexplained things with their technology that no other race would be insane enough to try. It's what makes humans "special" amongst the other powers. Like how human ships do crazy things like end up back in time, phasing through matter, surviving insane situations. Only humans are insane enough to try these things so the improbable happens more frequently to them than the hot headed Klingons, calculating Vulkans and scheming Romulans, etc.
While it is cool to see those torpedos being loaded into the tubes: Why is the weapons-officer standing next to warheads? Frankly he should either be on the bridge or at a separate fire-control-station! ps: Star Trek's lack of chairs for certain officers and lack of seatbelts pisses me off, same for not wearing at least light space-suits when going into combat (can't fully trust the force-fields...hell, the NX-Class doesn't have any, yet!)
The show was mad e a ways back, if you want actual space shenanigans watch The Expanse, where even altering course for an emergency is liable to kill you.
Malcolm and Trip were down there in the Armory because this was the first or second episode after the pilot (in which Enterprise left Earth without full weapons) and they were installing them this episode when they ran into the Elachi. In later episodes, Malcolm can and does control things from the Bridge
@@virt1one yea but they were headed back to Jupiter Station for refit and repairs as well as to provide better care for the wounded crewmen. Should've dumped half the armory into this mystery ship and blow it to the nine hells
@@Darqshadow They didn't want to go back to Jupiter Station they were only going back to install the phase canons once Trip and Malcom had them installed they no longer needed to go back besides Trip and his engineering team could make any minor hull repairs so it was better just to continue their exploration
It's the human way - the ones that don't look so tough are often the ones that can kill you. The ones that are huge and scary are the most inexperienced fighters.
This was one of the few episodes, that I actually liked. A pity, they never really followed up on this episode, and find out who they were , or where they came from.
I wish cable here in the central valley of Calif. hadn't gotten so expensive I never got to see this series, in fact I lost the last 1 1/2 years of Voyager so I don't know how it actually ended.
@@lordteapot9740 One of the redist states in the Union is Florida. The capital city is Tallahassee. The largest lake is Okeechobee. The river that is the border between the Eastern and Central Time Zone is called the Apalachicola River. The source of the river is the Chattahoochee Reservoir. This isn't woke shit. The people of Alaska got sick of calling a mountain the name of a president who has never been their and hand nothing to do with that state. McKinley died in 1901. Alaska became a state in 1959. He wasn't even the President during the big Alaska/Yukon gold rush. The people who lived and are from Alaska called the mountain Denali. It makes sense to call it Denali. What is the logic of calling it McKinley?
I love the practical effect of the torpedo going in the launcher.
photon torpedoes have a similar process, we just really only see it once

The most underrated Star Trek that deserved a better ending than it got. And deserved more screen time.
yes, yes, and yes.
Absolutely

I love how in enterprise we get to see the development of so many things that are taken for granted in other generations!!
The elachi really sold the idea of aliens in space more than anything...
And this is how Beam Overload exist on Star Trek Online.
sept we can fire them multiple times a day
In multiple battles.
i was literally just thinking that, xD
Not to mention the old Star Fleet Battles.
Beam Overload is a power-delivery thing...going by how it works, you're draining the capacitors/batteries local to the beam arrays faster than the global EPS grid can keep up with, thus the slower fire rate. Normal firing puts a cap on output to ensure there's always power available to take a shot.

Yeah that was a great episode.
Archer just pulled an uno reverse card.

It really grew on me, but after seeing what we have now it's right up there with Shakespeare.
These were the best episodes of Enterprise. When the crew pushing themselves to the brink to get a project or a job done, to prove that they were the best crew in Starfleet. Not episodes of Trip getting pregnant.
This was a decent first season episode. The series really found it’s stride in season 3 and season 4 was excellent
I disagree. That episode was good too in its own ways.
Although Trip getting pregnant was both pretty funny and strangely appropriate

I didn't see all the episodes but this was by far the best one i saw. Keeping the enemy faceless just makes them more scary for some reason.
They are not faceless. Previous on the episode you can see them infiltrating Enterprise.
When Enterprise was on the air, I thought it was the weakest Trek entry to date. Now it's freakin' Shakespeare compared to the crap called Star Trek today.

Yet there are many who dont, or dont accept the fact that STO is in fact Canon and alway's was. This here is but another prove of that.
Good old Beam Overload
This episode start with aliens just stopping bye and having a look. They really didn't do much.. Even archer said, " What did I say" But the second time, they took some Pot shots, and ran away again.. Eventually in the end, they were the ones running away, I think they know better then Mess with the Enterprise.. Note: One Of my Fav Enterprise episodes -
2:52: Captain Archer’s like did we just win a space battle 😳 cool!! 😎
I have this ship in STO and its a fking work horse! I have spent loads of money on that game and i ALWAYS come back to this ship, no amount of carriers or khyzon escorts come close xD
I loved flying it too. It felt a bit wonky at first, but I got a build going that I really enjoyed. NX-01 and Discovery are my favorite Legendary ships so far, with Defiant close behind.
Enterprise kicking elachi ass !
Love this scene.
Thanks for posting it.

When I was a kid I didn’t think Enterprise was that good. Watching it now, compared with the stuff out today...It isn’t bad.
Star Trek was on a downward spiral even then, but compared to STD and Picard, Enterprise was pure gold
So this is the only time we see the Elachi in live action!!! I would have liked to see there iconian masters too!!!
I do love that in STO they tied in those mysterious single-episode antagonist species with the Iconians. The Elachi, Solanae, and Bluegills.
Maybe we'll get to see the Iconians in one of the newer shows. With today's effects, it could be a gorgeous experience.
I so miss this show.
Me too.
Wer'e not going back to Jupiter Station! Wer'e going to explore the galaxy as we intended!
Is it just me, or Should Archer have gone back to the station so they could figure out a reliable way of using their cannons without blowing up relays and damaging the cannons. Instead he's like, "Nope, fuck it, we'll just one shot everything that comes near us then repair it. Or die after the first volley." "Maintain your course Mr Mayweather!"
Of course they couldn’t they could only go warp 5 remember it took them the best part of a year just to reach the expanse
Archer is not fucking around
This show deserved 2 more seasons
Romulan war at least... and their first real combats against the Klingons pls! Make discovery DISAPEAR FFS! Its at MOST Kelvin timeline, not proper trek(Discovery that is). Daniels would have changed the Xindi attack if needed, not only that but also others from the OG trek would have intervened (Q absolute would as every change COULD prevent Picard from being born or be the philosope that he is(wich Q as we know absolute loves about Picard). Discovery at most is Kelvin (given the discovery herself is 1000 meter long at least (as she rivals my Odyssey in STO, and that thing IS 1000m long). SNW actualy IS the OG trek universe again (given they only SAW a battle of Discovery sadly, wich very well could have happened(Enterprise did NOT engage there personaly). The first REAL Klingon war happenes AFTER the 5 year mission of Kirk wich sports him getting his way up to admiral (unlike in Kelvin where he pulls ADMIRAL, rather Rear Admiral, as early as what? 28? Real Kirk needed waaay longer for that! (Thou he doesnt take the promotion in the movie, he could have).
So basicaly yes... would love 2 more seasons at least of enterprise, thou these day's? I doubt their able to pull this at all.. Picard is great shure but falls short against them older series like this here enterprise sooo we see these day's the writer could NOT do the same quality we would want to see.
"Aw shit, the human vessel got hands today"
T'pol's look at 1:22 : f-ing serious?!
Trek when it was still Trek.
The Vulcan female look so beautiful i hope she still look the same or even better
SHE'S HUMAN AND A LOT OLDER!
@@lordeden2732 oh really i didn't no that i thought she really was an alien
@@lordeden2732 your next line is going to be "water is wet".
Relax. Jolene Blalock is only 45, and still blazing hot. A lot blonder though.
@@lordeden2732 She wouldn't tell Trip her age til he compared her skin to an old oil painting in 'Zero Hour'. "I'm not old. I'll only be 66 on my next birthday" 66 years young then. So, when is her birthday? Some month on Vulcan? I guess she's about 20 earth years younger.
Since this is a prequel series one would assume that the armory on the NX01 becomes phaser control on the original series ship.
Sounds good to me - Archer had no idea what they were talking about by the look of his face :D
This reminds me of the Star Trek copypasta about humans are basically mad scientists and engineers who will do insane unexplained things with their technology that no other race would be insane enough to try. It's what makes humans "special" amongst the other powers.
Like how human ships do crazy things like end up back in time, phasing through matter, surviving insane situations. Only humans are insane enough to try these things so the improbable happens more frequently to them than the hot headed Klingons, calculating Vulkans and scheming Romulans, etc.
Yay, they won a fight for a change!
While it is cool to see those torpedos being loaded into the tubes: Why is the weapons-officer standing next to warheads? Frankly he should either be on the bridge or at a separate fire-control-station!
ps: Star Trek's lack of chairs for certain officers and lack of seatbelts pisses me off, same for not wearing at least light space-suits when going into combat (can't fully trust the force-fields...hell, the NX-Class doesn't have any, yet!)
Because the warheads don't arm until they are in the torpedo tubes. They are conventional spatial charges strapped to missiles basically.
The show was mad e a ways back, if you want actual space shenanigans watch The Expanse, where even altering course for an emergency is liable to kill you.
Think. Early starship. They don’t have NCC-1700 A technology yet.
Malcolm and Trip were down there in the Armory because this was the first or second episode after the pilot (in which Enterprise left Earth without full weapons) and they were installing them this episode when they ran into the Elachi. In later episodes, Malcolm can and does control things from the Bridge
Enterprise had 96 Episodes. This one is under the Top 10 IMO
Tucker pulled a Scotty in this one!
I, for one, welcome our new phase cannon overload.
I wish they continued Enterprise until they formed the Federation.
Yeah they canceled before the best part forming of Federation Federation Romulan War it would have given Romulans more context
@@gokublack8342 Romulan earth war. pre federation.
@@BlueGoblin1 Oh mb
I watch this scene over and again, but I always wait for Archer to order everyone to put their goggles on! HEHEHE
Worse comes to worse, then can always do the Holdo Maneuver LOL
"we all understand the risks"
he ment to say: "none of us up here understand the risks, just do the thing"
Nice of the "enemy" to be a sitting duck for them.
They gave a bully a bloody nose, and he flinched then ran away.
Why did they stop firing!! Enterprise was the best of them right behind Roddenberry's first creation in my humble opinion.
They are not killers. Hitting them twice with Torps is enough to tell them dont bother us again.
You gotta leave someone alive to tell the others so they'll leave you alone
their phase canons were both down, and unlike the energy that the canons fire, torpedoes are a finite resource..
@@virt1one yea but they were headed back to Jupiter Station for refit and repairs as well as to provide better care for the wounded crewmen. Should've dumped half the armory into this mystery ship and blow it to the nine hells
@@Darqshadow They didn't want to go back to Jupiter Station they were only going back to install the phase canons once Trip and Malcom had them installed they no longer needed to go back besides Trip and his engineering team could make any minor hull repairs so it was better just to continue their exploration
I did enjoy the idea of the armory
🇧🇷 Saudações BRAZIL , STA TREK ENTERPRISE NX-01, Overlland, the Phaser cannons 😠⚡👍🖖.
How they first met the Elachi from star trek online
And we still have no clue who they were. Loved this Episode almost as much as "Fallen Hero" when they hit Warp 5!
It's the human way - the ones that don't look so tough are often the ones that can kill you. The ones that are huge and scary are the most inexperienced fighters.
TOS phasors were invented by overloading the phase cannons.
I loved this episode, Enterprise was the best.
This was a learning curve for enterprise cuz I’m betting this would be kinda real
This hits differently if you've played Star Trek Online.
If Picard retcons this exact moment in Enterprise as the time the Borgified La Sirena was encountered, it may just well be full circle.
Enterprise was the best Trek series in my humble opinion.
This was one of the few episodes, that I actually liked. A pity, they never really followed up on this episode, and find out who they were , or where they came from.
Though they don't show up in the shows again, their identity and purpose are revealed in the game Star Trek Online. They're called the Elachi.
That self-repairing repair station..
This sene was good so was the battle
Did they ever figure out who those guys were? It's weird how the NX-01 kept encountering aliens that we've never seen again, despite being a prequel.
We see them 👁👀👍🏽🌬
I enjoyed watching Enterprise alot. Far more than the last few seasons of STD for sure.
Also were these aliens ever given a name later on?
I wish cable here in the central valley of Calif. hadn't gotten so expensive I never got to see this series, in fact I lost the last 1 1/2 years of Voyager so I don't know how it actually ended.
Netflix exists, dude. So does the Pirate Bay.
they all died
Oops! Mount McKinley went back to its original name Denali (The Great One) after this episode was written.
all the libtards died in ww3 when all the cities where they lived got nuked lol. all that woke shit died with them.
@@lordteapot9740 One of the redist states in the Union is Florida. The capital city is Tallahassee. The largest lake is Okeechobee. The river that is the border between the Eastern and Central Time Zone is called the Apalachicola River. The source of the river is the Chattahoochee Reservoir. This isn't woke shit. The people of Alaska got sick of calling a mountain the name of a president who has never been their and hand nothing to do with that state. McKinley died in 1901. Alaska became a state in 1959. He wasn't even the President during the big Alaska/Yukon gold rush. The people who lived and are from Alaska called the mountain Denali. It makes sense to call it Denali. What is the logic of calling it McKinley?
Overload the technobabble!
Excellent video. ♡ T.E.N.
Good show cause we actual see torpedoes and alike. Shame we didnt get a lot these type sections in the voyage and ds9
This episode should be called don't be too proud
If you are a fan of Star Trek but have not given Enterprise a viewing you should it is a good series
