Fight or Flight (2151)

from Captain’s Logs Hosted by Andrew Iver

This week’s discussion is over Star Trek: Enterprise season 1 episode 2, Fight or Flight Two weeks into Enterprise's first voyage, the wonder runs out — and then the archive turns cold. Thara and Elias open the log of May twenty-one fifty-one, when Captain Archer's bored, restless crew found an Axanar vessel drifting in the dark with its entire crew murdered and hung up to be harvested, and a young linguist had to decide whether she belonged in deep space at all. In this episode, the hosts follow Hoshi Sato from sickbay slug duty and environment-suit panic to the moment she learns a dead crew's language and talks an Axanar captain out of firing on the wrong ship. Along the way they argue over Archer's retreat and his conscience-driven turn back to the derelict, T'Pol's non-interference counsel, and Reed's misaligned targeting scanners in Enterprise's first real battle. Verdicts: Elias 8 out of 10 Thara 9 out of 10 The slug takes a perfect 10 and a planet of its own.
