In this episode of Treknopod, we continue our Star Trek: Enterprise rewatch with Season 1, Episode 21, “Detained.”This episode aired in 2002, just months after 9/11, but watching it again in 2026 makes it feel painfully relevant. Archer and Mayweather are imprisoned in a detention camp alongside innocent Suliban civilians, and the episode asks one of Star Trek’s most uncomfortable questions:At what point does following an unjust rule make you complicit in the injustice?We also discuss the Quantum Leap reunion between Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell, why Travis Mayweather finally gets a stronger role, the real-world allegory behind the episode, and the debut of Vactor’s Comic Corner, where we look at whether the Suliban ever received meaningful stories in Star Trek comics.If you’re watching along with our Enterprise rewatch, let us know:Does “Detained” still hold up, or does the episode resolve its heavy subject matter too neatly?Follow Treknopod:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@treknopodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@treknopod#StarTrek #StarTrekEnterprise #EnterpriseRewatch #Treknopod
