    This episode was the best one so far in season one. I am sure that the Silik character will return again and has the possibility of being as interesting as Q (although definitely not as witty). I am usually a huge fan of time traveling episodes in the Star Trek universe. I thought this episode would have been better, however, if they actually showed the time travel instead of just showing the dangers of it. Oh well. This is still an amazing episode in this Star Trek franchise.

    I almost want to look ahead in the episode guides to see what Silik will do next but I will refrain.moreless

    Applying the temporal plotlines to Enterprise just like it did in Voyager. It's perfect as a subplot for this prequel show. A temporal agent named Daniels come back from the future to deal with Silik, another temporal agent, but an alien one. This episode is action packed, it's really interesting, the writers surely did an excellent episode. The temporal storyline is really exciting, it gave the show another dimension, something we never seen before, something quite unexpected. But this one is really a fine edition to the Enterprise universe. The story was fast paced, the acting was great, it's a great episode.moreless

    • Archer: (to Silik) You keep saying you're here to help us. But I can't stop wondering what kind of genetic enhancements you'll get for bringing back that little prize? Eyes in the back of your head? A pair of wings? Edit
    • T'Pol: There is a difference between keeping an open mind and believing something because you want it to be true. Edit
