So... I just don't get the low rating of this episode. I know people used to hate on Enterprise just for the sake of it, but this is a very good Trek Western episode.

The story actually makes sense as opposed to the Discovery "human colony on a distant planet". We have aliens who were overthrown by Humans and there is a real conflict here.

Also, the firefight between the Starfleet/MACOs and the cowboys is actually very well done! Archer using the kill setting to blow up the floor from that cowboy standing on that perch was an original take on it, for example.

Also, another proof why people just hate Enterprise just because they have nothing better to do: we have the same "I have the bigger stick" argument in the pilot for Strange New Worlds and people cheer for that episode.

This kind of bias is valid for about 80-90% of the 4 Enterprise seasons...
