    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Hoshi's insult to T'Pol, "Ponfo mirann", loosely translates to "Go to hell".
    • Goofs
      When Captain Archer travels to Brazil, Hoshi Sato is teaching a class in another language. The closed captions state it is Klingon, however, since Earth hasn't had any contact with Quon'os before, it is highly unlikely they would know how to speak it, Hoshi tried to use the universal translator when Klaang is in sickbay. Since she wasn't familiar with any Klingon dialects, with the small sample the Vulcans donated, the language she was teaching was another species, possibly insectoid.

      Dr. Zefram Cochrane: On this site, a powerful engine will be built - an engine that will someday help us to travel a hundred times faster than we can today. Imagine it: thousands of inhabited planets at our fingertips. And we'll be able to explore those strange new worlds, and seek out new life, and new civilizations. This engine will let us go boldly, where no man has gone before.

    The Birth of the Enterprise
    I've seen episodes of all the Star Trek series here and there on TV throughout my life but never followed any of them devoutly. Recently, I thought it might be fun to go through them and see what the Star Trek universe has to offer me. Not really knowing where to start, I did some research and decided to take the road less traveled and watch the Star Trek series chronologically. So "Broken Bow" is where I have begun.

    This double episode is a good start to the series. We got to know the main characters and it seems like the show has a nice ensemble cast with enough personality & diversity to keep it fresh for the audience. I appreciate that we're starting with a small cast of important characters and not overextending it and confusing the audience.

    I liked that we're jumping straight into space exploration with Klingons and other less familiar races such as the Suliban. This new race's look and shape-shifting, wall-climbing abilities are intriguing. I hope to see more of them.

    The episode didn't blow me away by any means but it's a good foundation. One possible thumbs down from me is that it seems that we're already starting up a love angle between T'Pol & Trip. Romance aboard the Enterprise is fine but let's get a few notches under our belt before we start getting into this stuff. Plus, the whole intolerant, judgmental character broadens his horizons and falls in love with someone you didn't expect is a bit played out. But we'll see... 7/10, average.
