When the show begins, Archer and Mayweather are in a detention facility. Apparently they wandered into the space of some folks who are at war with the genetically enhanced Suliban--the same ones who have been attacking Enterprise. At first, the people holding the two seem pretty reasonable and their interrogator (Dean Stockwell) is all smiles. However, over time two problems develop--the Captain spends a lot of time with other Suliban in custody and soon realizes that they are harmless and have nothing to do with the evil Suliban AND the interrogator is a total #&$%! He is not the nice guy he seem like when the show began and is more than willing to use torture to get information. Negotating with these people just doesn't seem possible and the Captain is not about to leave all these innocent folks in custody as well.
The only problem I saw about the show is that it was an obvious parallel to interred Japanese during WWII. This was fine...but then having Archer talk about this seemed preachy and unnecessary. I think many in the audience got the parallel and didn't need the history lesson. Otherwise, quite interesting and it was nice to see Dean Stockwell playing a jerk-face.
