Hoshi And The Beast

Hoshi is contacted by a telepathic life form and Enterprise investigates.

This is a hit and miss episode that develops the series 3 narrative pretty well. There is some pretty interesting information revealed relating to the spheres and the nature of the expanse, but this is a sub-plot to a Star Trek version of what some other reviewers described as Beauty And The Beast.

Homage or not, I found the scenes with Hoshi and Tarquin to be too much like the Disney animation. We have a castle with candlesticks, books and a crystal ball in place of the mirror. In one scene Belle... sorry Hoshi, goes outside and looks at something she shouldn't be looking at and then he comes out and tells her off.

That being said, I found it a well made episode with solid performances from all cast, particularly the guest actor. My favourite scene is when Archer and Tucker almost lose the shuttle and have to be creative to stop it from floating away.
