Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn early pitch for the story that became "Future Tense" had the USS Defiant (from The Tholian Web (1968)) appearing instead of a timeship from the 31st century. The Defiant later appeared in In a Mirror, Darkly (2005) and In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II (2005).
- GoofsWhen Enterprise is running from the Suliban trying to get to the safety of the Vulcan ship, they state they are only a few million and then a few hundred thousand km away, yet they are traveling at maximum warp and are a few minutes then several seconds away, respectively. Even at the speed of light, it would take less than half a minute to travel a few million km At maximum warp, it would take them about a tenth of a second.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Some things are better left to mystery.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: And you called yourself an explorer.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Where is the fun in exploring if you know how it all turns out?

The Pod from the Future
The Enterprise finds a pod drifting in the space, and after opening it in Bay Launch 2, Archer discovers a human body. While investigating the interior of the pod, Trip and Reed find a mysterious stairway and conclude that somehow the ship is bigger inside. Meanwhile, Dr. Phlox finds that the DNA of the pilot has Vulcan and other alien genomes. When the hostiles Suliban and Tholian threaten the Enterprise with their warships demanding the deliver of the pod, Archer calls T'Pol and they go to Daniels' cabin. They unravel that the commission of the pod is nine hundred years ahead in the future.
"Future Tense" has interesting concepts and is full of action. The idea of a vessel bigger inside is revolutionary and original, against the existing principles of physics and therefore very intriguing. The reluctance of T'Pol in accepting that the pod is from the future is acceptable based on the logical principles of the Vulcan culture. However, how can she explain or contradict what she saw in Daniels' cabin? My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Futuro do Presente" ("Future of the Present")
