Trivia
An 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).

Goofs
When the Enterprise is running from the Suliban trying to get to the safety of the Vulcan ship Archer tells the Tholians they are only a few million kilometers away, then about a minute later T'Pol states they are 600,000 kilometers from the Vulcans. Even at just warp 1, the speed of light (299,792 km/s), it would only take 6.6 seconds to travel 2 million km and 2.001 seconds to travel 600,000 km. However the Enterprise is traveling at maximum warp, warp 5 is 125 times the speed of light so it would only take .05 seconds to travel 2 million km and .016 seconds to travel 600,000 km.

Quotes
Captain Jonathan Archer: If a Human and a Vulcan did have a child... I wonder if he'd have pointed ears.

Really good but it sagged a bit when things started repeating themselves.

When the show begins, Enterprise encounters a very odd space capsule. Inside they find a dead man--and he'd been dead for a long time. However, Dr. Phlox's autopsy discovers something that shocks them all--the human has traces of Vulcan DNA! And, later, Phlox also finds evidence of other alien DNA. Slowly they come to realize that the capsule is from another time--1000 years in the future and the dead man inside was a time traveler!

Soon, Suliban ships show up and insist that Archer turn over this capsule. When he naturally refuses, more Suliban ships appear and begin attacking. Enterprise takes off in space and soon finds that their support, a Vulcan ship, has been attacked by Tholians--and now the Tholians want the capsule as well!! Is there any way out of this mess?

This is a pretty exciting episode and I liked the idea of them finding a dead Dr. Who-like being. But the show also suffers from two things--too many occurrences where scenes are repeated again and again due to 'spatial anomalies' and this is quite annoying. Also, by the end of the show, nothing is really accomplished. Worth seeing but a bit weak.
