    • Quotes

      Kolos: My father... was a teacher; my mother, a biologist at the university. They encouraged me to take up the law. Now, all young people want to do is take up weapons, as soon as they can hold them. They're told there's honor in victory. Any victory. What honor is there in a victory over a weaker opponent? Had Duras destroyed that ship, he would've been lauded as a hero of the Empire, for murdering helpless refugees. We were a great society, not so long ago. When honor was earned through integrity and... acts of true courage. Not senseless bloodshed.

      Captain Jonathan Archer: For thousands of years, my people had similar problems. We fought three world wars that almost destroyed us. Whole generations were nearly wiped out.

      Kolos: What changed?

      Captain Jonathan Archer: A few courageous people began to realize... they could make a difference.

    Justice, Klingon style....
    When the show begins, Archer is in a Klingon prison awaiting a trial. Why he is being tried is unknown and the audience knows nothing about his predicament. But you don't learn it for some time. When you first hear about it, it's not from Archer but from his accuser in court. And, oddly, in this 'fair trial', the accused isn't even allowed to explain his actions or testify in any way. It's an obvious set-up, though I must say that Archer did apparently put himself in this situation by being the intergalactic nice guy and helping the wrong people. Surprisingly, the do-nothing defense attorney they assign to the case actually has the temerity to challenge the court and demand fairness and a chance for Archer to testify. What's next?

    I liked this episode for many reasons. Seeing the Klingon justice system was rather entertaining and the defense attorney was an interesting character--and another chance to see J.G. Hertzler, who (in my opinion) played the best Klingon character of all in previous shows, the very honorable and entertaining General Martok. Well worth seeing.
