Enterprise visits a deuterium refinery where the workers are regularly plundered by a group of Klingons.
This episode started off quite well with a decent premise of Archer wanting to help group of innocent people being bullied, but the final act is so laughably bad it drags the whole episode down with it.
The first two acts are perfectly fine, we have the crew sussing out the situation and deciding to help. Then we have a training/siege-preparation montage (something I always enjoy). Lots of nods to The Magnificent Seven with little bit of Shane and a whole lot of The A-Team.
Then we get to the final act where the Klingons come back looking for their deuterium and trouble. What follows is so epically bad it has to be seen. We have more A-Team style action with shots going off and Bat'leth's being swung with absolutely nobody hurt. T'Pol suddenly turns into a ninja version of Vasquez from 'Aliens'. The Klingons (who use a transporter) get trapped by a display of pyrotechnics that would be better suited to the 'Fall of Atlantis' animatronic display at Caesar's Palace. When Archer taps Malcolm Reed on the back for a tactical job well done I was half expecting him to light up a cigar and say "Well done B. A. that was beautiful!"
The reason I have given it a higher rating than it deserves is because to me it is 'so bad its good' to the point of guilty pleasure.
