    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When writer David A. Goodman, originally pitched this story, he proposed it could be set during a Medieval, Roman or Western setting. Brannon Braga, who had challenged the writing staff to come up with a 'Parallel Earth' idea like those often seen on the original Star Trek, chose the Western setting.
    • Goofs
      Archer tells the saloonkeeper that he would like to wait inside until it cools off, yet he is wearing a full length coat, multiple shirts, and a thick hat - none of which he ever takes off.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Deputy Bennings: Any last words?

      Skagaran: Go to hell!

      Deputy Bennings: Didn't know Skags believed in hell.

    Teaching Wrong History
    Archer, T'Pol and Trip visit a planet with six thousand humans still living in the Wild West style and one thousand Skagaraans living marginally. They disclose that humans had been abducted three hundred years ago to slave work, but they have reverted the situation and killed most of the Skags. The alien survivors presently does not have right to education and they a loathed by most of the population. When Archer and the teacher Bethany are arrested for teaching Skags, he decides to interfere in the society.

    "North Star" is so far the most inconsistent and the worst episode of this Third Season. The story is not original, and Archer violates the principle of not interfering in other societies. Further, the writer shamefully forgets the "Father of Aviation" Alberto Santos-Dumont, the first man to build and fly experimental aircraft, giving the credit to the Wright Brothers. Maybe a side effect of the Delphic Expanse. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Estrela Polar" ("North Star")
