    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kemocite is a key ingredient used in the Xindi weapon. It was also the substance in the hold of Quark's ship in Little Green Men (1995) that caused the ship to travel back in time to the 1950's.
    • Goofs
      Lieutenant Reed removes a canister of Kemocite from the box on the lab table and shows it to Captain Archer. When he does, there are clearly three canisters to the right of the open spot left by the one he removed and all canisters in the box are aligned perfectly in the same direction. In the subsequent shot of the box, there are now only two canisters to the right of the empty spot, and the canister on the left of the open spot is now rotated at an angle, clearly showing that this scene was done in multiple takes with a different canister being used in each.
    • Quotes

      Gralik Durr: [after learning about the Xindi-attack on Earth] You burst into my home, show me some twisted piece of metal and tell me it proves I'm a mass murderer? I've never seen your species before, I've never heard of a planet called Earth, and whether you believe me or not, I had nothing to do with killing millions of its inhabitants.

    6/10
    Advances the season but is quite forgettable
    Enterprise visits the Xindi colony producing Kemocite.

    This is a necessary episode that provides more information about The Xindi and their development of 'the weapon'. Archer has to make a decision whether or not to trust someone in a story that rams home the point that not every member of a species or race should be judged the same.

    There is also a sub-plot where Tucker, T'Pol and Phlox do some research and testing of a captured Xindi weapon. This has some great concepts, but one sequence that attempts to generate some suspense doesn't really work because we know something as bad as that would never happen.

    Performances are pretty good, but as is common with Enterprise the guest stars outshine the series regulars. John Cothran is excellent if you listen enough to disregard all the make-up and hair from his Gralik costume.

    The Shipment isn't a bad episode by any means, but I would say it's one to watch for continuity more than entertainment.
