As for the show itself – the action and adventure has
been cranked up to 11. And you know what? It works.
The entire season is basically one long episode. The crew
of the Enterprise are on the hunt for an alien race called
the Xindi, who are responsible for the death of seven million
earthlings (in the season 2 finale). They’ve had to enter
an uncertain bit of space called ‘The Expanse’ though
– and by golly, if they’re not going to feel it’s
effects.
In ‘The Expanse’ everything’s a little warped
and both crew and vessel are going to take a battering.
Whilst the episodes fixing solely on the crew’s hunt
for the Xindi – which gets more complicated as it goes
on, and isn’t necessarily as clean-cut as they originally
envisioned (it’s a storyline obviously inspired by 9-11)
– are compelling, some of the stand-alone episodes are
also great.
See Captain Archer (Scott Bakula) travel 12-years in the
future to become T’Pol’s life companion, see Phlox
going a little nuts as he takes sole command of the ship whilst
everyone else sleeps, see Trip having to be cloned, and watch
the gun do battle with a horde of gunslingers in a wild west
setting.
The writing in this season is impeccable – such imagination
has gone into some of these stories. Judging by the last few
minutes of the season, Season 4 is going to be no less inventive.
What a fine show. What a fine set.
