Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaT'Pol tells Captain Archer there is an old Vulcan saying, "One man can summon the future". This is a nod to the original Mirror, Mirror (1967), in which the "alternate" Spock tells Captain Kirk the saying of Mirror Vulcans; "One man cannot summon the future".
- GoofsThe Romulan Admiral Valdore tells Trip the radiation will kill him in 7 minutes. Given the very limited Romulan/Human contact to this point it is unlikely that Valdore would know how much radiation humans could tolerate.
Valdore is trying to force Trip to reconnect the warp core, so it's irrelevant whether Romulans know how much radiation humans can stand. Valdore is trying to intimidate Trip, and Trip is in pain; it's unlikely that Trip would risk dying on the off chance that Valdore is lying.
- Quotes
Commander Shran: I'd rather cohabit with Klingon targs than join forces with Tellarites!
Tellarite Ambassador Gral: Your personal mating preference is no concern of mine.

Featured review
Great episode with an excellent Jeffery Coombs performance
Enterprise pursues the Romulan drone ship and Archer contends with the fallout from the shooting of Lt. Talas.
I enjoyed the second part of the Romulan trilogy as it has a compelling plot, memorable character moments, strong performances and good sense of continuity with the franchise.
The plot contains plenty of excitement as Trip and Reed fight for survival and Archer deals with a diplomatic incident aboard Enterprise. This all unfolds in a series of solid character moments where pretty much everyone contributes, even Hoshi and Mayweather. Reed gets the opportunity to be heroic which is refreshing given his character's poor past material.
All performances are great, particularly Jeffery Coombs who gets some excellent moments as Shran and firmly establishes the character as a franchise favourite.
Much like the Babel One, United feels like its belongs in the Star Trek universe and works as prequel to the original series. Unfortunately this does not help everything that's come before it as it shows what potential was squandered in the first three seasons. However, I'll end on a positive note by remarking that it ends on another intriguing reveal that makes you need to know what happens next.
