Every society goes through stages of evolution, often propelled by religion. Such change is not always welcome and is rarely easily accepted. There will always be those who feel they are losing power and try to silence those who bring new knowledge to light. But the change eventually becomes the norm—at least until others with more knowledge begin the cycle again. And this can happen on any world, as we see in fourth season of Enterprise in what has come to be known as The Vulcan Trilogy. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi Jackola welcome Brandon-Shea Mutala of Melodic Treks and NX-01 relief tactical officer Jim Moorhouse to discuss “The Forge,” “Awakening,” and “Kir'Shara.” We explore technological inconsistencies, fan service done right, Shran Solo, and how this three-parter made Star Trek: The Animated Series canon.

Welcome to Season Two of Star Trek Enterprise, guys! We made it! Archer and Daniels are poking around a library in the 31st century while back in the 22nd, the crew of the Enterprise is desperately trying to survive a Suliban occupation of their ship. Shockwave Part 1 was one of the strongest of the series so far, will part 2 keep it going? Enterprise 02x01 - Shockwave Part 2 Directed by Allan Kroeker Written by Rick Berman & Brannon Braga Guest Stars: John Fleck, Matt Winston, Vaughn Armstrong, Gary Graham, Keith Allan, Jim Fitzpatrick There Are Four Mics is a weekly Star Trek podcast discussing the Star Trek episodes and movies in stardate order. Join Chris Keeley, Jason Allen, Joe Heiser, and Joshua B. Jones as we discuss the 1st episode of season two of Star Trek: Enterprise, Shockwave Part 2. Music credits: Faith of the Heart/Where My Heart Will Take Me - Written by Diane Warren, performed by Russell Watson, Jerry Lubbock, and the New York Trek Orchestra Archer's Theme - Dennis McCarthy and New York Trek Orchestra === Show Notes Cold Open After Archer disappears, T’Pol offers to drop out of warp so that Silik can come aboard and verify he’s truly not there. Trip protests her foolishness in agreeing to such a thing, only to realize there are no other options and that he was the one who was being truly foolish. Act I Archer and Daniels trapse through the Future Ruins as the Captain becomes increasingly frustrated with the time traveler’s inability or refusal to clarify much about what’s going on. After becoming concerned that it looks like the monument to a federation was never even built, Daniels and Archer make their way to a library. Upon entering, Daniels is surprised to learn that the library is not filled with electronic storage like he expected, but instead good old fashioned paper books that they get to work looking through in order to piece together what went wrong. Back aboard the Enterprise, the Suliban are unable to locate Captain Archer but do detect a temporal signature in the turbolift where he was last seen. The Suliban take control of the Enterprise and the ship warps away. At Starfleet Headquarters, Soval is scolding Admiral Forrest for the fact that Archer and the Enterprise are three days late in following their orders to rendezvous with the Vulcan ship. He tells Starfleet that since it’s obvious that Captain Archer has gone rogue and must be holding T’Pol against her will, he has no option but to send a Vulcan ship to get her back. Act II After taking the Enterprise back to The Helix, Silik finds himself unable to contact Future Guy. While Silik’s buddy strongly advocates for blowing up the Enterprise, Silik advises him to have the surgeons get ready and to deliver him the Vulcan for some drug-assisted interrogating. Daniels’ research in the library has him realizing that taking Archer from the 22nd Century is what caused Daniels’ time to be destroyed, and the only way to fix it is to find a way to return the captain to his own time. Using Archer’s communicator and scanner, Daniels thinks he might have a way to communicate with the past and Archer goes to collect some materials. Trip found a workaround that allows him to use comms, and he reaches Reed and tells him to sit tight until he can get the rest of the crew on the line. T’Pol is returned to her quarters after her being drugged and interrogated by Silik, when a disembodied Archer head appears and tells her that she needs to find a way to make it over to Crewman Daniels’ quarters. Act III A conference call among the Enterprise crew via Trip’s comm system hack has everyone agreeing that the claustrophobic Hoshi is the perfect person to send through a cramped conduit shaft. After swinging by Phlox’s quarters to pick up some hypos, Hoshi shows up at Reed’s quarters topless after a “comedic” series of incidents. Later, T’Pol is feigning craziness in a hallway as some Suliban walk by, and then BOOM -- Enterprise crewmen fall from the sky and knock them out with drugs. Reed makes his way to Daniels’ quarters and pulls out a device from a secret compartment. Upon exiting, he sees some Suliban waiting for him, who proceed to rough him up something fierce. Under pressure, he tells Silik that Archer told him to destroy this device before he left to prevent Silik from contacting someone. After he’s returned to his quarters, T’Pol and Travis successfully take over engineering and initiate a core breach. The Suliban drag the Enterprise away from The Helix and scurry away, and then the Enterprise shuts off all the fireworks and goes into warp. Silik is using the device Reed recovered trying to communicate with Future Man, when the typically stationary fella jumps out of the projection and reveals himself to actually be Archer. Act IV Archer drags Silik out of the room with a gun to his head telling him to call off the ships he sent after Enterprise. The Enterprise itself is taking a helluva pounding, which all stops suddenly, confusing the bridge crew. All of the Suliban vessels break off, save one, which turns out to be carrying Captain Archer and his prisoner Silik. The Enterprise docks with the Vulcan vessel and phone home where Soval tells them that even though they didn’t kill those 3,600 miners, they still kinda suck and should be brought home. Archer gives a speech about gazelles in Africa being better than humans before T’Pol steps in andlaunches some torpedoes of truth about how the Vulcans aren’t that great either. Starfleet will meet to discuss the future of the mission, and holler back at them shortly. Archer shows up in T’Pol’s quarters in the middle of the night wearing his PJs to let her know that everything is awesome and that she’s probably what made the difference. T’Pol still doesn’t believe in time travel.
The Temporal Cold War heats up as Future Man and Silik continue to meddle with Archer's historic mission. The death of 3600 Paraagan colonists rests on Archer's shoulders, the Enterprise is ordered to return to Earth, and Crewman Daniels visits Archer despite shedding his mortal coil earlier this season. Season one of Enterprise wraps up in a big way! Enterprise 1x26 - Shockwave Pt. 1 Directed by Allan Kroeker Written by Rick Berman & Brannon Braga Guest Stars: John Fleck, Matt Winston, Vaughn Armstrong, Breezy There Are Four Mics is a weekly Star Trek podcast discussing the Star Trek episodes and movies in stardate order. Join Chris Keeley, Jason Allen, Joe Heiser as we discuss the 26th episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, Shockwave Pt. 1. Music credits: Faith of the Heart/Where My Heart Will Take Me - Written by Diane Warren, performed by Russell Watson, Jerry Lubbock, and the New York Trek Orchestra Archer's Theme - Dennis McCarthy and New York Trek Orchestra === Show Notes Cold Open The Enterprise approaches a mining colony of a matriarchal society for a visit, while Trip, Archer and T’Pol discuss the possibility of future human settlements as large as the nearly 4,000 people that populate this one. The Enterprise receives the colony’s strict landing protocols, but as the shuttlepod descends to the planet there is an explosion that quickly spreads across the planet. Act I In the medbay, the crew tries to figure out what happened as Trip’s injuries from the explosion are being treated. Hoshi assures the Captain that there is nobody left in the colony to answer because they watched it burn. After all scans and logs show the plasma ducts were closed, but do still show the point of origin for the explosion being directly under the shuttlepod, Archer calls Earth to deliver the bad news to Admiral Forrest. T’Pol requests Phlox keep a close eye on the captain because he’s being emotional, but the doctor assures her that he is behaving naturally for someone dealing with so much grief. Scans of the planet reveal evidence that the atmosphere must have been ignited by a plasma, but Reed remains certain the shuttle’s plasma ducts were closed as ordered. Archer takes Trip and T’Pol into his ready room and informs them that he has heard back Admiral Forrest with the news that the Enterprise mission has been canceled and they have been ordered to return home. Act II T’Pol joins Archer in his quarters to tell him that while there have been some questionable decisions he’s made, there have also been many unimpeachable ones. She advises him to convince Starfleet to continue the Enterprise’s mission, and she will makes the same case with the Vulcan government. Phlox is packing up Medbay while Trip is hollering about how terrible everything is, but Doc maintains faith in humanity’s future. In his quarters, Archer crawls into bed and turns off the light, but turns it on moments to find himself on Earth ten months earlier. Crewman Daniels appears and tells the Captain that he sent him back because the destruction of the mining colony was never recorded in history, so must have been caused by a faction in the Temporal Cold War. Back aboard the Enterprise in the present, Reed brings Archer a device discovered just where the Captain said it would be that was designed to emit a plasma beam. The Captain tells Hoshi to make the coms go on the fritz for a few hours, and reverses course back to the destroyed colony. Act III Archer tells the crew he’s met with Crewman Daniels, and uses the knowledge he gained from that conversation overcome a quantum engineering problem for Trip, and to provide instructions to T’Pol on how to extract Suliban logs from data discs. Reed and Archer enter Crewman Daniels’ old quarters to extract Suliban ship schematics from a toy the time traveler left in his quarters after his last visit. The mysterious flurry of orders Archer issued previously culminate in them locating a cloaked Suliban ship hiding on a nearby planet and disabling it. Trip, Archer and T’Pol board the disabled vessel, taking down a bunch of Suliban. After they retrieve the data disks, they retreat back to their shuttlepod and order the Enterprise to set course for the Vulcan ship as soon as they are aboard. Act IV The Suliban Data disks reveal a cloaked Suliban ship attaching the device responsible for causing the destruction of the mining colony to the shuttlepod. Silik relays the events to Shadowy Future Man, who orders him to capture Archer but let Enterprise continue on its journey. T’Pol stands by her belief that time travel is impossible in spite of seemingly overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Reed calls the captain and Trip to the bridge because something is fishy with their warp field. That something fishy turns out to be a fleet of heavily armed cloaked Suliban vessels. Silik orders the captain to turn himself over, or he’ll destroy the Enterprise. Archer agrees, and leaves T’Pol in command of the ship and Hoshi in command of Porthos. To the puzzlement of the bridge crew, the Suliban hail once again after the captain has left, frustrated that Archer has not turned himself over. The captain exits the turbolift, but he no longer finds himself aboard the Enterprise, but instead amidst the wreckage of a city in the 31st Century. Crewman Daniels appears and tells him there is no way to send him back to his own time.
