T'Pol may answer the question of what familiar Star Trek location is being shot in Hawaii for the next film. With her statement in this story that she was pursuing Menos in the tropical zone of Risa .

Season 2 had some really good episodes but 'The Seventh' was not the best.  :(
I just couldn't believe T'Pol had been part of a Vulcan Special Forces unit before changing career fields to science and for a trained killer she seems pretty vulnerable.   
My guess they needed a story for Archer and T'Pol to bond.

Favorites from season 2;
*'Minefield' We get a first look at a Romulan ship.
*'Judgment' a Klingon episode with a visit back to Rura Penthe.
*'First Flight' an early NX program story where Trip and Archer meet.

...And then there's 'Regeneration'.
A controversial episode with TNG fans, T'Pol has a strong roll were she echoes Spock as he warned Kirk about his friend Gary Mitchell - she advises Archer to abandon the crew of the ship he is chasing.

Enterprise did a lot to expand on the known aliens of the time.

If there were a season 5 the plan was that T'Pol would discover she was half Romulan. =8-O

half romulan? what??? aww now i wish there were a 5th season!

Me too, that would have been awesome.

"There were also hopes for an episode in which T'Pol would finally meet her father and discover that he was in fact a Romulan agent who had posed as a Vulcan officer prior to faking his own death. The revelation that T'Pol was half-Romulan would have shed light on her affinity for humanity and as well as her interest in experimenting with emotions"

Wow this all sounds great. I miss Enterprise! :)

Davekill - the reported Hawaii location for Trek movie filming is not a familiar Trek location.  The familiar Trek location is supposed to be filming at a museum in L.A.

I actually think this is still a pretty solid episode.  As far as other second season Enterprise episodes, I've covered most of the ones you mentioned on the podcast previously.  But of course, I'm always open to new suggestions for future shows.  :)

Is there enough interest for a Babylon 5 episode review?

Bester and the psi-corps would be an interesting topic.

I've covered "Babylon 5" back on podcast #172.  I don't typically do individual podcast episode reviews of other series besides Trek.  But you are welcome to do a guest host spot sometime if you would like.  Hint - hint.  :)

Cool, I'll do 60 minutes and FTP the file so you can use it as a fill-in.

Im going to listen to it at work today. I love Enterprise, warts and all.
