bad episode all around

My first review of a Star Trek Enterprise episode. In fact, after 50+ years of watching Star Trek in all its incarnations, this is my only review of ANY Star Trek series episode. Just felt like it was time. I'm an original series fan, along with Next Generation and what I consider to be the best of the Star Trek universe, Deep Space Nine. Never thought much of ST Voyager. Sorry Voyager fans.

After viewing most of Enterprise 4 seasons back when it was originally broadcast, I came away unimpressed. For the last month or so I've been binge watching this specific ST series on Hulu. It seems the second time around, 15 years later, I came away slightly more impressed. Just not totally convinced it was really worth my time. (ha,ha) And especially after binge watching Deep Space Nine over the holidays. Oh well. Season 1 of Enterprise was good. Season 2 was okay. Season 3 was fun to watch but seemed like a bad rip off of Deep Space Nine. And now we have season 4.

Daedalus was a bad episode all around. One thing I finally figured out and the main reason for this review. Captain Archer is unstable. He lost it early in season 3 and never fully recovered. He acts like a man not in control of his emotions. At times, he's totally whacked out! Archer definitely was not made in the mold off Kirk, Picard, Sisko or even Janeway. This has hurt the Enterprise series overall.

Trivia
The title refers to a Greek artisan who angered the Gods and escaped with his son using wings made of feathers and wax. His son, Icarus, flew toward the sun, his wings melted and he fell from the sky and was killed.

Goofs
Archer is talking to Emory, and recites a quote that his father told him before entering flight school. However, in Cold Station 12 (2004) or The Augments (2004), Archer tells Phlox that his father died when he was age 12.

Quotes
Commander T'Pol: Kir'Shara is having an enormous impact.
Dr. Phlox: It's clearly had an impact on you. You, er... seem more certain of yourself.
Commander T'Pol: I've never felt less certain.
Dr. Phlox: Erm... You're reexamining your core beliefs. Something most people never do.
