The Xindi

Star Trek, Enterprise, Season 03 - premiered on Wednesday, September 10, 2003

Six weeks into their mission into the Delphic Expanse, the Enterprise crew is on edge - thus far, they’ve managed to follow only a single lead. The crew is also growing accustomed to the presence of Military Assault Command Operations (MACO) troops aboard the Enterprise. Captain Archer and Trip work a questionable deal with an alien who claims to have a Xindi prisoner, and when the two Enterprise officers finally meet their first living Xindi, they become prisoners too - and now they have to rely on their enemy to help them escape. They’ll also need some help from the MACOs…if Lt. Reed can be convinced that the rescue mission would be best handled by commandos rather than Enterprise’s own security forces.

Season 3 Regular Cast: Scott Bakula (Captain Jonathan Archer), Jolene Blalock (Subcommander T’Pol), John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox), Dominic Keating (Lt. Malcolm Reed), Anthony Montgomery (Ensign Travis Mayweather), Linda Park (Ensign Hoshi Sato), Connor Trinneer (Commander Charles “Trip” Tucker III)

Anomaly

Star Trek, Enterprise, Season 03 - premiered on Wednesday, September 17, 2003

A spatial anomaly disrupts the structure of the Enterprise itself, just before a well-armed raiding party boards the ship, attacking the crew and robbing supplies from the Enterprise’s cargo bays. The raider vessel, apparently unaffected by the anomaly, slips into an even denser field of spatial disruption apparently unharmed. Archer orders a pursuit course, which damages the Enterprise even further. He intends not only to secure the secret of passing through the anomaly unharmed for the Enterprise, but to retrieve the stolen items and put the raiders out of business. But when a single prisoner is captured who could give him the means to do this, how far will Archer go to get the man to cooperate?

Guest Cast: Nathan Anderson (Sergeant Kemper), Robert Rusler (Orgoth), Julia Rose (McKenzie), Kenneth A. White (Engineering Crewman), Ken Lally (Security Guard #1), Ryan Honey (Security Guard #2)

Notes: Robert Rusler, though he’s barely recognizable here, is remembered by Babylon 5 fans as ill-fated hotshot pilot Warren Keffer from the second season.

Extinction

Star Trek, Enterprise, Season 03 - premiered on Wednesday, September 24, 2003

Studying a planet in the Expanse at close range, an Enterprise landing party mutates into more primitive forms of life. The cause of this condition is a virus which has now infected Archer, Reed, Hoshi and even T’Pol. The human crew members are transformed, exhibiting a personalities from a virological archive of an alien civilization. But by the time Archer and the others can gain an understanding of what has taken control of them, they have traveled to an ancient alien temple - where a group of hunters, who don’t seem eager to help the crew or Dr. Phlox find a cure, is waiting for them.

written by Andrè Bormanis
directed by LeVar Burton
music by Velton Ray Bunch

Guest Cast: Craig Baxley Jr. (Decon Agent #1), Philip Boyd (Com Officer), Daniel Dae Kim (Corporal Chang), Roger Cross (Tret), Kiante Elam (Alien Humanoid), Troy Mittleider (Palmer), Jimmy Ortega (Decon Agent #3), Keith Schindol (Decon Agent #2), Brian Williams (Stunt Alien Decon Agent)

Notes: Guest star Jimmy Ortega’s other Star Trek appearance goes all the way back to the beginning of the post-movie era - he had a brief part in Encounter At Farpoint as an Enterprise bridge officer frozen solid by Q.
