Archer and Mayweather find themselves detained in a Suliban internment camp.
I enjoyed this episode as both a story and social message, although the writers were making some of the dialogue bit too explicit with the episode themes.
Dean Stockwell otherwise known as Scott Bakula's 'Quantum Leap' time jumping guide Al, plays the episode's primary antagonist with a fairly complex moral outlook. The former co-stars work well together due to their established chemistry. At one point I half expected Stockwell to take out his handheld device say "Sorry Sam, Ziggy says there's a 99% chance you'll be stuck in this place till the end of the episode!"
Most characters give a pretty decent contribution to this one. Aboard the Enterprise Trip gives his expected emotional hardline response and T'Pol plays Sub-Commander Sensible as always. I was particularly pleased to see Travis with better material than he usually gets. Anthony Montgomery gives his most accomplished performance of the series so far, particularly in his challenge of the Suliban about their preconceptions of humans.
From a geeky perspective there is some good use of the transporters and no obvious issues with franchise continuity. However there are some continuity issues within the episode itself regarding the physical environment, but you can't have everything.
