[ENT] Season 1, Episode 18 (Netflix: S1 E17): Rogue Planet
Rating: 1
–
A non-compelling mystery, no great character moments, and boring concepts make this episode completely unnecessary. It isn’t terribly boring, or annoying, it just doesn’t have much going in its favor.

There is a rogue planet outside of a solar system. That’s kind of cool
Archer says he could land shuttlepods with his eyes closed. That might be the first reference to his pilot past
This episode features a weird rivalry between Archer and Reed which wasn’t happening in prior episodes and I’m pretty sure doesn’t come up again
One-eye night vision. I bet they thought that was pretty cool
In the last scene T’Pol picked up something on her scan thing, they all turned their flashlights off, and turned their night vision on. Now they just turn their flashlights back on. It’s almost as if it’s not really night vision and it’s just something they thought would look cool on their eyes
I guess dorky glowing eyewear is a requirement on this planet
An episode about hunters. Something seems a little off about them. I wish Troi was here to tell us if they’re hiding something
These aliens use “dozens” as a term of measurement just like humans! What are the odds
Archer keeps seeing a lady in the forest
If they are going to pick an actor to play a character that we aren’t supposed to know is bad, then they probably shouldn’t pick an actor with the most gravelly and sly voice I’ve ever heard
They have to say goodbye. Thats touching…
…But her turning into a sad slug and crawling away makes it not so touching
