[ENT] Season 3, Episode 1: The Xindi
Rating: 3
We get our first real look at the Xindi and more of a glimpse into the expanse. The concept of there being five different Xindi species is introduced, we meet the military on Enterprise and how professional they act, we see how people in this region are treacherous and ruthless, and we get a hint about the anomalies that are to come. Overall it’s a fun episode and continues the excitement from last season’s finale.

Notes:
The Xindi! They have a council that’s discussing what to do about Enterprise entering the expanse
One of them looks like he wedged himself inside a big slinky
Enterprise has a new command room. In some obvious exposition, Archer explains the purpose of the room in detail in order to point out to Reed that it isn’t working.
There’s military people on board now. Hoshi can tell one of them was from Duluth by the way he talks.
Some cargo sticks to the wall. Whatever is happening, I guess it doesn’t effect Archer and Trip who are a few feet away. They explain that certain areas of the expanse are worse in terms of anomalies. As they go deeper in, things will get worse
Phlox tells T’Pol that she needs to help Trip with her Vulcan-massage tricks because he’s feeling depressed and can’t sleep
They go to a mining facility because they heard a Xindi worked there. They want to ask him where is home-world is located
The guy in charge wants latinum in it’s liquified form
They find the Xindi guy and they find out everyone there is a slave, and also now Archer and Trip are trapped
Major Hayes, T’Pol, and Reed come up with a plan to rescue them, but Reed and Hayes butt heads on who gets to go
The Xindi guy says there are 5 Xindi species
Hayes’ people do a good job with the rescue
The Xindi guy dies but he gave the coordinates for his home-world
T’Pol and Trip have their first Vulcan neuropressure session.
When they get to the coordinates they find that the planet was destroyed
