Episode Title: Terra Nova
Director: LeVar Burton
Writer(s): Rick Berman & Brannon Braga
Wikipedia Synopsis:An early human colony on Terra Nova mysteriously disappeared 70 years ago and Enterprise is sent to find out what happened to them.
Guest Stars of Note: space Indians/barbarians/road warrior-y people
Impressions: So, Earth's first deep space colony went dark 70 years before Enterprise started their mission and we discover that the survivors of Terra Nova moved into underground tunnels, made highly refined and detailed D&D type leather armor, created a sort of ancestor worship type social structure, and completely forgot that they were humans. That's a lot of stuff in a mere 70 years.
Once again they find a planet that seems dangerous so Archer decides he should go down... he was a bad choice for this mission I think.
Reed gets shot in the leg by a space barbarian and spends most of this episode sitting around in a cave wincing... so... glad he's in charge of the whole combat side of things.
Phlox cures a space barbarian of cancer in a couple of hours because... space medicine. Not that I'm all that bothered by this because Phlox also gives some space barbarians the stink eye in this episode and it's the best performance of the hour.
The end of this episode has a whole lot of, "Trust me," "Now you trust me," crap in it.
The space barbarians have some pretty sweet tribal face paint.
Oh yeah, SPACE ARMADILLOS!
Score: 1 of 3 Space Armadillos
