Twilight

When Sci Fy series Dabble with Timelines they seem to think anything goes.

With extension this episode is awesome.

THIS is what Enterprise was all about. Just the right balance of ingredients that was put together extremely well. A real delight to view. No cheap episode long STROBE lighting effects to totally ruin an episode.

There was such a good plot & overall script, with many twists & developments, great dialogue and spectacular action, the Production crew got this one just right. Were almost every episode of Enterprise similar to this one it would never have been 'canned' at 4 seasons.

Yes really good, congratulations to all concerned it was great sci-fi, not many Star Trek episodes that I have seen in any of the Genre's are better than this particular episode, kept me riveted all the way along.

This episode had a special FEEL & edge to it. I found it exiting & thrilling to watch. Well worth 8.8 stars. So as I could see a real effort was made to make this episode as good as it was I'll give a full 9 stars.

Twilight is an important episode in the evolution of Captain Archer and T'Pol's characters. However, it is unclear, throughout most of the episode whether any part of what we are seeing is actually happening. This ambiguity is a big part of the plot, but it almost feels as if the writers wanted to experiment around with a few new ideas but wanted the option to take them back if they interfered with the series' arcs or overall development.

Most of the episode involves what MIGHT be an alternative future where extra-dimensional bacteria associated with the anomalies in the expanse have infected Archer's brain and he has either become extremely delusional or he has lost his anchor in his own time as well as his ability to create new memories.

Although cleverly plotted, there are quite a few logical inconsistencies in the story - but these depend upon which of the alternative explanations hold. And, to avoid a spoiler, I can say no more.

Acting - terrific. Cinematography and Directing (by Tom Paris!) - good. Script - better than average for Enterprise.

Worth a careful viewing.

Having watched every episode of every Star Trek series (except Deep Space 9) I've landed on Enterprise as my favorite series, and Twilight is the best episode of the Enterprise series.

While Twilight left out part of the story of the relationship between Archer and T-Pol it was great to see one example of what might have happened between them. To me their relationship as captain and science officer was the key to the series.

Somehow the Enterprise series sits better with me than all of the other series. Not that any of them weren't good in their own right. I like the tone of Enterprise, and I really like that this series is a prequel showing how things got started.

While the Enterprise is under a wave of anomalies, T'Pol is wounded in a corridor and Captain Archer refuses to leave her behind, being hit by another anomaly. After the examination of Dr. Phlox, he realizes that Archer has lost his short memory since his brain has been infected by alien parasites from another space-time. Twelve years later, T'Pol tells Archer again how he lost his commission in Enterprise and the Xindis had destroyed Earth and the human race. Meanwhile, Dr. Phlox pays a visit to the colony where they are living to tell him that he should return to the Enterprise for a possible new-developed treatment that may destroy the parasites.

"Twilight" is the most ambiguous and one of the best episodes of the series. The original and engaging screenplay with an the open conclusion is magnificent, with great performances. My vote is nine.
