Yeah, they've had new episodes for the last couple of weeks.
First was Daedalus, which was about the inventer of the transporter. I thought it was a nice story, but some have complained it was a bit slow.
Than was Obsever Effect, whcih I thought was entertaining, despite the fact that it didn't seem too expensive to make.
Last week was Babel One. I'm going to describe it in more detail, because its part of a mini-arc so you can start watching the second episode on Friday.
SPOILERS
It starts on Shran's ship badly beaten up. He sends a message to the Andorian Imperial Guard that they were attacked by the Tellarites, than he gives the order to abandon ship.
Meanwhile, on the Enterprise, Archer welcomes aboard some Tellarite diplomats. They are escorting them to the planetoid known as Babel for a hopeful peace conference with the Andorians. Only the Enterprise can escort them because its across Andorian space and the Andorians don't trust the Tellarites. Archer is told that, in order to win the respect of the Tellarites, he has to insult them back when they insult him. The Tellarites come aboard and start complaining about everything (they find the ship small and unimpressive, Archer responds that he thought the same about them).
They intercept a distress signal and rescue Shran's ship. Out of a crew of 80-something, only 19 survived. Luckily, Shran and Talas (the hot Andorian chick who was seen last season) also survived. Shran accuses the Tellarites of attacking him, they, of course, deny it. Than the Enterprise is attacked by what appears to be an Andorian ship. Although Shran is reluctant at first, the fact that the ship won't stop firing convinces him to help. Unfortunately, his advice has no effect. Even so, the ship heads off a little bit later.
Archer decides to track it down and comes across this creepy thing with lots of subspace recievers and a few other odd things lying dead in space. They beam Trip, Reed, and a couple of MACOs onto the thing in space suits, because the life support system is inoperative. Soon, the thing comes alive again and attacks the Enterprise. They manage to beam the MACOs back, leaving, of course, two vital ship officers.
They manage to escape the ship and discover that it was the same ship that attacked them earlier, and the Tellarite ship that attacked Shran (because it has the same power signiture). Apparently, it is able to hide its identity. They also discover its a Romulan ship. Shran doesn't necessarily want to believe this and tries to sneak to the Tellarite's loccation and get information at gunpoint. Archer manages to stop him.
On the Romulan ship, they manage to reconfigure some conduit to produce oxygen to refill their space suits, but it seems that the ship itself doesn't have life support. They are trying to find their way to the bridge. We cut to a scene on the bridge, where the Romulans discover they are there. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a guy in a chair with a big thing on his head in the middle of the room. They don't want them to reach the bridge, possibly preparing to self-distruct the ship if they have to. The two wonder until they reach the bridge door.
They open it up.
And find it is empty.
The scene cuts to the Romulans in an area that looks very similar.
The camera pulls back so we're looking at them through a window.
The camera pulls back more, and we see that they are on Romulus
To Be Continued...
