“Azati Prime” 20th-anniversary reflections
It’s been a long road, but the Enterprise finally arrives at Azati Prime, home to the Xindi weapon construction site. While Trip and Travis go deep-diving for the Xindi weapon, Hoshi learns the ins-and-outs of a bug’s life as she prepares Archer for some insectoid discourse. Meanwhile, a celebration of sorts is happening among the Xindi as they mark the completion of their weapon. But not everyone is happy. Dolim the reptile certainly isn’t, and he takes out his impatience and anger on Archer and the Enterprise itself, which is moments away from destruction when the credits roll.
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Azati Prime” as we discuss the turning point in the Xindi arc, Archer's trip to the future, how the conflict comes into focus, T'Pol under pressure, and more.
