Earth year 2151
The Enterprise is given its first mission to take a Klingon wounded by a farmer with a plasma rifle, home to Qo'noS,. Of course things dont go as planned and the Enterprise stumbles onto a "Temporal Cold War". We meet the crew, have some tense moments on a rough planet and see some sexy green chicks. This intro to the new series was pure star trek win!
As it turns out Captain Archer's father was the designer of the Warp 5 engine that powers the Enterprise (Nx-01)and its 90 years since Zefram Cochrane's historic first warp flight and first contact. Apparently the Vulcan's have been holding back just enough information to keep us from taking the next step to interstellar exploration.
I like the way things are going, The Enterprise is very submarine like, there are no Shields only armor plating; Transporters are a new concept and the very first space battle is with three 'fighter' type craft and the Enterprise is out gunned and forced to run away. The humans have next to no experience with other species and seem very uncomfortable the fist time the set foot on alien soil.
And I must say this scene depicts the true soul of Star Trek: Politics, Sci-Fi and Sex.
