Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Archer and his colleagues at ISIS wish they had never voyaged to the final frontier in an effort to prevent a catastrophe on the International Space Station.

Our Take

The space arc sticks the landing, mostly because it commits fully to the bit instead of coasting on zero-gravity gags. The mutiny storyline gives everyone something funny to do, and the finale gets surprisingly ambitious for a show this lazy about continuity. A few jokes run long and the pacing sags in the middle, but the closing twist is worth it. Solid end to a fun two-parter.
