Horizon

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When Enterprise diverts to investigate an unusual planetary phenomenon near Earth, Mayweather visits his family after the sudden death of his father, a cargo ship captain. But his return to his old home, the ECS Horizon, is complicated by family tension. He clashes with his brother, the ship’s new captain, and pirates attack the ship. Meanwhile, Archer and Trip invite a reluctant T’Pol for movie night to see Frankenstein and find her reaction surprising. She says she will suggest Ambassador Soval show the movie to every Vulcan newly arrived on Earth.

Our Take

It’s nice to finally get a Mayweather episode, even if the family drama is pretty predictable stuff about a son who left and a brother holding a grudge. The pirate shootout gives the second half some energy, but the Frankenstein movie night with T’Pol is honestly the best part. A serviceable hour that coasts on charm more than actual plot. Fine, but skippable.
