The NBC pilot has been described as a mix between "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "The Bourne Identity." The original report is at the Hollywood Reporter.

STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE is about to get a heavy dose of ST:TOS. With stories involving the Eugenics Wars, 'Arik Soong', a Vulcan Civil War, and the creator of the transporter already coming up, the series plans a huge homage to the original series in the episode "Babel One." TrekWeb has obtained some early plot information on the episode, which seems to contain elements reminiscient of two classic episodes: "Journey to Babel" and "Balance of Terror."
The episode picks up as Enterprise hosts a Tellarite delegation to a conference on behalf of Starfleet and an organization called the United Earth Council, presumeably on the planet Babel One. Lead by Ambassador 'Gral', 'Archer' quickly impresses his guest with customary byplay, and a reception is held for the Tellarite party. Similar to "Journey to Babel," a large spread of alien foods plays backdrop to underlying tensions between the human crew and the visitors. When the Tellarites insist on the room's temperature being pushed up to uncomfortable levels, 'Trip' is near his last nerve.
Archer's patience is thinning too, as Gral openly questions whether humans can be trusted to mediate a dispute between the Tellarites and the Andorians, who Gral points out were integral in saving Earth from the Xindi. Archer assures Gral of Earth's neutral interest in resolving the dispute and Gral, for the moment, is satisfied.
But soon the ship comes across an Andorian debris field and 'Shran' suggests that the Tellarites are responsible. When Archer confronts Gral with sensor data, the rotund ambassador is defiant and insists Andorian ships are more powerful than Tellarites'. MACOs start guarding the Tellarites' quarters, convincing Gral and his party that the humans have sided with their Andorian adversaries.
Another twist lies, however, as the villains from "Balance of Terror" are waiting in the wings. A Romulan Commander 'Valdore' rushes to make repairs to his damaged ship, the "pride" of the Romulan fleet (just as in the classic TOS episode starring Mark Lenard as the Romulan Commander). If they can't mount an acceptable defense, Valore will have to self-destruct his vessel to prevent its capture. He soon learns, however, that Trip and Reed (who somehow have made it aboard the Romulan ship) are sabotaging the vessel. Meanwhile, back on Enterprise, Shran himself has shown up to raise the tensions (and stakes) even further.
This information is preliminary and subject to change. Until confirmed as always, cum grano salis. "Babel One" will air in 2005.
