Nov 23 | Chuck returns to NBC with a special two-hour show on Sunday, Jan 10, 2010, before returning to its regular time slot, Mondays at 8pm on the following night.

This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show.

Excellent Trek, period
By 7 of 34

This is one of those episodes that, for me, instantly made it to my All Time Favorite Trek Episodes list. OK, I don't have one, but you get the idea.

This ep had all of what I like most about Star Trek (forgive my crude formatting attempt):

-->how people, humans in particular, deal with extraordinary situations
----Seeing the crew struggle to keep Enterprise from falling apart
----The emotional and physical toll the overall mission takes on the crew, especially Archer & Trip
----The crew lining up for ration packs was a nice touch
-->Solid drama and acting
----The emotional scene between Trip and T'Pol was perfect, both in acting and story content. I have NO problems with Trip's seemingly sudden grieving over his sister's death; delayed/oppressed grief is all too common among us Humans
----Trinneer did a masterful job throughout the ep, and Blaylock did a fine job as well
----The tenseness and fragility of the interplay between Archer and Degra was palpable
----Trip's open hostility to Degra, Degra's resulting anguish, and Archer's duty to ensure that the delicate alliance with Degra not be jeopardized
----Nice bits of humor too (Trip & Phlox, T'Pol and her pepperoni pizza)
-->Compelling story
----Many elements of the Xindi arc came together nicely, and in complex ways
----Similarly, plot undertones from previous episodes came back in relevant ways
-->Character continuity
----Archer's growing sense of urgent determination driven by certain doom, coupled with the burden of recent hard command decisions made to get this far
----T'Pol's detox seems wrapped up (thanks for that), while her ability to keep her emotions under control over the long-term still seems questionable
----The use of Trip's writing a letter to a fallen colleague's parents to draw out his own grief was clever, and very well done
-->Plot developments
----Archer, Degra, and the Xindi Arboreal's tentative alliance
----Degra's decision to destroy the Reptilian warship (they may have their differences, but Degra still killed his own people)
----Enterprise is still very much in danger as a result of the vicious attack in "Azati Prime"
-->Well-done FX
----Enterprise looks like hell (inside and out), and nearly incapable of sustaining both warp and its crew (much worse than VOY's "Year of Hell", although the door to Archer's ready room got fixed pretty quickly)
----The plasma leak was nicely done too; the spacewalking looked better than in other eps

So, all in all, this was one of the best Trek episodes, and stands on it's own among all of the other series. Enterprise seems to be getting better and better. Now if only more people would just watch, they'd find that they've been missing good Trek....

Never stop seeking that which seems unattainable.
