All I can say is:

Well, that was...unexpected.  Quite well done.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

I think "Alien Nazis" sums it up pretty well.

Well, it probably stems from the fact that 99% of the populace instantly recognizes Nazis as being evil and bent on dastardly deed that Star Trek Captains are Honor bound to stop.

There's not really anything spoilerish about the episode.  But I'll sum up the important bits:
Spoiler:

1.  Shran saved the day, Archer owes him now(this is some Andorian Life Debt thing I think)

2.  Daniels reveals that the Xindi plotline takes place 7 years before the Federation Charter is signed by Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites.  Archer signed on behalf of Earth.

3.  Somehow, the Aquatic ship that returned Enterprise to Earth traveled back in time some 215~216 years into the past, dropped Enterprise and then left, without realizing that they too were trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were...(sorry about that, wrong show:ha: )

We get left with the following bag:

Enterprise, depsite Trip's best, needs a few months in Spacedock to be her old self, she's in pieces.

Archer's survived the blast and somehow ended up in a Nazi field hospital, he may be a villian next season courtesy the "Amnesia Effect".  He's also apparently very badly burned, though he looked like he had ketchup on his forehead.

Trip and Mayweather are decending toward 194x San Francisco in a shuttlepod, they get a signal and when they respond, are fired at by a flight of 3 P-51 "Mustangs"

There is an Alien, possibly many, of some variety helping the Nazis.

Yup, I was about ready to post that.

Remans in Nazi Germany.

Earth-Romulan war here we come! :)

Anyways, it was great that the Andorians showed up to save the day. Overall, a fun episode.

I don't know about that... he could be, but what the ****?

Could just be a look alike. You know, how the Enterprise is really an Akira? etc.

Ace: Ah, yes. Romulan War... that would make sense... minus the Nazi part. :wtf:

No, what ever he is he is not a &$%#ing Reman.  For one thing the head is too small, Reman heads are huge.

Remans don't have red eyes anyway... has anyone watched Star Trek: Nemesis? There's lots of Remans in there.

Well most likely we'll find out that future boy pulled Archer out of the explosion and pulled Enterprise back in time because he needs someone else to do his dirty work.

I'm almost willing to bet that shadowy figure dude is behind the Remans/Romulans being involved in WW2. Most likely something to do with weakening any future alliance between humans and Vulcans, ensuring that the Romulans win.

I'm certain he's a Reman, the eyes, coloration of the makeup, and the ears (from what could be seen) all match. Hrmm, turns out I'm wrong about the eye bit if Ulala is right. I'm still betting he's Reman though.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Reman. I recorded the episode, I could watch it and pop in ST:Nemesis to double check if you like.

Ok, this is the best shot I could get of a Reman, it's Shinzon's Viceroy from ST:N...



Anyway, Remans have yellow eyes, and their eyes are deep in their skull, and I checked the Enterprise alien at the end, he had red eyes and his eyes weren't deep in his skull, they were closer to the surface like our own. Pretty sure that guy wasn't Reman, unless the budget couldn't handle the same kind of make up, but some how I doubt they'd make them look that different. Who knows.. :confused:
