Default Shoot me. I hated Borderland.

Well, hated is rather strong. I was bored by it. I found myself looking at my watch, wondering if it was over yet.

I was unimpressed with the 'Augments'. As villians, I didn't care about them, much the same way I didn't care about the Suliban or the Xindi. Their scenes were...uninteresting when compared to the story the Enterprise was going on. And I'll say it right now, I thought the story with the Orions was much more interesting than Enterprise's flimsy excuse to go after these 'outlaws'.

And, of course, with Manny 'I can't be assed to double check my scripts for basic logic' Coto writing the episode, you know there has to be...oddities in the script. This one was only slightly less incoherant than his The Council story.

Three years ago, a Klingon soldier was being hunted by the Suliban in a cornfield. And admiral at the time had no idea who the Klingons were. We needed Earth's fastest ship to take this Klingon to his homeworld to prevent something-or-other. In Borderland, we find out that seventeen years ago, Arik Soong was a neighbor of the Klingons.

The Klingons are threatening war. After everything that Jonathan Archer has done to them, they're finally trying to decide to declare war on humainity. So, we're going to hunt their fugatives for them? And, we think this is going to make them friendly again?

My favorite line occured in the beginning of the episode. Archer is talking to Soong about the attack on the Klingon ship and Soong replies "I know. I've read the reports." Huh?
