Season 3 – In response to steadily falling ratings, Berman & Braga decided to get topical and to try something different for season 3. (For the record, Star Trek Guide loves that one.) First contact with the Romulans is depicted in “Minefield” (#3), and the single most divisive episode in Star Trek history is certainly “A Night in Sickbay” (#5). “Carbon Creek” (#2) is an absolutely outstanding story about Vulcans stranded in 1950s America and is probably the single best Enterprise episode. Season 2 of Enterprise is unfortunately much of the same as the debut year, again starting strong and petering out rapidly. “Cold Front” debuts the time-traveling character Daniels, who would return repeatedly to the show in its four seasons. Among these we may include “The Andorian Incident” (episode #7), which reintroduces the Andorian (you know, the blue dudes with antennae) and specifically the hot-headed Tholos, who would become an ally of the Enterprise.
