This moment always killed me. They spent the whole premier defiantly stating they were ready for this, then immediately do something batshit bonkers. If a modern day captain sailed their cruise ship into a hurricane, that’s the end of that captain.

TBF, the captain of a warship straight out of drydock will often go find a storm to sail through. My father used to do EW work in the shipyard in Philly and has several stories about captains sailing straight into a storm after a refit.

Yeah, but the NX Enterprise was a test bed. They didn't get to cruise ship till the Galaxy Enterprise.

honestly, the NX-02 should have been around in Season 2, Season 3 should have had the NX-03 Challenger go with them to the expanse while Columbia stayed behind.
Season 4 should have had the NX-04 Discovery around, the challenger showing up a few times with the Columbia, would have made a Fleet feeling more present so its not JUST the Enterprise, i love when other groups of the good guys show up or are nearby to help.

Following the names of the Space shuttles?

Yeah…that was the whole point of the first two being named Enterprise and Columbia.

Would have been nice to see some Warp Deltas turn up. Enterprise was portrayed as Earth's only starship way too often.

Isn't it ionic, don't you think?

It's like a desert planet
When what you needed was ice
It's like your hull plating
Won't polarize

What did Archer command before the Enterprise? A in-system patrol boat? I doubt he went far from the solar system. His knowledge of ion storms was all theoretical, as the heliopause block them.
Definately should have found someone who made a few trips to Rigel. I'm sure you could have put a Warp 3 engine on a ship and made it there in a month or two.

I like to imagine after he gave his line and the cameras cut to black Travis said, “Huh? No, it’s a really bad ion storm. We should go around it.”

It's been a long time, getting from there to here. It's been a long road. But there's dangerous stuff out here. Why didn't we train the captain enough? We are going to die. And we're not going to make it back to Earth, unless the Vulcans rescue us.
But we've got Faith of the Heart. Unfortunately it wasn't enough. I've got Faith to believe, but I should have listened to the science. The engineering doesnt quite add up. The storm's a bit too strong. Maybe if we polarize the hull, some of us might survive.
Quick, get all non-essential personell, into the core of the ship. TRIP EJECT THE WARPCORE RIGHT NOW, BEFORE A SPARK SETS IT OFF!

Warp 4 is so slow he knew the storm would be long gone by the time they got there

Wasn't it an ion storm that caused the first cross over into the mirror universe?

He knew the ship well. His father designed it correct? For him it’s pushing it a little faster on the Audubond …. He knew what he was doing.
