The Temporal Cold War Begins | TREKNOPOD Ep. 62

Enterprise’s “Cold Front” finally pulls us back into the Temporal Cold War—Silik “saves” Archer, Daniels shows up from the future, and nobody knows who to trust.
We break down S1E11 scene by scene: what Silik actually prevents, why Daniels’ evidence vanishes, how this episode reframes Season 1, and the deliciously unresolved ending.

In this TreknoPod rewatch, Captains Shoff, Vactor, and Linda Paiges debate time-travel rules, Vulcan skepticism, Archer’s “John” problem, Robert Duncan McNeill’s direction, and how Cold Front connects to later Trek (Discovery’s 32nd century, Starfleet Academy chatter, etc.). We also share trivia (Matt Winston’s lineage), favorite character beats (Phlox supremacy), and the hilarious chair-adjustment fiasco on the bridge.
