On a nuts-and-bolts level my only real objection is that the storyline hasn't been given enough attention. So surprise, surprise: the Enterprise "arc" is about time travel. When he was hired as a writer for 24's seventh season, I genuinely had a suspicion Jack Bauer was going to get stuck in a time loop or something. He subsequently worked as executive producer and head writer on Flash Forward and Terra Nova. Braga is the writer of such timey-wimey Trek classics as "Future Imperfect", "A Matter of Time", "Cause and Effect", "Timescape", "All Good Things", Star Trek: First Contact, "Flashback" and "Future's End". Given that Enterprise was co-created by Brannon Braga, it seems inevitable that the series would soon fall into time travel shenanigans. At the same time the Suliban operative Silik has infiltrated the ship, and is on the hunt for the temporal agent. While the Enterprise encounters a travelling group of pilgrims waiting for a stellar flare, one of Archer's crew reveals he's from 900 years into the future and has been working undercover on the ship for the past few months to fight in a 'temporal cold war'. It's finally back, arguably quite a bit late for me to fully care as much as I should. Remember that huge open plot thread that Enterprise opened way back in its pilot episode? Temporal cold war, the Suliban, mysterious shadowy figures manipulating.
