Impossible to say. He's missing when he's there.

It's not like they had anyone to talk to.

From: "E Jones" <earl_jones@usa.net>Weak episode, IMHO. Reminded me of "The Ultimate Computer" (TOS) in
which
another seriously brilliant scientist (Daystrom) is brought down by his
inner demons.

kinda slow, but not the worst show i have seen for this series.

From: Ian McFarlane <mackiedoo@o...>Mayweather was around in at least one bridge scene (along with Hoshi)
Quite honestly, even Reed was underutilized this time around.
The most underused characters in the show are indeed Mayweather and
Hoshi although each in the past have gotten episoded where there
characters were the focus.
They do need to mix it up a bit more.
Bakula is very, very good as Archer but it's an ensemble cast after all.

From: "Stuart" <stuart@i...>As for as transporting over vast distances is concerned some alien
intelligence does that in the original Star Trek. Their transporter
also worked as a time machine.
Wasn't there a Next Generation episode involving rescueing people lost
in a transporter malfunction?

Mayweather had one scene where he did helmsmany things and probably
said "Aye sir." Hoshi was in the background for that shot. There
was little need for their specialties in this episode, so it's
probably good for the story that they got shorted on screen time.

I agree with your analysis--I thought it was a good episode, even though
there weren't any aliens or space dogfights or anything.

She appeared for a brief moment, looking at Malcom, I think.
No speaking.

A quick peck on the lips. From the way the episode went,
looks like she'll be back sometime later on.
Maybe a romance for
Archer?

No, if you want a story that's a rehash of TOS' "The Ultimate Computer"
with
bits of "The Tholian Web" and DS9's "The Visitor" lumped in, THEN this
episode
was for you.
After not watching the show since the fourth of fifth epiosde of the
season, I
came back this year to see the Brent Spiner episodes and the recent
Vulcan
trilogy. Bringing Judy and Gar Reeves-Stevens on board was the smartest
thing
TPTB have done in a long, long time. I'm still pretty lost on the
overall
story arcs, but the show seems to have improved. If "Daedalus,"
however, is
typical of what ENT is doing now I won't stick around for long. It was
pleasant, but ultimately dull and derivative of Treks past.
Archer's proving to be at least as dumb a captain as Janeway (which I
didn't
think was possible), so now we know where she got her command style
from. I
don't believe Kirk, Picard or Sisko would risk their entire crews in a
ill-advised recue of an old family friend like that. At least they went
on to
mention that Dr. Daystrom, er, Emory rather, would be facing
consequences as a
result of his folly (I mean, his lie did cause someone's death after
all!).
Worse thatn Archer's actions, however, is watching Scott Bakula squint
and pace
through yet another episode. It's all he does: Squint and pace.
Squint and
pace. Someone needs to tell him to stop.
It just all seemed really predicatable to me. I knew the kid wasn't
going to
survive, because if he lives there's no drama and there's no lesson for
Emory
to have learned. Once you've made that realization, there's really very
little
point in the episode. I missed the explanation as to how the
transporter
"ghost' (or whatever you want to call it) was so deadly to anything it
came
into contact with. Rupturing parts of the ship or melting a guy's face
off?
That's pretty serious! How did that happen?
