 Fortune Son. Star Trek Enterprise.
The remainder of the episode was a little predictable, and in some ways reminiscent of DS9's "Valiant." Ryan gets crucial information from his Nausicaan prisoner, shouts down his assistant's objections, and tries to wage his own personal war on the Nausicaans, walking into an ambush and nearly getting his crew killed in the process.
We're told that the Fortunate has a crew complement of 23, and the "24 bio-signs" T'Pol detects is supposed to be an obvious hint about the presence of the Nausicaan.
Timothy W. Lynch runs across a Star Trek Enterprise episode which is both marvelous, meaty and engrossing; as a dying race forces a terrible choice on Dr. Phlox.

Enterprise must intervene when the leader of a human freighter crew sets out for revenge against alien pirates.
Ryan informs Archer that the Fortunate was attacked by Nausicaan pirates, who have been harassing freighters in the sector for years, including the one Ensign Mayweather grew up on.
Ryan appears to relent and let Archer and his team see the prisoner, but as he leads them into a cargo module, it proves to be double-cross — Ryan and Shaw trap them in the compartment with a breach in its hull, and detach it from the freighter.

 Enterprise review: Fortunate Son
After fixing their ship, Enterprise discovers the acting Captain of the cargo ship is hiding a Nausicaan they have captured, and now intends to attack the Nausicaans head on.
The Enterprise's scanners are powerful enough to detect the Nausicaan boarding party on the Fortunate, capable of detecting phaser fire between the two parties, capable of detecting the Nausicaan's weapons are weaker than Enterprise's and capable of telling that the occupants of the detached cargo pod were the Enterprise Away Team.
The one time Enterprise is more powerful than the enemy, and Archer doesn't throw his power around to keep the pirating Nausicaans in line.

 [No title]
The episode is also the first to get us in touch with Ensign Travis Mayweather, a guy who so far has received precious little to do, and even less opportunity to voice anything resembling an opinion.
The Enterprise answers the distress call of the Fortunate, a human cargo vessel that was attacked in a raid by Nausicaan pirates.
Ryan and his crew lash out at the Enterprise rather than submitting to their would-be authority, which leads to a rather interesting jeopardy premise where Archer and his team find themselves locked in a cargo hold with the atmosphere venting through a hole in the hull.

This episode also reveals at least a primitive version of the Prime Directive is already in place at Starfleet - a Starfleet code that states that unless the natives have a certain level of technology, we shouldn’t contact them because it might upset their natural development.

 The Trek Nation - Fortunate Son
Enterprise rescues the away team while Fortunate goes to warp to confront the Nausicaans.
Thus 'Fortunate Son' proves to be a strong Archer episode even though he reverses himself more than once on a course of action -- as in 'Breaking the Ice' and 'The Andorian Incident,' this doesn't make him look weak, it makes him look thoughtful.
Archer manages to be lighthearted asking his crewman whether he has any other issues with the captain's orders, but from that point forward the episode becomes deadly serious; the only levity comes when the Nausicaan captain suggests deadpan that the humans must have come to return their lost crewmember.

The strength of this episode is the developing relationship of T’Pol with the rest of the crew, especially Sato, though I feel an opportunity was missed...it would have been fun for Reed to have passed on his cold to the Klingons!

 Fortunate Son
The Enterprise was sent to aid a cargo ship that had sent out a distress call, and wasn't responding to hails.
When the Enterprise crew found out, they got into a fight, and Ryan (the first officer) ended up trapping Dr. Phlox, Reed, Archer, T'Pol, and Mayweather in a cargo bay with a hole in it.
The slow-flying football at the beginning was fun, and so was the scary moment when they ejected the cargo bay all those Enterprise crew members were on, after they punctured the hull.

He tells Archer that the Fortunate was attacked by a group of space pirates known as Nausicaans, which have actually been harassing Earth freighters that travel through the sector for years now, including - as Ensign Mayweather reveals - the freighter that Mayweather himself grew up on.
However, what is unknown to the Enterprise crew is that the arrangements made force Ryan and another crewman, Shaw, into taking special precautions to hide the fact that they are inhumanely keeping a Nausicaan prisoner onboard, and are torturing him for information.
On the Fortunate, after she helps a child out (albeit inadvertently) who is playing hide-and-seek, T’Pol notices some strange activity.

This episode opens up lots of possibilities--future human-Nausican relations, tensions between the Star Fleet an the independent "boomers" and a possible future confrontation between Enterprise and a the freighter where their ensign grew up.
We find out that Enterprise is set apart from other ships primarily by the advanced warp drive, but that three more starships are in the works, and that the difference between travelling at warp 1.8 and warp 3 is about 2 1/2 years transit time.
Mayweather's character got fleshed out better in this episode but Hoshi was furniture, although she did speak a line or two thus maintaining her position in the opening credits.

 Enterprise review: Rogue Planet
I'm going to upset some people with this one as a lot of fans consider this episode to be a dud, but while the episode may not have done anything right, they didn't really do much of it wrong.
This episode could have been done with just a regular planet, with the rogue planet idea being saved for one of those "lost civilations" or "crashed ship" stories.
But whatever you do, don't ever, ever take the shape of an Enterprise crewmember and return to the ship with Archer in an attempt to convince him and the crew to help your people.
