We recently watched Chosen Realm, Carpenter Street, and (last night) Proving Ground. I didn't care too much for Chosen Realm, as I found the Triannon (sp.) to be too arrogant, and a bit annoying. I was pleased that they got their (albeit unintended from the perspective of the ENT crew) comeuppance.
I loved Carpenter Street. When the episode first aired, I was pleased that it was taking place (in part) in Detroit, Michigan. I thought they had some of the overall 'look' of the city down rather well. I loved the fast-food sequence, and the concept of the blood types being obtained for the purposes of the Xindi. I wasn't aware that there were eight blood types.
Proving Ground was first-rate. Jeffrey Combs truly plays whatever role he portrays in Trek (e.g., Weyoun, Brunt, Shran, or various other Ferengi) wonderfully. I really like what the writers have done with the backstory of the Andorians. The conflict with the Vulcans meshes nicely with Gav's animosity towards Sarek in Journey to Babel, and watching this conflict between the Andorian Imperial Guard and the Vulcans improve over time (thanks in large part to Shran) is very well done. How they became members of the Federation despite their feelings toward the Vulcans is very interesting, and IMO could easily have filled another season of ENT.
