Very lame but hey, we no longer have any through lines holding us down and this gives the writers an opportunity to explore new plots and characters. After building up this Temporal Cold War practically all series long, it really ends in a bit of a whimper. Boy, do time travel episodes make my head hurt! None of this really makes any sense but I guess that they just wanted to start fresh and get all this behind them. If he can't do this in time, everything maybe lost! It seems like the show's creators are tying up loose ends by killing off Silik and ending the Temporal Cold War. He also needs to track down Trip, still within the compound somewhere. In the second half of this two part episode, Archer must work with Silik to destroy Vosk's time machine in order to fix the timeline. Most of the actors do their best with the material they have and there are some decent action sequences, but it's a bit uninspiring. Unfortunately, this at best is moderately entertaining for me. When you know a story can only be the characters journey to the reset button you need some major entertainment to get you there.
Some of the acting is also quite ropey and the less said about the writing the better. Nazis and Aliens v Enterprise and Mafia: That should say enough, without even mentioning the dodgy special effects, particularly the Nazi flag on the White House. It contains some amusing scenes, a good wartime newsreel and one epic line from Archer in response to Trip realising he is not dead, but the best thing about it is that they draw a line under the Temporal Cold War. Again this is one of the most daft concepts in the Trek franchise and I really hope it was their way of having a laugh whilst wrapping up the story arc. Archer and the Mafia conclude the Temporal Cold War against the Alien Nazis.
