"The Catwalk" finds the Enterprise in the path of an incoming radioactive storm of massive proportions. To make it more complicated, a small group of aliens ask to take shelter aboard the Enterprise for the duration of the storm. The only way for the crew to survive the radiation is to go into a makeshift bomb shelter on the catwalk. But soon it is discovered that the refugees have brought unwanted trouble.
How many times is it going to take Archer to learn that you cannot just blindly trust every species you run across in space. His internal optimism in all lifeforms has put his crew in danger time after time. Maybe he should work on building relationships before just doing other species favors on a whim. While it seems to always work out thus far, this may not always be the case.
The episode itself is average. It's a cool concept but the actual story goes fairly predictibly once we see where it's heading. (Sidenote: That scene involving Captain Archer, the crewman, and the crossword puzzle was super strange and awkward).
Conclusion: An okay episode with a good premise.
