This episode had everything. We were privy to all the factors involved, all set up well. There were two worthy adversaries. All forces were employed to face the possibility of destruction. Those Reptilians showed their disregard for life, but they trusted the wrong entities. Archer shows his utter heroism in the face of major consequences and other members of the crew were equally instrumental in all that transpired. We really get to see the humanity (and I used that term in the broadest sense) that was struck with all participants. I will hold my breath for the final season because what I saw in the last two minutes seems like a kind of warmed over Twilight Zone setup. Other than that, the third season made up for some rather up and down stories in the past.
