Season 2 » Episode #01 - Shockwave (2)
![]() Silik and his Suliban soldiers board Enterprise to search the ship for Captain Archer, who T'Pol insists disappeared when he left to give himself up. Meanwhile, Archer is stuck in the 31st century with Daniels, trying to determine why his removal from the 22nd century led to the devastation they are witnessing. Daniels is stunned to discover that a monument commemorating an organization called the "Federation" was never built. The two find a dilapidated old library and begin searching for answers there. On Enterprise, the Suliban re-take the data disks stolen from them earlier showing they were the ones responsible for the catastrophe on Paraagan II. They also detect a temporal signature on board which proves T'Pol was not lying after all about Archer, so rather than killing the crew, Silik confines them to quarters and commandeers the ship. Meanwhile on Earth, Ambassador Soval is incensed that Enterprise has failed to follow instructions ending its mission, and tells Admiral Forrest he has no choice but to send the Vulcan ship D'kyr in pursuit. |

Trivia
- Trek semi-regulars Foundation Imaging (a company which had been working in special effects since its involvement in the first season of sci-fi series Babylon 5), was dropped on the debut of Star Trek: Enterprise's second season. Instead Eden FX took over all the effects work to become the new leading effects house for the TV series.
- During Star Trek: Enterprise's first run it was the most special effects-laden television show on the networks, with a reported 2,700 effects shots in the first season alone. Roughly 300 in the two hour pilot and an average of 100 per episode. Season Two surpassed this number with a reported 2,900 visual effect. The average budget for each episode of Enterprise in its first season was $3,500,000. Due to both the success of the show and more creative technology required for further seasons, the budget was increased to $5,000,000 starting with "Shockwave Part II".
