I must have seen this episode over 90 times by now and never get tired of the scenes in the future. I almost never watch the scenes after he gets back; it's like they don't exist to me! OK, time to calm down and do some serious explaining.
The "future" scenes take place in the apocalyptic future created by pulling Acher through time, or rather out of history before his time but they don't notice that. meanwhile Enterprise has been taken over by Silik and his soldiers who "need instructions". The problem is that future guy doesn't exist anymore than the monument. (the one Daniels was so concerned about?) Archer and Daniels are equally perplexed by the disastrous world they find them selves in. But while Archer can't seem to find time for all his questions, Daniels is quite, yet quietly puzzled and(obeying the temporal prime directive we've heard so much about) proportionately tight-lipped.
Seriously whether you like time-travel episodes or not this one should be fun.
Most Enterprise episodes bringing up the federation at all are above par: this one is stellar! The writing, acting plot and settings/set are very realistic and very masterfull. Download it if you can! if not.. there are other ways to see star trek.
