“Harbinger” 20th-anniversary reflections

En route to the coordinates coaxed out of Degra, Enterprise investigates a massive convergence of spatial anomalies and rescues a humanoid alien. They soon learn that the alien is from another dimension and is, in fact, of the species that is reshaping the Delphic Expanse through the spheres. He's a guinea pig of sorts, a test subject being used to check the progress of the spatial transformation. As his condition deteriorates and he attempts to sabotage the ship, members of the crew grapple with more important things: twists and turns in their personal relationships.

In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Harbinger” as we discuss how the story teases the bigger picture, T'Pol coming undone, personality conflicts, and more.
