目录

剧情介绍

距Zefram Cochrane实现曲速航行理论(又名“折叠空间跳跃航行理论”)及第一次接触至今已有90年了,人类在Vulcans的逐步指点下已接近完成5级曲速引擎的建造。人类终能使用Jonathan Archer船长带领的划时代新飞船——进取号NX-01首度探索从未涉足的太空。然而在发现一位Klingon信使被不明身份者于Oklahoma州Broken Bow攻击后,该探索计划得以提前进行。Archer有感于Vulcans多年来总以人类救世主自居,决定撇开他们单独护送受伤的Klingon人安全返回家园。Archer得到了星舰总部的大力支持,对Vulcans的反对意见则充耳不闻。

将飞船发射到地球上空的空间站后,Archer利用3天时间召集了所有船员,其中包括具有迷人风度来自南方的轮机长,Charles "Trip" Tucker III少校;坚韧机警的战术官,Malcolm Reed中尉;满腔热情生长于太空的舵手,Travis Mayweather少尉;具有语言学天赋的通信官,Hoshi Sato少尉;除此之外,Archer还打破常规,招募外星人Phlox医生作为飞船上的首席医疗官。由于这是飞船首次执行任务,Vulcans要求派出顾问进行指导,并任命了极具才智但墨守陈规的副指挥官T'Pol。装备了最新星舰技术的飞船上弥漫着期待与紧张的气氛,许多人并不想切身尝试这些技术,例如刚刚改进过的传送仪就是一例。进取号星舰很快就如期进行了载入史册的发射,正如Cochrane博士采用折叠空间技术飞向Kronos星球时所说的那样:“勇敢踏入那人类从未到过的洪荒”。

进取号一路加速,船员之间加深了了解,并逐步形成了相互间的信任。在Phlox医生的照料下,受伤的Klingon人Klaang恢复了知觉,于是Hoshi试图与之进行交流。然而飞船突然失去动力,一种貌似变色龙的未知外星人侵入飞船医务室劫走了Klaang。Phlox医生检查了抓获的外星人发现他是进行过基因改造的Suliban人。Klingon失踪后,T'Pol建议Archer飞回地球,但被他断然拒绝。然而他还是从守口如瓶的Vulcan人处得知Klaang坠毁到地球之前曾在Rigel X星球上停留过,于是命令Mayweather设置飞船到Rigel星系去。与此同时,一个名为Silik的Suliban人开始讯问Klaang,试图查出他为何在Rigel X上会见一名为Sarin的Suliban女人。进取号探索队在Rigel X上发现了令人惊异的多种外星生命组成的贸易联盟,他们试图找出Klaang拜访这里的痕迹的努力总是被发现新奇见闻所打断。Archer最终还是见到了Sarin,Sarin告诉他有一场时间冷战,其间Suliban人被利用来煽动Klingon帝国的内战。Klaang此次就是准备带着证据返回上议会以避免帝国陷入战乱的。然而此前埋伏的Suliban士兵发起了突然袭击,令Archer,Sarin及探索队其他成员不得不进行战斗以撤回进取号。在猛烈交火之际,Sarin被杀害,随后Archer在搭救T'Pol之时腿部遭到重创陷入昏迷。

由于Archer出事,尽管Trip反对T'Pol还是接管了进取号,并出乎意料的设置飞船跟踪Rigel X上的Suliban飞船,而不是命令飞船返回地球。Archer重新指挥飞船之后他们到达了一个气态星球,显然跟丢了Suliban人。但T'Pol再次让人惊异地帮助Archer发现不止一艘而是14艘Suliban飞船不久前进入了该星球的大气。于是进取号尾随而至,发现了一艘巨大的承载3000个生命体地Suliban母舰或“螺旋状物”。他们遭到了几艘单独的Suliban飞船攻击,但成功使用飞船抓钩捕获了一艘。Archer和Tucker学会了驾驶偷来的飞船并利用它渗入螺旋状物,与此同时进取号则藏身于大气稠密上层以避免Suliban人的纵深炸弹。Archer和Tucker利用新的相位手枪抵抗Suliban人,找到并释放了Klaang。Tucker护送Klingon人返回进取号时,Archer留下来设置磁暴器引爆螺旋物。在等待救援时,Archer发现了一个Suliban人用于从一个全身包裹严实的未来神秘人物那里获得命令的时间密室。Archer旋即被Suliban的头目Silik发现,两人在时间错位的环境中进行了一场殊死搏斗。Archer在意识到自己不是进行过基因变异的Suliban人的对手后,试图退出密室进入正常时间态获取喘息的机会。Silik在Archer跑动之时使用武器正中Archer要害,但恰好此时船长反物质化了,在不知情的情况下被紧张的Tucker使用双向传送仪传回了进取号。

抛下Suliban人后,进取号进入曲速离开,成功护送Klaang回到家乡。Klingon总理抽取Klaang的血液让他的科学家检查,发现其DNA中隐藏的Suliban数据证明了他们在密谋破坏帝国。总理转向Archer并显示出敌意,但Archer把他的行为解释为“谢谢”。

回到进取号,Archer收到了星舰总部的命令,从今以后,他及船员将正式开始探索任务。出于对T'Pol协助他完成任务的感谢之情,Archer放下自尊,请T'Pol留任为飞船的科学官。最终飞船设定了飞向最近的住人星球的航线,进取号的全体成员勇敢地飞向那未知的洪荒......

经典对白

"Where no man has gone before." - Said twice, first by young Jonathan Archer, reciting a speech by Zefram Cochrane, which is heard later. Very first line of the series

"Volatile? You have no idea how much I'm restraining myself from knocking you on your ass." - Archer's first words to T'Pol, in response to her claim that humans are not ready to make their own decisions

"When your logic doesn't work, you raise your voice? You've been on Earth too long." - Archer's comment to Ambassador Soval after the Ambassador displays a decidedly un-Vulcan burst of emotion.

"Keep your shirt on, lieutenant." - Said twice, first by Lieutenant Malcolm Reed doing an impression of Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker, then by Trip, himself.

"I took a shower this morning, how about you, Cap'n?" - Commander Tucker making fun of T'Pol's heightened sense of smell.

"You can't be afraid of the wind." - Said twice, first at the start of the episode by Henry Archer when young Jonathan Archer was having trouble flying a model starship, then at the end of the episode by Captain Archer, in reply to Ensign Mayweather's suggestion to fly around an ion storm, a minor spatial disturbance

"On this site, a powerful engine will be built. An engine that will someday help us to travel a hundred times faster than we can today. Imagine it - thousands of inhabited planets at our fingertips... and we'll be able to explore those strange new worlds, and seek out new life and new civilizations. This engine will let us go boldly... where no man has gone before." - Doctor Zefram Cochrane's speech from the dedication ceremony for the Warp Five Complex, in 2119

"Let's go." - Captain Archer's order to engage warp and depart Earth

"Optimism, captain!" - Phlox's advice to Captain Archer, before the Denobulan doctor smiles a massive grin

"Ponfo mirann!" - Hoshi's Vulcan insult. According to Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, this phrase can be translated as "Go to hell!" (Episode's audio commentary, ENT Season 1 DVD)

背景信息

  • Vaughn Armstrong (who holds the record for playing the largest number of alien guest characters on the various series) played his first human role in this episode as Admiral Forrest. The character would continue to appear throughout the series, and though he would eventually die in the episode "The Forge", he would make one final appearance in the fourth season "In a Mirror, Darkly".
  • Sections of Zefram Cochrane's speech were (obviously) taken from the opening narrations heard in the title sequences of The Original Series and The Next Generation.
  • Gary Graham, who plays Soval in this episode, previously played Tanis in "Cold Fire", an episode of Star Trek: Voyager.
  • The model starship which young Jonathan Archer plays with in flashbacks throughout this episode was designed by illustrator Jim Martin and built by the Paramount prop shop. It would appear again in the Season 3 episode "Similitude".
  • This episode's script establishes that the two Teneebian moons that Ensign Mayweather visited when he was young were originally two Andorian moons.
  • Rigel X was also the last place visited by Enterprise before its decommission in 2161.
  • This episode marks the first appearance of the Denobulans, in the form of Phlox, although the name of his species would not be revealed until "Terra Nova".
  • Many have claimed that the Klingon-human First Contact seen here contradicts canon in that it seems to go against established facts from "First Contact" (TNG). In that episode, Captain Picard noted that initial contact between the two powers was "disastrous" and that it provoked Starfleet to change their first contact protocols. Most believe the events seen in Broken Bow hardly constitute a "disastrous" initial contact, nor would it instigate a change in contact procedure since it was a Klingon who initiated first contact by crash-landing on Earth. However, it is most likely that Picard was referring to repeated contacts throughout the next several decades (such as those witnessed in "Borderland" and "Divergence"), leading to the adversarial relationship in 2218, as mentioned by Dr. McCoy in "Day of the Dove" (TOS). There are some, however, who believe that first contact between humans and Klingons came sooner than it should have as a result of the Temporal Cold War, although that claim is unsubstantiated.
  • A certain amount of controversy was sparked when it was decided to have the Klingons appear as they did after The Original Series - with their trademark forehead ridges. This caused much speculation and debate among fans as to how the race had evolved from having bony ridges on their foreheads in this episode to having smooth foreheads in Kirk's era. However, an explanation for these differences was finally provided in the fourth season episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence".
  • The Temporal Cold War plot, which began in this episode, would be continued in "Cold Front" and would conclude in "Storm Front, Part II". The arc was intended to carry throughout the run of the series, but was mostly scrapped when the series took on a "new direction" in its third season.
  • In one scene, Trip and Mayweather are discussing various planets they've been to, during which Mayweather alludes to a planet where women have three breasts. This could be considered an allusion to the Cat Woman from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier or the "triple-breasted whore of Eroticon VII" from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
