List of episodes

The third season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise commenced airing on UPN in the United States on September 10, 2003 and concluded on May 26, 2004 after 24 episodes. Set in the 22nd century, the series follows the adventures of the first Starfleet starship Enterprise, registration NX-01, and its crew. This is the start of a more instrumental song for the opener, and there is also an assault troop group stationed aboard Enterprise to help with combat risk away missions. Enterprise heads into a dangerous expanse of space, trying to save Earth from an Alien super-weapon threat. On the third episode, the name of the series was changed from Enterprise to Star Trek: Enterprise.[1]

Plot overview

The third season embraces a heavily serialized format initially dedicated to the search for a Xindi superweapon. It focuses on the Enterprise NX-01's mission to prevent a second, more powerful Xindi attack from destroying Earth. It also explores and develops the early encounters between Humans, Vulcans and Andorians. Additionally, main characters such as Captain Archer, Commander Tucker and Sub-Commander T'Pol receive considerable development.

Production

Season 3 was the first to use a single story arc for an entire season, and was the only season (of every Star Trek series) not to feature a Klingon character.[14] The season was cut from 26 to 24 episodes by Paramount, following some disappointing early ratings. In an attempt at boosting ratings, the series title was changed to Star Trek: Enterprise after "Extinction" (earlier episodes released later on DVD were updated to reflect this change) and the theme music was made more upbeat.
