Season 2 is the sound of a show finding its voice through trial and error. It proved that while "exploring for the sake of exploration" was noble, Enterprise needed a central conflict to truly soar. It provided the necessary friction that eventually ignited the masterpiece that was the Season 3 Xindi arc.

Season 2 marks the beginning of the "Hardening of Archer." At the start of the season, Scott Bakula plays Archer as a Boy Scout who wants to be everyone’s friend. By the finale, he is forced to realize that the galaxy is not a friendly place.
