Star Trek: Enterprise: Detained (2002)
Season 1, Episode 21
7/10
Unusual Alliance
10 December 2007
While investigating a mysterious surge of energy with the shuttle-pod, Archer and Travis are captured by the distrustful and hostile Tandarans and sent to a detention complex in a remote planet. The warden Colonel Grat explains the misunderstandings, explaining that they are in war against the Suliban terrorist organization Cabal, and that the inmates are pacific Sulibans relocated temporarily for their own safety. He claims that he has no authority to release the earthlings and they should be sent to the central magistrate office in Tander Pride as a simple bureaucratic formality. However, Captain Archer discloses that the interns are hold imprisoned due to prejudice against their race and resolves to interfere in the fate of the Sulibans.

"Detained" is a reasonable episode with a story based on the prejudice of Americans against Japanese people that lived in USA after Pearl Harbor attack. I do not know whether the interference of Captain Archer and his unusual alliance with the Sulibans will have consequences in the future. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Detidos" ("Detained")
