| Star Trek: Enterprise will reportedly introduce the inventor of the transporter in the tenth episode of season four. Currently entitled "Daedalus", the episode is set to feature a visit by the device's creator, Emory, to the Enterprise NX-01, according to TrekToday sources. A friend and colleague of Jonathan Archer's father, Henry Archer, Emory created history when he successfully transported a single-celled organism using the matter-energy conversion process. The development of the device did not come without significant personal cost to Emory, however. His son, Quinn, was killed in a transporter accident. Emory himself even had parts of his spinal cord fused together when a malfunction in the pattern buffer caused a test to go very wrong. These accidents failed to damper his drive to see the transporter reach its full potential — in fact, they seemed to have spurred him on to achieve even greater things. During his visit to Enterprise, Emory reveals plans for a long-range transporter, as the NX-01's device can only cover distances of twenty-thousand kilometres. He proposes that the transporter signals could be sent through subspace, and even envisions a day when starships will no longer be needed to convey passengers from planet to planet — the transporter could do the job instead. In a recent interview with Science Fiction Weekly, Enterprise executive producer Manny Coto said he was planning an episode that would feature the transporter's creator in a similar manner to Dr. Richard Daystrom, the inventor of duotronics, in "The Ultimate Computer". "One of the ideas that I've had is, we've seen Zefram Cochrane, the originator of the warp drive," he said. "But we've never seen the individual who invented the transporter, which I think is as important an invention as the warp drive, when you really think about it. So I want to do a story about an individual who is kind of a Daystrom, if you remember the old series character, who's invented the transporter, and a story about him." |

Hoorah! First comment :)
This episode could have been something good. The creator of the Transporter comes to Enterprise, on a quest to find his lost son.
Sadly, they had to copy 'The Ultimate Computer' and make it so that he's coming aboard under false pretenses, and create a bit of unecessary suspence.
It was enjoyable to the extent that it was over and done with within one hour (something I've missed), but on the whole a bit disappointing.

My Brother has a copy that works as well. Which is just as well, as I haven't found a decent copy yet either :rolleyes:

There's something to be said for VHS, there were never any f*cking codec issues :lol:

Will just have to wait until this one is shown on Sky I guess.

Agree with Phillip on this one. It was OK but somehow I thought it could have been better.

It was ok. As everyone else says though, it could have been so much better. It was the only episode I've seen in season 4 that I've seen that I've not been bothered about. I'll be in no hurry to rewatch this one.
Nice to see a stand alone episode. Nice to see an episode too that wasn't trying to tie up a loose end, or as some kind of 'fanwank' story line. (Can't help it... such a great term!) It should have been original and refreshing, but, as ok as it was, I felt I'd seen it before.
On the positive side, I felt the guest stars, playing Emory and Dannika, were excellent, and I'd be more than happy to see Dannika again! :drool:
