Yeah, the 'let's just kill someone for the heck of it' feeling grabbed me too. And I read evay's article and pretty much agreed with all of it.
It felt like a TNG episode. And I've never liked TNG. I've never liked Riker. I tolerated Troi on Voyager in small doses because it was Voyager. But I think that's another reason I hated it.
I don't know. If it was a coverup I could deal with it. Then the message would be 'Starfleet can't do coverups.'
Also, I think we gypped out of the speech. Archer isn't good at speechifying, but since Trip died, we could've at least gotten something.
Did anything not piss me off about the episode? Um....the one Trip/Malcolm scene. And yeah. That's it.
Gah. I don't want to think about it anymore. It's like they said 'okay, we know the fans love the show. This is the last episode they're ever going to get. Let's make them hate it as much as possible.'

Dark Blues: I'm going to kill you!
Enzan: Not if I kill me first!
Dark Blues: You...are aware my goal is accomplished either way, right?
Enzan: ...Yeah...
