Got nothing better to do, so I'm going to tell you about the
Enterprise that lives in my head.  

Episode 1:   Time and Tide:  Part 1

Over the objections of Captain Archer, who blames the Vulcans for his
father's death in a warp test gone wrong, T'Pol arrives on board.
Archer is eager not just to break the record for the shortest transit
time by a human vessel between Earth and the Alpha Centauri colony,
but to even beat the best time clocked by a Vulcan vessel since the
colony was founded.  T'Pol's reservations concerning 
pushing a prototype vessel on a shakedown cruise are rejected. 
But as the cruise continues, problems begin to arise, and Tucker 
suspects sabotage, with T'Pol as the prime suspect.  Convinced of
T'Pol's innocence, Hoshi Sato must find the real culprit 
before he destroys the ship.

Technical notes:  This episode features an early version
of the transporter which can only be used for cargo because it
kills any lifeform put through it.   The saboteur tries to use the
transporter on a timer to beam a bomb into engineering while
he makes his escape via shuttlecraft.
