Having suffered serious damage in the Romulan minefield, the Enterprise sends out a distress call and is directed by Tellarites to a mysterious space station apparently built as part of a cross-promotional campaign with Arthur C. Clarke. Aboard the station, Archer learns that the Enterprise can be repaired in just 34.2 hours for a price so low he can’t refuse. Only that price turns out to be much higher as Travis goes missing and more and more inquiries are not recognized. It’s time to enter the Haunted House of Catfish.

In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 2 with “Dead Stop” as we enter a pristine house of horrors with offers that seem too good to be true—one that puts humanity in its place and proves that Roxann Dawson knows how to do eerie. Anyone up for a side of cornbread?
