"The Forgotten" is the seventy-second episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise, the twentieth episode of season three. It first aired on April 28, 2004, on the UPN network in the United States.
Set in the 22nd century, the series follows the adventures of the first Starfleet starship Enterprise, registration NX-01. Season three of Enterprise features an ongoing story following an attack on Earth by previously unknown aliens called the Xindi - a group of five surviving races who each evolved on the same planet. The Enterprise enters the Delphic Expanse seeking to stop the superweapon with which the Xindi intend to destroy Earth.
Captain Archer tells the crew that they will carry on, but will remember the 18 crew members who died in the recent battle with the Xindi ("Azati Prime"). He directs Enterprise to rendezvous with Degra. He also orders Commander Tucker to write a letter to the parents of Jane Taylor, a member of his engineering team who died in a recent battle. Also, Sub-Commander T'Pol discusses with Doctor Phlox the consequences of her Trellium addiction, and is troubled when he tells her the damage to her ability to control emotions may be permanent - a more pessimistic prognosis than before.
Arriving at a sphere, Enterprise is soon approached by Degra and Jannar's ship, who Archer then invite on board in an attempt to gain their trust. He then reveals his evidence: the Reptilian corpses and technology of the failed viral attack against 2004 Earth (as per the episode Carpenter Street), images of the dying alien who attempted to destroy the ship (as per Harbinger), and scans of the interior of a sphere (as per Anomaly). He again reiterates that Humans and Xindi are pre-destined to form an alliance to stop the Sphere Builders' incursion in the future. But he also demands that Degra reveal information about the weapon and its launch schedule. An increasingly persuaded Degra promises to do what he can to delay it.
