Why is Captain Archer such a pansy?

I'm watching Season 4 Episode 1: Storm Front. Archer finds an alien helping the Nazis and tries to interrogate him, but not very vigorously. Archer repeatedly opens himself to attack by turning his back to the alien. He asks a few questions, takes an alien communicator and then leaves. Archer doesn't even bother to execute the alien, despite the risk of the alien warning his compatriots. Instead, his mob buddy shoots the alien several times like they almost forgot something and leaves the body in plain view.





How hard is it, Archer? Put your loaded weapon to the alien's temple and pull the trigger. Kirk, Picard, Sisko and Janeway would not have hesitated.

Why is Captain Archer such a pansy?
I think by this point the writers on Enterprise had well and truely given up! Just showing T'Pol's backside and hoping no-one would notice the rest...


It could've been a really good series but they didn't really try.
