Sally Archer was the wife of warp scientist Henry Archer, and the mother of Jonathan Archer.
When Jonathan had trouble sleeping as a child, Sally would often recite a poem for him. One poem she frequently recited was "The Song of the Wandering Aengus." (ENT: "Rogue Planet")
As Henry's Clarke's Disease progressed, one symptom was his inability to recognize his wife and son. After his death in 2124, she was forced to raise twelve-year-old Jonathan on her own. (ENT: "Cold Station 12", "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
This character was only mentioned in dialogue.
Michael Sussman, who wrote "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II", revealed that Sally Archer was named for the mother of Scott Bakula, who played Jonathan Archer. [1]
Sally Archer (β) made her first appearance in the first and only Enterprise comic story, "The Fragile Beauty of Loyalty" in the fourth issue of IDW Publishing's ongoing Waypoint series.External link[]
