    I loathe T'Pol.

     

    For very much the same reasons as Jolene herself has inimated. This whole arc over Season 3 and 4 has seriously weakened the character. There absolutely no basis for her to have a relatioship with anyone and the one they chose to pursue was a disaster because it so damaged the other character's involvement in the storylines. Episode after episode all we got of Trip was in relation to scenes with her. The trellium d addiction was a rather silly story device to basically turn her into a human so they could get her clothes off. If all they wanted was a sex kitten in a cat suit, that is what they should have written - not a Vulcan. I thought all the nonsense would be over and done with after the wedding in 'Home' but no - they are dragging it out until the last.

    How altruistic of you.  :angry:  The "sinister six" are a group of immature children who are determined to prove that Tim Brazael is the anti-Christ.  They "infiltrate the TU boards" posing as supporters, folks.  Can you believe?  What a joke that people expend that much negative energy. 

     

    Yes, the end of ENT does mean the end of Trek.  ENT, this season, was wonderful.  It's Rick and Brannon who screwed it up at the end.

    Whatever the Sinister Six are - Star Trek fans isn't one of them. Any true Trek fan would display a far greater tolerance and positivity whatever their views on the current show. They are basically trouble makers that have monopolised the board at Startrek.com which is sad since it is ostensbily the official board for the franchise. All they seem capable of is rudeness and reduce every thread to pointless banter between themselves.

     

    At least the King indulges in intelligent comment and, whilst not liking Enteprise, seems to uphold the tradition and vision as a whole. I happen to agree with Majel Barret that 'her' Star Trek will die with Enterprise. Whatever reincarnation we may get in the future will not uphold the dream and vision of her husband - as society deteriorates I am afraid there will be no room for a television programme that promotes hope and optimism for the human condition.

     

    Whatever your opinion of Tim and the people at Saveenterprise, they display all that is best about the philosophy of Trek and I for one would rather go down with that ship - if indeed it does go down. And if Trek has taught me anything it is that there is always hope.

    if only to see the end of the stupid Trip / T'Pol thing and maybe even a chance that T'Pol will be redeemed as a believable Vulcan. Archer was back in Season 3 mode - but making wrong decisions. It was digusting that he wouldn't listen to his senior staff and the way he shouted down Trip for putting the safety of the ship and crew first was inexcusable.

    You know I think Koss was a closet Syrannite and therefore the adherance to his cultural traditions and family's wishes are very important to him and therefore his determination to win T'Pol. After the cold way in which she received him on board Enterprise he probably began to see what he had committed himself to. She doesn't deserve him - and aside from logic I think he is just a good person and he saw the best way forward was to let her go. (I will not go into the fact that such a thing has been made of Vulcan bonding in the past that this should not be such an easy task). I like him - he a truly good man with an enlightened and generous heart - I am sure Gene Roddenberry would approve.

     

    Sadly I think T'Pol is too into herself and her drug induced emotions that make her the antithesis of everything Vulcan to realise what she has lost. He is exactly what she needs.

    I guess if it's got to be a single episode - it's The Forge. I loved the whole Augment arc though and Storm Front 1 & 2 as well but this episode had some great character moments (especially Soval and Forrest) and some wonderful insight into Vulcan culture. I only have any time for Home in that hopefully it is the last time I will have to endure any more of this pathetic Trip / T'Pol thing. I don't know about supporting drug abuse but I will stop watching if the franchise condones any more of that!! Can we have our Vulcan back please?

    Sorry to have to say this but I think a lot has to do with the bland and non-descript way the role is played. Chekov and Sulu brought such character to their small parts that the writers had plenty of ammunition to work with and naturally gave them more. Mayweather simply isn't interesting enough for a writer to want to waste time developing. In that episode 'Horizon' it was the brother that stamped his character on the story not Travis. This hole has been four years in the digging - it's difficult to see how he can get out of it now. Right off the bat if he'd have brought something like say a little too much cockiness to the character - the I've been in space longer than any of you and I know best - it might have given the writers something to work with.

    Three weeks has never seemed such a long time!!!!

     

    But in the meantime here in the UK we are getting re-runs of Season Two (five days a week!). Last week Dawn was shown and a question occured to me that someone out there may be able to answer. At the end of the show - how on earth did they get the shuttlepod back to Enterprise? Damage and the selenium isotopes in the atmosphere preclude it being flown out so what happened - or was Trip's first job on return to build a new one?

    I don't think any of the current cast work as a pair - certainly T'Pol should be in no relationship whatsoever if she is to be believed as a Vulcan. I find the suggestion of a relationship between her and Trip especially grating. I know this isn't everybody's view but it really does spoil my enjoyment of the show. :dude:

    I disliked Nemesis but it was recently shown here in the UK on TV for the first time. I was surprised how much more I enjoyed it on the small screen. I still was unhappy with the story and that scene on the desert planet still looks awful but it really was much better on TV - I wonder why that would be? I had the same reaction to the first Superman movie.

    Yes I read something recently that Dominic had been saying he was even planning that this would be the last season - can you believe that? I mean have a little faith. And yet I suppose their comments only reflect the gist of what they are hearing and they are closer than any of us to the situation.

     

    I, however, will not lose heart until I hear that the ever optimistic Mr Trinneer is saying the same thing!
