BlueCrystal 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Click For Spoiler Dear Koss, You really upset me and I don't actually understand your motives in regards to T'Pol. First you arrange the marriage to her and I doubt that you really care if T'Les regained her position but you seemed to have really wanted T'Pol. Second you give Archer your transport codes to protect T'Pol so it's clear you don't want your mate injured or killed, and now you allow T'Pol out of the marriage arrangement without gaining anything from her. What is it Koss? Are you into the nice guy/knight in shining armor scene? You have to have your own motives or interest in this situation somewhere? No one can be this good, decent, or sweet! What's the real story Koss? Why did you do it? BC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fenriz275 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Yes, BC, that was quite a turn-around. Click For Spoiler Maybe he just had time to think about the marriage and decided HE wanted out. Who knows???? He did seem like a decent guy by doing that. T'Pol certainly looked shocked, didn't she? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the real story Koss? Why did you do it? BC 287082[/snapback] Click For Spoiler First thing, Koss did not arrange the marriage, his family did. Secondly as to why he help Archer and let T'Pol out of the marriage, have you ever heard the saying "If you love someone, Set her free..." Also, he knew T'Pol's reason for marrying him. Would you want to stay married to someone you might not see again for years, who only married you to help her mother and who had very strong feelings for another man? I think Koss did the right thing. He needs to find somone he can really be married to instead of having a marriage in name only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Kirk 1 Posted December 6, 2004 I think he did the right thng. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that T'Pol was not into him at all. Maybe he can find someone more suitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddillard 2 Posted December 7, 2004 I would think that after seeing what T'Pol was willing to risk for the crew of Enterprise and knowing the motivation that led her to marry him, that Koss would have realized that holding her to a marriage was not logical.

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted December 7, 2004 (edited) Click For Spoiler But Koss knew before the marriage T'Pol did not wish to marry him - but forced the issue - so why the change of mind. His explanation made no sense to me - sure T'Pol's reason for agreeing may have changed with the loss of her mother (not that she ever admitted that was her reason - but everyone assumed that it was). So what was Koss' reason to want to marry her and did that change? Did the discovery of Surok's writings make adherence to custom less important (it was still important in Spock's time). Maybe Koss was a Syrannite or at least a sympathizer and maybe that had something to do with his need to marry T'Pol. I could get off topic and wonder why in general men pursue women that clearly aren't interested in them.

Jeanway 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Click For Spoiler I agree with BC. Koss did seem to take on a kinder, nice manner. He actually seemed more physically attractive, to me anyway. The first time I saw him I thought he was harsh and cruel. This nicer Koss is more appealing, to most of us Ladies anyway. Of course I can only speak for myself. :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Kirk 1 Posted December 10, 2004 [ I'm not the only human female this has happened to 287221[/snapback] Some of guys don't take rejection too well. It may be a ego thing too? Just my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunderfish 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Click For Spoiler 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.

Ozymandous 0 Posted December 21, 2004 ...why in general men pursue women that clearly aren't interested in them. I'm not the only human female this has happened to Some women never say "not interested" in so many words, they try to get the point across in hints or small 'signals' which can be ignored or misintrepreted. If a guy still chases after clear 'look in the eye and say 'not interested, go away'', well then he's an idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
