As for Archer, I think he has been acting pretty consistant to how he always has. He has his morals right or wrong that he lives by. Consider the episode with the Xhindi on the small moon. Reed and West wanted to destroy the place. Archer thought they had been taken advantage of. So he let them all live and didn't destroy the facilities so they could make a living. Hell he even went along with the cloning of Tucker so he wouldn't lose him and keep T'Pol happy. Look how he behave in the western. He didn't go after the people who had enslaved the humans. He protected the weak. He rid the community of the bad apples. He also rescued the Slave girl would was working for the Xhindi. He returned the pirate back to his ship.

Good points. Your examples do show (at least to me!) that Archer .... while MUCH more "edgy" and "dark" than in previous seasons ..... has NOT altogether lost his sense of what's right in his zeal to seek out the Xindi. I don't go out looking for wpoilers or anything .... but I vaguely recall some stuff about how "TRIP" was going to be VERY affected by his sister's death and that HE was going to be the "edgy" tough-guy. I guess that poiler got it wrong! -- Michelle ( ..... but I really don't think Archer's motivation to save Trip had ANYTHING to do keeping T'Pol happy!), 21:20:26 12/07/03 Sun

You're probably right about that. Wellfare of the ship comes first, their friendship second. Though I'm sure T'Pol was happy in her own way that Tucker is alive. I still believe since the beginning that Tucker reaches her on a level that she can't resist. That it draws her to to him. inside -- Talon, 00:59:07 12/11/03 Thu
He has awaken her emotions and she likes how she feels. She likes the way he cares about her and takes an interest in her well being. She wants to get closer to him, it's why she agreed to the neuropressure treatments. As she and Phylox have said, neuropressure treatment is very intimate.
Consider that Vulcans don't like to be touch or touch others, she has had a lot of physical contact with Tucker. She wouldn't be doing this if she didn't have feelings for him. It's her way of letting him know she wants him as much as she hopes he wants her.
Afterall didn't Sim say he or was it Tucker's memory of loving her.
