• Finally watched the last two weeks eps(but taped this week)! -- Frances, 06:32:34 01/31/02 Thu
  I am really liking this show....moral dilemas, good character developement, nice pacing,and (drumroll, please)
  good looking crew! Dr. Flox is much cooler that Nellix. I'm beginning to like Hoshi...at first, she was a whiner, but I'm coming around. Of course Trip & Archer have won me over, and T'Pol is getting points, just cuz she's Vulcan.But lose the spandex-would a highly evolved race need to display their "wares", I think not. Go for comfortable & show your sexiness from the inside. This being a much harder thing to do, for an actor, so they go for cheesecake. Or maybe the Vulcans evolved past this state in the next few years, because in the later ST's, this was so! Now I really what to know more about Reed! Tell me more about him...His voice/accent makes me drool.
  What can they do with him.....obviously, he has closeness issues! We have a man who's father is pissed at him for joing Starfleet, not The Royal Navy, a mom who hasn't a clue, a self-involved best friend, and a sister who can't be bothered......weird.Typical dysfunctional family.
  Work with me here!

  • I really liked the ep with the "Prime Directive" thing --- it was thought-provoking and well scripted & acted. I like the Dr. also. I liked how they did the ep as him writing to a human colleague back home. I *did* think that thing between T'Pol and Hoshi in the last ep was a bit odd. Given T'Pol's reluctance to view humans as "good enough" or whatever, it struck me as a bit precipitous that she'd be offering to teach Hoshi "stuff". I LIKE it that she offered --- but it just seemed to come out of the blue. (NT) -- MichelleB, 19:22:55 02/01/02 Fri
    • I think T'Pol is getting use to being around humans. She also probably figures she will reduce all the tension around her if she's a little more socialable. I think the Doctor talked to her a few episodes back about welcoming the diversity of all things, one of the things Vulcans seek. Also being female on a ship of mostly males she probably needs another female to bond with. Hoshi does speak Vulcan. I'm sure she's trying to fit in as one of the crew. (NT) -- talon, 00:11:31 02/02/02 Sat
  • If T'Pol is planning a lenghty stay- she'd realize some changes were in order, for everyone. Hoshi seems to be the "gobetween', the counselor role, in this crew. So she'd the one I'd go to(Maybe---after Archer, Trip, Reed and Merriweather!)Not in RL, but in my dreams! (NT) -- Frances, 06:01:20 02/05/02 Tue

  • Go to http://dir.yahoo.com/News_and_Media/Television/Programming/Shows/Science_Fiction_and_Fantasy/Star_Trek/Enterprise/ There a couple of sites there that have Fanfiction. There are quite a few stories (30-50). Most of them are about Trip and T'Pol but there are a few other dealing with Malcom, Travis and Hoshi. (NT) -- talon, 00:55:07 01/24/02 Thu

    • What I've seen about the next episode I believe is T'Pol is suppose to leave. Archer doesn't want her to because she's a member of his crew now, and some how she gets hurt. She seems to end up in Archers arms a few times. I hope he's not developing feelings of that sort for her. She and Trip seem more natural and the ground work has already been laid. lolol.

• Pilot episode -- talon, 23:27:02 01/11/02 Fri
  After watching the pilot again this week They mentioned that Vulcan female have an heighten sense of smell. It was funny when T'Pol went into Archer's quarters with Trip. Her head quickly snap in the direction of his dog. We all know dogs smell more then humans. then before she left the dog either had his front legs around one of her legs or was trying to get her attention. Needless to say she wasn't very please.
  
  Then later we have the decontamination chamber scene. Trip was rubbing the cream all over her body At one point it looked like he might slip his hand further south then nessacary. But he did find her arousal point, the tips of her ears. As soon as she was starting to feel good about it she quickly broke away. She definitely like rubbing Trip down. and even got into rubbing his ears.

• Tonights Andorians in the Shrine ep -- PB, who is considering a new name like Archer-y or T'Peg or Tripsgirl, 21:15:59 01/02/02 Wed
  Things I learned:
  Early vulcans were not green like Spock
  Vulcans smell like dust (according to the flirty Andorian)
  Vulcans do not like the smell of humans
  Vulcans must take some sort of nasal numbing agent so they can stand being around humans
  The engineer finally got to blow something up (the big mask)

    • LOL! Is talon our first official T'Pol/Trip shipper? *I* want (and rather expect) us to see the growth of some kind of friendship between the humans and the Vulcans play out as Trip and T'Pol get to know and appreciate each other.

    • Did Spock ever mention that humans smell? I missed 2 episodes, so if there has been some Trip/T'Pol flirting I didn't see it.. The preview for the next new one had T'Pol in someone's arms but she may have been unconscious. (NT) -- PB, 21:15:48 01/03/02 Thu
      • Spock was half human , maybe his senses weren't as acute. Also Spock had been part of Starfleet for many, many years. I think two episodes give us the possibility of something developing between T'Pol and Trip. -- talon, 23:51:10 01/03/02 Thu
        • Thanks talon! I forgot that Spock was half human! And the T'Pol getting married episode was one of the ones I missed.. (NT) -- PB, 15:14:38 01/04/02 Fri
          • Isn't the sense of smell thing also something about T'Pol being female? You poor thing, having missed "Breaking the Ice". It's probably my favourite episode (Unexpected comes in a close second!). I was so disappointed when I heard that UPN is going to re-run "Broken Bow" (which I already have on tape) instead of that one. (NT) -- Emily H., 16:42:49 01/05/02 Sat
            • No, one of the vulcan males asked her how she stand the smell. She said you get use it. She also has somethind that numbs her sense of smell. But what was interesting is when Archer offer her half the blanket she said she would rather be cold then smell him. I guess getting use to the smell refers to Tucker. (NT) -- talon, 00:14:22 01/06/02 Sun
              • This Wed. our UPN is showing a Tennessee vs. someone basket ball game instead of Enterprise. I don't want to miss a re-run of "Breaking the Ice" or a new ep for basketball. So other stations are showing a re-run of "Boken Bow" this Wednesday? (NT) -- PB, 10:32:04 01/07/02 Mon
  • Do Vulcans dream of electrical humans????? Doesn't one's olefactory sense deaded & adjusts to smells, after a few hours. So either T'Pol is yanking his chain or she is fighting the obvious---her hunter/gatherer instinct is working overtime in Trip's case. I wouldn't mind a ongoing romance between them. Just no UST & constant one night stands as in the old ST. It made them seem silly & shallow. Capt.Kirk, Riker,etc,etc & all those "space bimbos". Rarely, did they show a committed relationship, with it's ups & downs. Without someone dying a tragic death! (NT) -- Frances, 06:06:06 01/04/02 Fri
  • I found it amusing that before T'Pol went down to the temple with Archer and Tucker she was giving them instructions, when she turned to Tucker she raised her voice as if to emphasize as if she was talking to a young male and said "Keep your hands to yourself, do not touch anything, do not disturb anything.

• I-Man bboard poster looking for a safe site for lil bro... -- the_kept, 03:45:13 01/04/02 Fri
  I have been watching Enterprise since my lil bro decided to tape it. I thought it was an awesome show! Then, when my lil bro saw me on the IMan (www.imaniacs.org) bboard and Maeve's bboard, he wanted to know if there was an Enterprise bboard. I told him I would look and found this one, with a few familiar faces. :) I just wanted to make sure this has rules that are clean and such. I'll let you know what his name is so you can be prepared, errr, so you can welcome him! :)

• Theme Song -- PB, 12:32:34 12/22/01 Sat
  I love the theme song and the show. My husband found the theme song on-line, but there is also opera singing by a fellow of the same name. Does anyone know if the fellow who sings the theme song also sings opera? To me they don't sound like they could be the same singer. Sorry if you have already discussed the performer doing the theme song. I lost the addy for this for a long time. hank you to Lost and Spacie for posting it at Maeve's.

  • I like the theme song too. I think it really fits the premise of the show. I've heard some critics go on & on about how trite it is or something; but I like it. Sorry -- I can't help you with the performer's name or his other work. I need to "advertise" this Board more. Not only at Maeve's ..... but all over the WWW. I'd like for it to eventually be as fun a place to come to for Enterprise jazz as Maeve's is for JAG. (NT) -- MichelleB, 19:52:27 12/22/01 Sat
    • Thank you, Michelle. The performer's name is Russell Watson. But on the net we found that song by him, and also some opera stuff by some one of that name. I am wondering if the guy who does the theme also sings opera--a stretch I guess! Wednesday night is the best night of TV IMO with Enterprise and The West Wing. I finally got to see the beginning of the Trip Gets Pregnant episode where Archer is in the shower! Yesss! Sorry I don't stop by often. I really don't get as much time on the computer as I used to. (NT) -- PB, 21:09:38 12/22/01 Sat
    • Just to be a real idiot and answer my own question.....The guy who sings the theme song, Russell Watson, is a British classical tenor who has crossed over to pop with the Enterprise theme. He has an album due out in Feb with the E theme on it. Duh...why didn't I just do a search on him to begin with! Sorry! (NT) -- PB,, 21:21:47 12/22/01 Sat

• Tucker gets lucky -- talon, 00:01:20 12/20/01 Thu
  Even though tonight's episode was a repeat it was very amusing. Seems that Commander Tucker is going to be the Will Riker of this crew. All the alien woman are going to be attracted to him and want to have his baby or should i say he have their baby.
  
  T'Pol really went to town ragging Tucker about his encounter with the aliens. She had a lot of snide comments. Archer was just standing there trying to hold in the laughter as T'Pol went on and on. All Tucker could do is stand there and take the abuse like a school kid caught with hand in the cookie jar.
  
  I think this episode is the start of lessen hostilities between Tucker and T'Pol. Where he's going to start listening more carefully to her when she gives advice on alien culture. Where he doesn't see her as the evil step child anymore. That she's one of the crew and interest in what's best for the crew not what's best for the vulcans.

    • I see T'pol & Trip being the buddy-buddy/best-friends-in-the-world like Kirk & Spock were, with a little of the McCoy/Spock-ish dynamic thrown in ..... along with the extra bit of "spice" that their being of opposite sexes brings to the whole thing. And I'm thinking htat they just HAVE to deal with T'Pol and "the 7 year itch" thing. Or not. Maybe they will cop out or something. I can't WAIT for a new episode! (NT) -- MichelleB, 21:48:22 12/21/01 Fri
      • I think they will but not right away. It probably a season two or three. They dealt with it with Spock one way. Then they dealt with it another way with Tuvark. I'm with you though I would like them to become really good friends first with an more adult level to it. Dealing with their friendship like mature adults who know how deal with someone of the opposite sex. See more innoendo, subtle sexual content rather then baltant raw sex. Like the last episode where Trip got pregnant. T'Pol really tore into him. She came off talking to himin a non threathening manner, but what she sais and how she said was great. She was really rubbing it in good to him but there wasn't any way he could take major offense to it. All he could was grin and bear it. That whole scene was done very tastefully. (NT) -- talon, 01:32:59 12/22/01 Sat
  • I watch it again tonight. What was amazing during the scene T'Pol and Archer are talking to Trip about getting pregnant, She keeps her eyes on Trip for at least ten minutes, never taking her eyes off him.

• Hey, Found this info over at the Trek Today Board or whatever you call it...LOL! -- Lost and Spacie, 22:53:35 12/18/01 Tue
  
  Ep Title: Silent Enemy
  Ep # 112 (WHY do they always start numbering in the hundreds, anyway??????)
  
  Orgininal Airdate: January 16, 2002
  
  Written by: Andre Bormanis
  
  Notes: Rumoured to feature an unknown ship trailing the Enterprise, not responding to any attempst to communicate. Completely outclassed, Archer orders the Enterprise to return to Jupiter to install the cannons that Starfleet was unable to install becasue of the ship's swift departure to Qo'nos. But even as the ship ruses back to Jupiter, Tucker and Reed work overtie to try and install the weapons themselves and get some kind of defense against the alien ship, which is continuing its stealth attacks.
  
  Dominic Keating: "We've got one episode coming up, 'Silent Enemy,' where we kick some serious butt."
  
  
  THEN The NEXT episode thing says:
  
  Ep Title: Dear Doctor
  Ep # 113
  
  Orig. Airdate: 23 Jan 2002
  
  Note: Features the first mention of the Ferengi.
  
  Rumoured to feature the Enterprise encounering the planet Valakis, containing a pre-warp civilizaton inhabited by two alien races. The planet suffers from an unknown disease that is killing the population, and Captain Archer quickly agrees to help find a cure. But when the Aliens also ask for the secret of warp technology he is not so sure, and finally begins to realize the Vulcans may also have been right in not giving humans warp technology. Also rumoured to feature a romance for Dr. Phlox.
  ----------------
  
  I don't know... Both of these sound KIND of like eps that have already aired.
  
  I have NO idea if the info on this site is ANYTHING more then RUMOUR, or if ANY of the info is correct. It DOES say things like, "Rumoured to.... etc."
  
  Anyway... just a few crumbs for the starving Enterprise fans... me being one of them. Perhaps we could DISCUSS???????
  
  TUOODLES!!!!

    • You know me --- long posts are perfectly welcome! LOL! Seriously! I also wish that they'd sometimes come up with more original/haven't-been-done-before kinds of eps......but having different characters deal with situations similar to those that other characters have had to deal with can be interesting too. *IF* they have a new twist or a different outcome. Like Frances, I'm interested in seeing how the "Prime Directive" evolves. I am thinking that Archer & Co. are going to be making several significant boo-boos when they "helpfully" interfere with other cultures. That'll not only make them think about protocols when dealing with others; but will perhaps give them a better understanding/respect for the cautious Vulcans. (NT) -- MichelleB, 21:52:57 12/21/01 Fri

  • Well, one thing I'm finding.... and perhaps this has been in ALL the ST shows and it is just dawning on me now... It SEEMS they keep rehashing (at least parts) of the same story. When I was retyping this over here, I kept thinking... This IS a new EP, right.... The part about the mysterious illnesss killing people on the planet? They've done that TWICE already. The cave people dieing for radiation, and the people on the planet that Archer smootched the woman on were dieing because of some "mysterious" ailment caused by the reactor thing..... MAN... The enterprise is the ST equivalent to Little Joe Cartright proposing marriage!!! LOL! ALSO... the above mentions something about a ship shadowing or stalking them... etc. They JUST DID THAT! The invisible ship guys that was hiding in their exhaust.. remember? GOSH... Am I being picky? I don't remember thinking this before. Oh well. I REALLY enjoy the show, no matter. I HOPE that TRIP gets more screen time... I think he (NT) -- is going to come out as the real star attraction.

  • To answer your rhetorical question, ST (and I suppose other shows) assigns production numbers to each episode. TNG, Voyager and Enterprise each began with 101 (actually the 2-hour pilots were in the 720s). DS9 had to be different, though: its production numbers began with 401. There. More than anyone ever wanted to know!! BTW, when I was a kid, I memorized all the prod. #s for TNG :) (NT) -- Emily H., 16:32:34 12/20/01 Thu

• I just saw this in the T.V. Guide. Under Best of the Year 2001..... -- Lost and Spacie, 18:56:18 12/18/01 Tue
  
  THE CLASSIC
  Enterprise
  After years of buzz-free coasting, the Star Trek frnachise smartly returned to its roots and reinvigorated itself with UPN's enjoyable prequel, Enterprise. This unpretentious adventure series, set 100 years before the original, has the feel of a Western, as a crew of interstellar pioneers (led by the likable Scott Bakula) fumble their way into strange new worlds. Their heroics are rough around the edges in all the right ways.
  
  It also has a picture from (I believe) a new ep we haven't seen yet. It shows Archer carrying - oh WHAT is her NAME! Smiley, the Vulcan woman. She appears to have a "hole" in her side. She is unconcious. There looks to be smoke or something in the room they are in. It shows the back of another character I can't id. Possible the weapons officer guy. It also shows the face (in the background) of what looks like to me to be a Vulcan guy. They APPEAR to be in some sort of wherehouse or barn.

• Enterprise -- talon, 00:22:50 11/30/01 Fri
  I like the new show this season. They have a good cast of characters. I like the bond that is being created between Trip and T'Pol. Especially in the episode they intercept a letter to her. She shows some annoyance but appreciates having Trip to talk to. I think she like the idea of being expose to new ideas but also likes knowing more then the others. Giving advice on dealing with other species. I think she also likes the idea of expressing her opinions when in command positions but also excepting the captain's orders. But most of all I like it when she was talking to Trip about her wedding plans. About whether or not she should leave the enterprise or stay. Whether or not she should get married. That even though her culture is rich in tradition doesn't mean it is always right. That she has choices and it's up to her to make the choice not someone before her time. I think she really enjoys learning more about a new culture even though she can't stand the smell of humans.
  
  
  The only thing so far I really don't like is Archer's self righteous moral outlook that his morals are better then others.

  • I agree with much of your take on T'Pol. I, too, really liked the scenes with Trip whre she is asking his opinion on her wedding dilemna. But I kind of disagree aobut Archer being self-righteous. I really hate that characteristic and I haven't really seen it in Archer. I'll be on the lookout for it in the future. Which times did you think he came across that way? I haven't felt he was moralistic either. But perhaps I have been distracted by shower scenes and such! LOL! (NT) -- MichelleB, 00:26:41 12/01/01 Sat
    • He doesn't do it every episode. But I do remember that last week he was that way. My brother and his little girl were over and we were watching it. It was the one he was dealing with the freighter crew. They had caapture an alien. They had their idea of how to deal with him. Then along came Johnny boy. After he did a good thing helping the crew make their repairs he comes back and tells the 2nd that if he didn't release the alien to him he was going to take back all his parts that he gave the crew. And at the end he goes into another spreel about something. He also has the tendency to blow off T'Pol when she gives him advice about dealing with new cultures. But over all this a good show with some good characters who are coming together pretty good. The first year of a new show is always the hardest as the characters establish themselves.

      • You are SOOOOOO right about that last thing. I recently watched a few of the early-in-Season-1 TNG eps and some of the characters were just awful compared with how they ended up being written/depicted. I think Enterprise is worth hanging in there with too. (NT) -- MichelleB, 17:45:55 12/02/01 Sun
      • Hi talon! ITA about Archer not taking T'Pol's advice seriously at times...the ep where they find that earth-like planet was a prime example...T'Pol made a good point that they should send down probes and such first before putting people down...but Archer totally overruled her...and in front of everyone else too...it wasn't so much the overruling as the WAY he did it...he didn't even CONSIDER her point for a moment! I can understand how they might find it hard to have to wait a week when such an exciting planet is right under their noses...BUT...Archer didn't even THINK about a compromise...they could sent out some probes to gather information, THEN put people out there...they might have detected the toxin in the pollen this way and saved each other a LOT of grief...but...then again, it wouldn't have made for much of an ep...LOL! (NT) -- Canrane -- ok, fine...we want a good ep, right? (well, even though I didn't really like this one much) So Archer COULD have sent out a probe, but it wouldn't have detected the pollen...THEN I would have been ok with what happened in that ep! LOL, 09:53:14 12/13/01 Thu
        • I have a feeling that they have ARchger behave that way to underline his antagonism towards the Vulcans for "holding Earthlings back". I think that he still thinks (and he may be right) that while T'Pol *may* be warming up a teensy tiuny bit to the humans, she still may have her own agenda. Archer doesn't trust her. BUt you're right......being a LITTLE prudent and careful is NOT a bad thing! (NT) -- MichelleB, 19:47:17 12/13/01 Thu

• Hot! Hot! Hot! -- Frances Did I forget to mention how hot Archer looked?, 07:05:04 11/15/01 Thu
  Wasn't Archer's away outfit great! He was very stylin' last night. I love that he kissed her to work on his translator! What a hoot! And that she figured it out! I really like this show-Action, Drama, Sex! Ok, no sex, but she wasn't a space bimbo! A step up for the ST universe! My only complaint & it a trival one, is that T'Pol didn't specifically wear her hair to cover her ears-Hoshi wore her hair in a manner that would have been perfect for T'Pol! Pick, Pick, Pick.....
  Ok, now I have that song from "The Music Man" running thru my brain...Pick alittle, talk alittle, etc.

    • LOL! Great minds think alike! I thought that about the hair too! ANd YES -- in the grand tradition of James T.

She had ALL this ALIEN stuff happening around her. I mean, think about it, she hadn't seen anything like that before! Anyway, she BARELY reacted to it. That's what "I" was thinking, anyway. She was like, Ho Hum, I'm making out w/ a being from another planet, Ho Hum, they have weapons the likes of which I've never imagined, Ho Hum, there's a space ship hovering over my bean field, ho hum. That was my take. She reminded me of the "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful girl" in the movie w/ her husband she witnesses mass murder and she barely bats an eye. Uh.. that's all. Continue....

• Good show-but get real........ -- Frances, 06:09:23 11/30/01 Fri
  No security guy would stand by & let unknowns have access to the ship with out checks & balances. Plus Reed/Keating should have had a bigger role in this one as he is the goto security person.He is the one who should have been chasing Sulik at the end, and he would have got him!I know that this is SB's show, but...no captain/general/admiral would do that! He is just too important,esp. out in space, to take the chance that he might be killed. I always said the same thing about Kirk!

• "Dog Missing" Grieving owner interviewed....(A Round Robin Started by Michy-missing her pooch!) -- Frances, 06:46:04 11/19/01 Mon
  It was a dark and starry night. Jonathan Archer noticed right away that something was amiss. No welcoming ball of fur to greet him, no doggie puddles adorning his cabin, no lovepup "offerings" to clean up. He worriedly looked around
  and then called T'Pol. "Who has Porthos??" he queried her.
  "Captain, all crewmembers have had all their shots for that." Dr. Flox chimed in.
  No claimed to know anything, and Archer was beginng to fret-Thanksgiving was nigh & the crew hadn't had real food in a long, long time.

  He's really not what is usually my "type" -- but he is funny and smart and sincere and decent and real and I LIKE HIM!
  
  And yes -- those Vulcans are really something, aren't they?
  
  This was a great ep.
  
  But while I understand the need for the humans to show the Vulcans that they have "some of age" or whatever -- I don't think the way Archer goes about it is terribly effective.
  
  I'n not saying he should try to be less "human" -- not at all.......
  
  But I think he could have been more ...... SOMETHING with that Vulcan Captain.
  
  It's funny -- I adore Scott Bakula, but with every ep I find more and more to like and enjoy from every character except for his! "Archer" just is so vanill-pudding-balnd somehow --

Also, I just plain had trouble being interested. You know... I think I just really like the Trip character and he wasn't in this one much. Perhaps that is why this ep didn't float my boat. Hmmmm.... Since I never watched SB in his other series except for a handful of eps, I've never really seen the attraction for him. Perhaps w/ time. I suppose I am agreeing w/ Michy here. I like trip and really don't have as much attachement to the Captain character. I DO like him. But... Trip is definitely the star of the show for me. Oh, I also like the doctor.

  As I was taking my walk at lunch today I saw a rather odd sight.....an Andorian talking on a cell phone. I wished for a camera at that moment. :) Do you think those antennas give them better cell phone reception.....?
  
  What will make Michy hate me is that I go visit my friend on a regular basis and come across similar sights all the time.

• Those darned emotional Vulcans--I never did get them. -- T'racy, 16:14:23 11/08/01 Thu
  I LOVED tonight's ep. Methinks T'Pol has a crush on Trip! LOL!!
  
  This ep really showed that--deny it as they might--Vulcans have plenty of emotion brewing under the surface. They try not to act on it, or show it, but it's definitely there.
  
  T'Pol was clearly annoyed (an emotion), defensive, irritated, etc. at Trip. Archer even said something about watching himself when he went to see her, as if she'd be furious--an emotion. And why would she care if everyone knew her personal business if she really had no emotions?
  
  Then there was that prejudiced Captain. Was it logical to be so rude and condescending? Talk about arrogance!
  
  I've never--in all my 30 years of being an ST fan--quite understood how Vulcans can function without emotion, and I've never seen them as possessing absolutely none. I've decided they have plenty of emotion. They just like to pretend they don't. Why else would they need to go to sanctuaries to "purge" themselves of emotion, as in last week's ep?

    • I agree with you Frances. I think the reason the Vulcans are so put off by us is because they havent been around us for a long period of time. Remember they live a lot longer than we do so it will take some generations to pass before they might open up more to humans. They have progressed a lot by the time we are used to seeing them in the earlier shows (later time period) and I think that is great. That is the best thing about the new show, we get to see how things started and how they progressed to what we the fans are used to seeing. (NT) -- Ian M, 14:20:48 11/09/01 Fri
  • Well -- I think that Spock (as was suggested several times in TOS) felt the need to behave as an uber-Vulcan due to his "mixed" heritage. And even in Kirk/Spock's time -- very few Vulcans served in Star Fleet or had much to do with Humans. I also think that it has been suggested in the other series and some of the "canon" books --- that VUlcans *do* CLAIM to have purged emotion from their society and culture -- but that it is more of an ideal and NOT strictly a given fact. And there's the difference between not ACTING on emotions and letting them drive you and not having any at all. I think it's been suggested that Vulcans like to TELL other species that they do not HAVE emotions, when what it really is, is that they are committed to never ACTING on their emotions. Maybe.

• Re: Breaking the ice. -- T'Karen, 20:54:31 11/07/01 Wed
  All I can say is WOW! Tonight's ep. was terrific! Loved, loved, loved the snowman and the hysterical response to the fourth graders. Archer was less at ease addressing a bunch of fourth graders than he was with that reptillian Vulcan captian. The doctor was funny as always and can mention I again how great Trip is? Sanitation engineer! LOL! Shoes made from "waste" eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww! Shudder.
  The best thing was Trip and T'Pol. They really were starting to "break the ice." I loved the scene with the pecan pie esp. because I had pecan pie and milk for dessert tonight. And the scene in her quarters was terrific. Subconconcious or not she wanted to be convinced to call off the wedding and she knew he would do it. Way to give T'Pol's character a little dimension and deepen her relationship with Trip. I am starting to actually like her.
  All in all a great ep.!

Was I the only one who thought that the Vulcan captain was T'pol's father????Why else the snarly remark as he was leaving. I'm not so sure I like that all the Vulcans are portrayed as bigoted, rude, and lying sac'o'merdes!How unlogical! How emotional! How human!

  Yeserday I tried to come here & Voy pops up a message saying there is not such forum!!!?? Same with BLA!!!And Maeve's was there-you couldn't post. Weirdness. It's those sneaky Vulcans, I am sure! Who knew Vulcan could be sneaky???And lie, and snatch blankets????They seriously need a Kolinnar(sp) retreat!!!! Now, we all need to release our inner demons, but those Andorians were pretty sexist! How come they were just harrassing T'Pol? Not the men? All she'd have to do is threaten to pop their antenna & they'd run for the hills! Whoops, bad phrasing. And do Vulcans threaten? Or is it too emotional. Maybe they state, dryly, that they will defend themselves, if neccesary! LOL Anyway I think any Andorian would have better luck with Trip or Archer, than one of the Vulcans....think Vulcan Nerve Pinch!

• TV Guide.... -- T'Karen, 17:22:49 11/05/01 Mon
  Hey I just got next week's TV Guide and one of their critics praised Enterprise! Fess up Michy you have been whispering in Matt Roush's ear haven't you? LOL! He likes Enterprise for all the same reasons you do - ie. it is a prequel, the characters aren't jaded etc. I was so happy that he liked it and encouraged people to watch. He even compared it to Farscape. High praise indeed. I like Enterprise alot but I don't think it is on the same plane as Farscape. That show blows me away with the caliber of its writing and acting. I do think that Enterprise has potential. It will just take some time and creative risks for it to be in Farscape's league.

  This ep was pretty good.
  
  I am lilking Trip more and more. Archer needs some work, though. I don't know --- I just am not warming up to him...OR T'Pol.
  
  Spock had that eyebrow thing he did to kind of show what he was feeling without him having to show feelings....if you know what I mean. T'Pol comes across as a robot.
  
  The Andorian's antennae were pretty cool. And rather creepy!

    • ITA agree with you, Canrane....about Archer. He does seem to lack a commanding presence. He's not like Picard or Kirk...they exuded authority...they had a certain air of command about them. Having said all that..I still like Archer. But my favorite ones are the doctor and Trip. (NT) -- LisaR, 00:07:44 11/04/01 Sun
  • ITA about Trip. I love his attitude. T'Pol's best scene's have actually been with him. They play off each other like Spock and Bones. Trip needs a line like the famous, "Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor not a.... " And just once I want the Doctor to say, "He's dead John." LOL. ITA about Archer. S.B. is capable of a lot more. What Archer needs is some real angst. On Q.L. he was never better than the episode where Sam leaped home and tried to save his family from the bad things that were awaiting them. He needs something meaty like that to work with. It wouldn't hurt if Dean Stockwell guest starred either. They were terrific together.

    • Okay people are going to think I am weird but here goes... I actually have a little thing for Bones. DK didn't age very well but during the run of the original Trek he was actually reasonably good looking. Most of all I just loved Mcoy. Spock provided the logic and Kirk provided the courage but Bones provided the concience. Len. Nimoy once said that in Shakespearen terms, "Spock would say, to be, Mcoy would say, not to be, and Kirk would say, that is the question." I loved that!

• ‘And all things Trek’ -- Pat, 09:09:22 10/25/01 Thu
  Cannot contribute to the discussion on the new series but it does say ‘and all things Trek’
  I really hope our TV channel’s PTB (in South Africa) buy this Star Trek as it sounds really good. I grew up with Captain Kirk so for me that version is still the best. I watched the one with Piccard a short while but was a bit of a let down. Voyager and DS9 I never watched but my daughter did and enjoyed. I never liked Janeway.
  So I have to say that, like Lu, Captain Kirk was the best captain but I think that the new one may change my thinking as I like SB much more than WS. I think the original ST just had a wonderful cast and I liked them all, though Spock and the doctor were my favourites, and their interaction was great.
  Still have one film on tape for nostalgic days (when they saved the whale population)

  I want to see how we went from Eugenics War to now!
  I want Randy Vasquez as a Vulcan!!! With his shirt torn ala
  James T. Kirk! Or as any alien, but with the shirt thing going on. Or Archer, Trip, Mayweather, or that english guy w/o loads of clothing. I really think this should be a clothing-optional trip, don't you!
  I want to see an explanation of why there are different Klingons. Waffle-headed vs. Non-brainac types-(I know why, I just want it used in an episode!)
  More humor! More Space-babes(MALE!)More cohesive plots! More thought put into the situations,ie:Prime Directives, decontam protocol set in place & get the transporter up to snuff-it really helps plots move along!
  Please chime in with what you want to see-Me, I'm stuck in 8th grade(more nude males, giggle!)

  First off, MichelleB, thank you for re-posting you MB address over at Maeve's -- I forgot to bookmark it when you first posted it.
  
  I'm Tess. I live in the Twin Cities (that's in Minnesota -- do people know that? I'm never sure, so I always clarify.)
  
  So far, I'm enjoying the show. I've never been a big Star Trek fan. At one point, I was watching the one with Patrick Stewart (Yoyager?) with an old boyfriend almost every night and one night we both said we had to quit watching this or we'd turn into fans.
  
  I'm mostly in Enterprise because of Scott Bakula and last week's shower scene was great!!!

  This was a fun episode! Some great acting, and a slightly goofy, but hot shower scene. Was Scott really doing his impression of "Spring Morn"?(My parents always teased us about running around semi-clothed, with that!)He was looking fine-Um-Um! He couldn't have had much on-maybe a banana patch or something!And Trip didn't look too bad in his BVD's! I'm liking that we're seeing more male beefcake, then female. Oh, and the story was good. Although I agree with Carane??? that why would they need Trip's help. It's like asking a model T worker from 1920 to help repair a Lamborghini! LOL

  Some comments about last nights episode:
  
  1) I liked it...not as amusing as last weeks, but, well...it sure beats doing Calculus homework, eh? LOL!
  
  2) I really liked the "lost colony" idea...it captures that "frontier"/"exploration" feeling! Especially since I remember reading about something like this that DID happen in RL...I think it was in Virginia somewhere...it's in my old Child Craft books...it's the same thing though...it's even called the "Lost Colony"...the first colonists went out to set up an intial settlement, and when the second group came they found that the colonists were struggling...harsh climate, not enough food, disease (I think)...they send some people back to England for help...they come back and they're all gone! Everything was abandoned, no sign of disease or war or anything...whole town looked as if everyone was just at a town meeting or something...etc...no one ever really figured out what happened to them! But now they think that they just inter-married with the local Indians or something, because some of the nearby tribes had people whose names were kinda English...very fascinating story! But then again, I'm a sucker for mystery! LOL! Easter Island? Stone Henge? Bigfoot? Atlantis? Nazca Lines??? LOL! I'm there!
  
  3) Well...actually, there isn't anything else...but I couldn't just leave it at 2)...it seems so..so...unfinished??? But now it is! So...
  
  The End!

  I know there aren't very many of us who post on this board yet, but one of you is bound to be creative (or at least more than me!)
  
  I would really like to see an alternate ending-type fic for "Unexpected": What if Trip had had to carry the baby to full-term? It could be that the crew didn't find the Zirillians or that when they did find them, he was too far along to transfer the fetus, or some other scenario. His is an interesting character, and I would have loved to have seen his reactions if the story had been taken further.
  
  I'd write it myself, but my hands are full with student teaching and a Voyager story I've been working on for 6 months. If you write such a story, or find one elsewhere, e-mail me.

  The only one I know for sure is Archer! LOL! So...who's the Vulcan(?) chick??? (and oh yeah...where do the FIND these incredibly skinny people??? I swear, she turned sideways and I had to bring out my magnifying glasses to find her torso! LOL!) And the Chief Engineer guy?

(My ST knowledge runs only so far as recognizing Klingon's...and that's IT! LOL!) And who is that guy with the accent? I don't even know WHAT type of accent it is! And you talked about "Hoshi" is she the asian girl on the bridge?? And I *think* I know who Mayweather is now...sorta...

  Does no one on this ship read fiction! You never go out on a planet w/o masssive checks! Yellow flowers are da bomb! Read the Darkover series, read most scifi. It all starts with an idiot crew not following protocol & running into a situation that gets out of control. Many red shirts die & several characters you have come to love get ill/die, too!
  It's so trite, that it was old when the first ST did it! Are there no rules on this ship on how not to mess up a planet,or even an away trip! What happened to the decon after this visit?
  Enough already- I liked it.
  No red shirts died(you notice there are NO redshirts!But new crewmembers are always suspect!)
  I'm liking T'pol more-just alittle repressed drug reaction!
  Trip was Tripping.... They got over their 'psycotic reaction' very swiftly. No hard feelings, embarrassment, whatever to mar the kissypoo atmosphere of ST! If I was T'Pol, I'd be very pissed off right now!Heads would roll!
  OK-so I'm a bad Vulcan, but I have pretty hair, do you still hate me?

    • I **love** the doggie! But let's remember folks that there ARE no protocols! No rule book -- except for the highly cautious Vulcan one that the humans are predisposed to want to toss. They don't trust the Vulcans. They *know* the Vulcans are keeping things from them --- technology, certainly --- but I think they expect that they're keeping OTHER things "secret" too. And the gel thing is, I think, for biological **organisms** --- NOT chemical substances that cuase weird reactions and even death. So, no decontamination.......either that, or they just don't plan on showing it all the time. I like it that they are still figuring out what is prudent and safe and what is TOO cautious and what is stupid. And I **love** the doggie! He is so adorable!!!! Almost as cute as Archer! (NT) -- MichelleB, 18:37:54 10/11/01 Thu
      • There may be no protocols, but there *is* common sense. People get vaccinated for tropical diseases before they go to Africa, for heaven's sake! I would think that the doctor would express concern about visiting an unexplored planet without taking some samples via probe and checking them for little buggies that might be bad for us. Or for Porthos! (NT) -- Laura, 09:50:12 10/12/01 Fri
  • Decontamination is for bacteria, viruses, and litlle buggies picked up everywhere. They decontaminated the guys on the moon visit & it's a dead moon! So it should be protocol, maybe time didn't allow for all that gelling of each other ! More screen time for the pooch! (NT) -- Frances, 07:47:24 10/12/01 Fri
    • I recall from the first ep and the second (I think) that those returning from the away mission WERE scanned -- and only IF "buggies" are found do they have to do the gel thing. So, I think it is safe to assume that they scanned the guy they beamed up and didn't find anything gel-worthy. Or you all have just found the first thing "illogical" aobut Enterprise! LOL!

  The preview for next week's episode looks, umm... interesting. HE's pregnant?!? It would have been funnier if it had been Archer. (QL fans will remember "8-1/2 Months" -- Sam as a pregnant teenager!)

• Top 10 Things I Like About Enterprise -- Laura, 12:20:11 10/09/01 Tue
  10) Archer's line when the Suliban chick changed appearance after she kissed him--"That's never happened before." Hee!9)The "phase pistols" look sooo Buck Rogers!
  8) The stairs up from the little shuttlecraft are suspended by good old-fashioned chain!
  7) Everything is so cramped-looking--I like the submarine atmosphere.
  6) Archer telling T'Pol he wanted to knock her on her ass! Woo-hoo!
  5) Malcolm Reed's sexy English accent (he sounds so much like Julian Bashir!).
  4) The casual clothes--like Hoshi's red tank top from the premiere. They look like something we would wear, which makes this whole show seem so much more believable.
  3) In Fight or Flight, Trip wanting so badly to visit the alien ship while Hoshi wasn't thrilled at all. Everybody reacts differently to the unknown, and it was nice to see that acknowledged.
  2) The whole premise of ForF, where the Enterprise is so outclassed and needs the help of the aliens to survive. It's nice to have a real sense of danger about the show. There's nothing ho-hum about it!
  1) "Tell him to shut up!"
  "SHUT UP!"
  
  I hereby declare Hoshi as my favorite character, whining and all. I think that the characters who have obvious flaws and foibles are the characters with the most to gain over the course of a series. We get to see them grow and learn and become better people. I'll take that over the seemingly-perfect heroes every time.

  • My favorite is T'Pol. I don't think we have seen quite enough of Vulcan females and I can't wait to see more of her. I agree with you about Reed and Bashir's accents. I love them. I also love Marcus Cole on Babylon 5. He had the same accent and that combined with his looks just knocked me out. Here's hoping for a long and exciting mission for the newest (or is that the oldest?) Enterprise. (NT) -- T'Karen, 18:55:25 10/09/01 Tue
  • It's good to see you here, Laura! HTat *is* you, isn't it? Laura the Data Goddess? LOL! I am really liking Enterprise. I was predisposed to since I love Star Trek and I really like Scott Bakula. And as much as I liked TNG, it was so "sterile" -- I mean the Enterise was so CLEAN and bright and shining and big and everyone was brilliant and a genius and knew everything about everything. I like THIS Enterprise better. I find the characters very believable and accessible. They are NOT "perfect". They do NOT know everything. They get scared. I like that. (NT) -- MichelleB, 23:03:37 10/09/01 Tue
    • Yep, it's me! I'm glad you set up this board, Michelle. I was wanting to discuss the Big E, and it's really nice to have a place to go where I know somebody already! ;-) I love Scott Bakula, too (I was one of the six people who watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith religiously) so I am really enjoying E.

      • Aahh--Mr. and Mrs. Smith! Well, just call me person #5, 'cause I *loved* that show! (NT) -- AmandaW, 16:10:20 10/10/01 Wed
        • Person no. 4 right here. I loved that show. Scott B. and Maria Bello were terrific. This year the show Theives is similar but not as good. TPTB at Trek were very smart to cast Scott B.

  • Just wanted to say "hi", Laura! We've missed you *so* much at Maeve's--drop by when you have the chance! :) (NT) -- AmandaW (who was actually going to give this show a try...just to find out that UPN isn't part of my cable line-up despite the fact that we get the Oxygen channel, Hallmark channel, WE, and many other unknown or obscure channels...go figure.), 11:56:54 10/10/01 Wed
    • Thanks, Amanda--it's nice to see you! Good luck in getting access to UPN--they now carry two of the shows I watch regularly (E and Buffy), so I hope they get better coverage nationwide soon! (NT) -- Laura, 12:04:06 10/10/01 Wed
    • Check your CBS station at really bad times, like 1 am Sunday night/Monday morning. My cable gets two CBS stations, one in Indianapolis and one in Terre Haute. The TH station carries Buffy and Roswell at that time period, I'm assuming TH doesn't have a UPN station close by and since CBS and UPN are owned by the same company they might have some sort of reciprocal agreement. I haven't seen any promos for Enterprise on that station yet, so I don't know if they are showing it or not. (NT) -- Jen, 01:55:33 10/11/01 Thu

• Anyone else want to slap T'Pol?? -- Tracy, 23:25:58 10/10/01 Wed
  If T'Pol doesn't soften up soon, I may be turning off on this show.
  
  She is SO annoying. She doesn't like anything, or anyone. She doesn't even like exploration and discovery, which was Spock's passion. What good is she, and why is she qualified to be second in command when she doesn't see things at all like the Captain?
  
  I would LOVE for the Engineer to grab her and kiss her and make her FEEL something. I hope they continue to up the sexual tension between them, but only if there are results somewhere down the line.

    • Oh I'm sure that all the characters will change.......but I seriously doubt that they'll have Trip grab her! Oh my! LOL! Unless there's another "everyone is high on an alien substance and out of their minds" epsiode! I think that eventually we will see her learn to appreciate humans........and the humans to appreciate her/VUlcans.......but even Spock was damn prickly at times (and I ADORED him! LOL!). BUt to answer your question --- yes - I have wanted to give T'Pol a good slap upside the head! LOL! ANd waht is it with the stupid haircut. T'Pring and Amanda and T'Pau didn't have ugly haircuts....so why T'Pol? Hmmm? (NT) -- MichelleB, 18:48:49 10/11/01 Thu
      • Maybe her hair is due to the Vulcans being stuck in a fashion era of bad hair. Sorta like the 50's and 60's here with bouffants and beehives and all. After all, this is a bit before T'Pring's time...hey, waitaminute! Didn't T'Pau have a beehive!? Maybe that's the path hair evolution took on Vulcan--the one area where humans were more advanced. "Yes, we achieved the beehive far before the Vulcans. And we passed the bowling ball stage early as well."

• Question of the Day: What would it take to make Mayweather more interesting? -- Laura, 10:27:32 10/11/01 Thu
  I'm finding him the most cardboard of the characters so far. He and the Doc are my least favorite, though I think Mayweather has more potential than the Doc right now. So what needs to happen for Mayweather to stand out? The whole space-boomer thing could have been good if they'd *done* something with it. I was expecting him to display some agoraphobia--*that* would have been appropriate. *sigh* So help me out here! Somebody think of something quick!
  
  In the same vein, what could be done to make the Doctor something other than a Neelix clone on Valium?

I've got Archer, T'Pol, Trip, Hoshi, and the doctor (and why in the WORLD didn't they make up a name that had no "earthly" connotations? When I hear "Phlox", I think of a carpet of pretty flowers! LOL!)....anyway......Mayweather is the "Boomer" ...the young black guy who grew up on spaceships? Then what's the guy's name who has the English accent? I find *him* rather a cipher so far. I have heard rumors that they *might* make him gay. I think that would be just fine......but I seriously doubt that the STPTB (Star Trek Powers That Be) folks would "go there" --- where no science fiction show has gone before!!!!!!!!! LOL! But if they can have a pregnant male human....then why the heck not? LOL! (NT) -- MichelleB, 18:42:50 10/11/01 Thu
    • Malcolm, the weapons officer. The guy with the British accent. Travis Mayweather, is the young guy who grew up on spaceships and was talking about not feeling right in different gravity types. So yeah, you've pretty much got everyone down! (NT) -- Jen, 00:11:27 10/12/01 Fri
    • Given Malcolm's reaction to the Butterfly Lapdancers, I suspect the gay thing may be out (pun intended). Too bad. If handled well, it could be a refreshing twist for the show. I remember how great the episode of DS9 was where Jadzia met up with her old flame--in a woman's body. They handled that beautifully, kiss and all. (NT) -- Laura, 09:45:39 10/12/01 Fri

• Captain's Poll... -- T'Karen (Let's get ready to rumble!), 17:37:55 10/10/01 Wed
  Okay it has been a few weeks now. We can offically add Archer to the great, on-going, who is the best captain debate. So who do you like best? Kirk, Piccard, Sisko, Janeway, or (drumroll please) Jonthan Archer?
  And who would win a WWF smackdown?
  Also who do you think is the smartest?

  • Picard may be the smartest. And I think Sisko could kick butt. But I am really liking Archer. But then, I've always liked Scott Bakula. I really did NOT like Janeway. And I thought Kirk was something of a cartoon. I liked him -- but he was just too "I am the great and fabulous babe-magnet Kirk". Archer comes across more like SIsko -- quietly sure of himself and terrifically competent without being "in your face" about it. Picard certainly proved how tough he was -- but to me, he came across as more cerebral. Probably because he was the only ST captain who stayed ont eht ship most of the time and let his ssecond do the away team jazz! LOL! (NT) -- MichelleB, 19:49:21 10/10/01 Wed
    • Oh come on Michelle how could you not like Janeway? :-). I would agree with about the other captains. I would take Sisko in a fight, Picard to do an I.Q. test, Kirk to get the babe, and Archer to be the all around good guy. I do think Archer could be very good and he does have the handicap of not knowing what in the world he is facing next. The others all had some kind of info to help them out of situations, but Archer has none of that. He has to handle everything on what he feels is the best way to get the job done. (NT) -- Ian M, 19:57:35 10/10/01 Wed
      • Sisko is still my favorite, with Archer second, Picard third, Janeway fourth and Kirk last. But even last is good, because I liked them all. But Sisko has it all over any of them in one big way: passion. This was a guy who lived intensely. I just loved that about him. (NT) -- Laura, 11:27:45 10/11/01 Thu

      • Yes -- that was good, wasn't it? I think that the human/Vulan difference thing is going to be mostly played out between the two of them. I am really really liking it that everyone os NOT infallible. Even the doctor made a bad boo-boo. He was NOT perfect. None of them are. This is going to make for more interesting stories.

  I'm finally getting on the emoticon bandwagon. It took me a while because it seemed cumbersome. But I just figured out an easy way to do it. I saved Rosie's page of emoticons as a webpage on my hard drive (to access it quicker), and now I keep it open in a separate window as I post. That way I can flip over, copy the appropriate guy, and poof! there it is!

• Looking to make Michelle barf (LOL)... -- T'Karen, 21:54:39 10/05/01 Fri
  Okay there are going to be people (yes you Michy) who hate the following idea. What about T'Pol and Archer having some UST? I think I detected just wiff of it. Even without it they have great chemistry. I can only think that this comes from my curiosity over how Sarek and Amanda fell in love, got married, and had Spock. I always thought that one of the great untold stories of the original Trek. I think they could really do a terrific job of showing a blossoming romance between Archer and T'Pol. Naturally they won't. Archer will have a girl at every star and the potential will probably go untapped. I would just love to see it.

  • No -- I'm not going to barf at that (but you KNOW how I feel about romantic angst! LOL!) But instead of Archer, who, as you have suggested, is likely to "get it on" with alien babes (LOL!) -- I think Trip is a more likely candidate. After all -- he and T'Pol REALLY don't get along (a prerequisite for romantic fireworks -- LOL -- I *love* a cliche! LOL!) -- and the two of THEM shared that little "gel" business. So, I say -- look to Trip and T-Pol for *something* -- but seriously -- I really really doubt that TPTB are going to go that route. How about the linguist and the doctor? LOLOLOL!!!!!

  • There were a couple of paperback books in the Star Trek series about the courtship of Amanda by Sarek. -- Oldspice, let's see, could that be D'cloespi (anagram for Oldspice but it looks spacey, doncha think?), 20:36:55 10/08/01 Mon
  • How about T'pol & Dr. Flock(?sp?) He seems urban enough, but I think he's a matchmaker at heart-He's the one who set up the shower scene with Trip & T'Pol-you notice the last week's away team did n't get to gel with each other!

• About the premier of Enterprise -- MichelleB, 17:41:36 09/30/01 Sun
  I liked it.
  
  I was predisposed to like it given as to how I have enjoyued Trek stuff for decades!
  
  AND, I like Scott Bakula.
  
  But it was interesting that while i think he's going to be great as Archer, it was the performances of the supporting cast taht I really enjoyed.
  
  One thing that I found highly irritating about TNG and Voyager, was that EVERYONE on both those ships was some kind of GENIUS and knew EVERYTING about EVERYTHING.
  
  I think I'm going to really like it that equipment is faulty, the crew (while brilliant folks) are excited AND a bit apprehensive about the unknown, and that the things are not so "ho-hum" as they often seemed to be on TNG.
  
  I *MUST* make a comment about hte "gel" scene -- just how gratuitous and stupid could they have gotten?
  
  It had to be applied? There couldn't have been some kind of "shower"-like something they stood under and got drenched by? And what about their faces and scalp? The "beasties" they may have picked up wouldn't be on their faces? LOL! But know we know that T'Pol and what's-his-name have great physiques. Wow -- what a surprise!
  
  Bakula looked nifty in his underwear too.
  
  I fully expect to see EVERYONE in the cast nearly-nude before the first season is over.
  
  I'll pass on seeing the Doctor, thankyouvery much! LOL!
  
  So -- what did you all think?

  • I think Michelle that the reason for that scene is because of the two people responsible for the whole series. Remember it is the same creative team that came up with Voyager. One of the only reasons to add Jerry Ryan to the cast was for the "wow" factor. They wanted to boost the ratings and felt that adding a busty blonde would do the trick. They had repeated episodes that glorified this fact and had no real reason in the plot. I think you will see more instances of scenes like this and that has got me worried. Bakula is great and the cast seems well rounded. What I really like is that there is no United Federation of Planents and no prime directirve so they are almost like cowboys from the West searching out new places and taking charge. (NT) -- Ian M, 02:13:14 10/01/01 Mon
    • I like those aspects too, Ian. Even though Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway violated the Prime Directive on MANY occasions, it will be interesting to see Enterprise operate without those constraints. I imagine thme getting into trouble and maybe that trouble is eventually the reason behind adopting the Prime Directive. Possible? LOL! We'll have to wait and see! (NT) -- MichelleB, 10:10:06 10/01/01 Mon
      • That is a good point Michelle. Maybe Bakula is the whole reason for the prime directives!! On another note, while I would agree that all of the above sometimes violated the prime directives Janeway just plane didnt use them at all. She did what she felt like doing and challenged anyone in her crew to say anything about it. It was one of the worst things about Voyager. Janeway said the heck with everything and you are doing what I say, the rules dont matter to me. (NT) -- Ian M, 17:00:34 10/01/01 Mon

Trek does not really have a good record for premiers, but I think this may have been the best start yet. The story was good and the charaters have promise. (NT) (NT) -- RoxieAnna, 15:42:20 10/01/01 Mon
    • Oops. Shouldn't have typed that NT. Hey, I'm new. (NT) -- RoxieAnna, 15:45:24 10/01/01 Mon
      • I'm glad you found us! I agree with you about Enterprise. THe premier was darn good as ST premiers go. Voyager's wasn't bad -- but TNG was pretty awful. I'm looking forward to this new show. I think it has the chance to be the best yet. (NT) -- MichelleB, 16:25:37 10/01/01 Mon
        • I'm not sure a test pattern wouldn't have been better than the TNG premiere ("I too could never say goodbye, Imzadi..." GAK! PTOOIE!) It's a wonder I came to love the show. But the Enterprise premiere--WOWEE! Aside from the GGS (gratuitous gel scene), it was big fun. The best line was Hoshi's "SHUT UP!" Hee! I'm gonna like that girl. (NT) -- Laura, 12:06:15 10/09/01 Tue

• The translator... -- T'Karen, 22:52:58 10/03/01 Wed
  Was anybody else slightly annoyed by the translator (I think her name is Hoshi but I am not sure)? She was so wishy-washy tonight. I loved her first scene in the premiere because she seemed so strong. Tonight she came off so weak. I know it was so she could eventually save the day but it bugged me. When Archer was motivating her and telling her to put space suit on it reminded me of all the times Kirk treated Uhura (and the other women)like children. I always hated that. Oh well I did think it was a good ep. overall.

  • Yep she bugged me too. I missed the first ep so I don't know how she was portrayed. But tonight she was such a whiner. And I hate screamers......couldn't scream like that for a million bucks and a night with the star of that other show we watch! What the heck is this woman doing on a space exploration ship! I liked the Vulcan. Interesting thing is no one really knows how to do things. That's a good thing.... (NT) -- Space Beagle (aka...the Canadian Hussy!), 00:54:01 10/04/01 Thu
  • I think she was supposed to be like that. Let me clarify if I can. Remeber back in the episode when she was talking to the No. 2 and she told him how scared she was of snakes? Well...Her character is a linguist. That is what she knows. She is not even a starfleet officer I think. She does not like life threatening situations. So in the first episode she was not in any real danger. She got to talk to the Klingon which made her happy, but he was no real threat to attack her. And in the scene with the bad alien dudes, she was quite scared and nervous. Well...in tonights episdoe she was put out there in real danger. Her life was on the line. She was freaking out. But the captain calmed her down (with the aid of the Vulcan....oooh the gel.....sorry) and she got back into shape. I saw the episode as giant step foreword for her character and no real leap from what we know about her from the first episode. (NT) -- Ian M, 01:48:41 10/04/01 Thu
    • I agree. Not that I TOTALLY like the female character being somehting of a wimp -- but it was very realistic. I don't even think there *is* anything akin to the "Star Fleet" we all "know". I think she's a linguist period --- alveit with SOME training in other stuff -- like the weapons she mentioned she knew about. I like it how everything is new and strange and scary. Yes, she was a little "whiny" --- but it came across as "true". I think this series could be really interesting and entertaining. (NT) -- MichelleB, 20:34:06 10/04/01 Thu
      • Oh I agree. I like the conceite of the show. It was smart of them to make a prequel. Gives it something different. I do like Hoshi... Okay let me put it this way one of my favorite lines in the book Silence of the Lambs is when Clarice is remembering her father telling her, "If you can't play without squawling, Clarice, go on to the house." I don't mind her being afraid I mind her squawling about it. (NT) -- WebbWacker, 21:03:01 10/04/01 Thu
        • Whoops I must still be in Jagnik mode! LOL (NT) -- T'Karen, 21:05:21 10/04/01 Thu
          • I think I see what you mean. But her actual "screaming" was involuntary. Her kvetching was annoying -- but I even liked that -- it showed her to be less than "perfect". Most of the characters in previous ST shows were completely well-adjusted (with a few notable exceptions!) and brilliant and competent in all arenas and all that. I like the dichotomy of her being absolutely brilliant as a linguist, but a scairdy-cat and less than totally thrilled to be out there where no man has gone before. (NT) -- MichelleB, 21:37:14 10/04/01 Thu
            • Exactly. That's what I think will be the best thing about the show. They dont know what they are going to come accross. Almost everything will be new and seeing them in totally different surroundings and events will make the show great. I hope. (NT) -- Ian M, 03:28:50 10/05/01 Fri
              • Amen! I really liked Hoshi because she's not a buttoned-down, uptight Riker-type. She's not sure of herself, except when she's learning languages. I think that makes for some real potential for character development. That was one of the things I liked least about TNG--there never seemed to be any real potential for the characters to go anywhere. I have high hopes for Enterprise! GO BIG E! (NT) -- Laura (p.s. Great board, Michy! Glad to be here!), 11:57:39 10/09/01 Tue

Most of us may be rabid shippers but that doesn't mean we don't respect your opinion or want to hear it. We enjoy your synopsis, funny comments, logic, and frequent posts. We hope you come back.

  I had a little trouble feeling anything for the slug, but... O.K. moving on...
  
  I LIKE how the translator character is. She's the reluctant hero. She's honest about not wanting to be there. I don't "think" she is star fleet. She's a teacher, isn't she? That more or less got roped into this job? Sure she see's it as the opportunity of a life time, but my take is she is not a trained Starfleet Officer equiped to deal w/ living and working on a Starship that is heading who knows where into who knows what, danger.
  
  I really like the engineer guy. In fact. I just LOVE the characters on this show. EVERYONE is interesting. It's GREAT! LOL! Oh, and the beaglededogue! I have a beaglededoque. His name is Beauregarde. He USED to look like Porthos, til he got old and gray. LOL! And he is RIGHT not to feed that dog anymore cheese - unless they want to do warp nine w/out the engines! LOL! Oh my. What time is it? I need to skidaddle. Great idea, Michy. Fun board, great topic. I just know it will take off. Perhaps in Novemeber I will have a little more time to play here. LOL! No, I'm not threatening anyone! LOL! Later, gator!

• Archer's Eye color on Enterprise... did anyone else notice this -- PB, 15:26:33 10/01/01 Mon
  Ok, noticing eye color and paint color on TV shows are some of my quirks. Did anyone else notice this. Archer had brown eyes as a child. Then when he grew up to be Scott Bakula, his eyes were green. Well you said we could nitpick! I liked the show. So far they re-run it on Satuday nights.

• Welcome! -- MichelleB, 16:29:30 09/30/01 Sun
  Hello all!
  
  And welcome to my first attempt at constructing a message board.
  
  You will notice that I still have a lot to learn.
  
  Perhaps Rosie, Katherine, adn anyone else with a clue will give me a hand.
  
  This one should work very much the same as the others many of us are used to.
  
  You will notice that one can use HTML in the "Name" field.
  
  I will be asking Rosie about hosting an animated emoticon site of my own or perhaps, with her kind permission, STEALING form her! LOL!
  
  I welcom input on how to make this forum more user-friendly.
  
  So --
  
  Tell your friends and your friend's friends and all and sundry that this Board is open!
  
  Wednesday nights here --- Tuesdays -- YOU know where!

  Nice work!
  I loved "Enterprise"! And Scott sure does look good(in clothes and in his BVD's). 'Is that a english cucumber in
  your shorts or are you just really glad to have another show' Bakula is a very versitle actor and has a lot of charm and presence to pull off another good performamce/series. I even like most of the characters,even the doctor, and dislike Gary Graham as a Vulcan(too many JAG stints). Boy, that scene in the decontamination room was too much. Amazing-they used showers in 2001 to decontaminate people-it covers more, faster. Those Vulcans have alot to answer for!

  This looks like a nice place to visit, Michelle. I only saw the premiere in pieces the other night, but am planning on watching the whole thing this evening in a re-broadcast.
  
  Since many of your first posters are crossovers from "that other board," perhaps it is not out-of-place to mention "Capt. Ingels" as a Vulcan official.
  
  Live Long and Prosper, Michelle!
