My impression at the time was that she was a knockoff Seven of Nine, and don't get me wrong, the creators definitely thought that, but Blalock has really nailed it with some...unsupportive...material this season. I was surprised as anyone to find her and Trip's scene at the end where she gets defensive about her age so effective. As long as we're re-writing time, how about we just condense like 6-8 episodes from this season in a two-night 'movie of the week'-type pilot and start over at Season 1 with the Space Nazis? Then Trip and T'Pol's relationship can just be interesting and not DEEPLY, DEEPLY PROBLEMATIC. Who's with me?Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582237401541322274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-82139016418791932892023-01-09T15:34:42.366-06:002023-01-09T15:34:42.366-06:00First time I watched this, I was very much feeling...First time I watched this, I was very much feeling like I didn't care any more, but I had to see it to get past it. Having Archer hyped as the Great Man of Destiny grates on me, and when he 'dies' I didn't dare to hope for one second that they had actually done what I'd have liked them to do - start over without him. He's the captain, not the under-utilized tactical officer.<br />The shifted tone from the much more optimistic TNG and even Voyager also did not sit right with me. If it had not been for Phlox, I would not have pushed through this season.<br /><br />I'm more charitable towards Archer these days. By now, he's come a long way from his early nonsense. You can reasonably hope he would not take Porthos on away missions any more without pretty careful consideration, and it's been a long time since he did his anti-Vulcan thing. But having him shoved onto me as some great (cis male white) hope seriously irks me, still. And it is not going to go away entirely even in the fourth season. But it will get less overt, and that's something.<br />And I can appreciate the acting much better now. Sometimes it hurts a little to watch the cast struggle to make the writing work, but there is such talent here.<br /><br />Not looking forward to the space Nazis, but bring'em on. I'm seeing clear skies somewhere ahead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
