To be fair I'd sooner run a thousand experiments before I spent one minute with Ashley Judd.

Enterprise had some real problems with its overall tone. Like, it's set before tos, so they went for a nostalgic old timey feeling intro, and everyone is old fashioned and talks really slow and has hound dogs and like, no dammit these are the first humans in space they would be really stoked and all about leaving that all behind

Also, Enterprise happens about 90 years after First Contact, when humans were scattered tribes living like they were in a Fallout game. Can't really see Earth going from that to Utopia in that time span. You'd not only be excited to be exploring where no one has gone before, but you'd be pretty drat glad to get away from the radioactive shithole and probably get the best food available.

Also, gently caress this thread. Now I've got to watch Balance of Terror again.

I bet the Vulcans regretted giving earth replicators and space charts as we then started breeding like bunnies and wearing space jumpsuits and driving around in gunships exploration vessels.

At some point Janeway made Neelix sort of a crew liason, and he was laying out a list of crew grievances. At the end of the list he mentioned that there aren't enough "facilities" to go around and finishes with something to the effect of "and we all know what a Bolian can do to a bathroom!"

I think it was implied that their excretions were caustic. I think they also mentioned that this made sex and reproduction between bolians and humans problematic, but I'm tired and I don't want to think about this anymore.

I'm surprised that culturally humans seem so anti-vulcan. It seems like after uplifting humans from a post-atomic hellscape into a warp capable united world a lot of humans would be super into vulcan culture and philosophy. Humans should be much less impulsive and emotional after a century of guidance. There should be vulcan monasteries all over the place and tons of devoted humans who all want to become more vulcan.

Keep in mind the most of the main crew was from Starfleet's Top Gun program and those pointed eared bastards wouldn't give them faster engines.

God these last Enterprise episodes have been terrible, I know it apparently gets better.

"I took my loving dog to an alien planet full of extremely fussy people and now they're offended and my dog is sick and I only care that my dog is sick to the point of nearly abandoning my job as captain"

"These people won't sell us fuel because klingons are bullying them. Let's help them set up a really poorly conceived plan to... sort of rough up and shame the klingons because that will totally make them go away forever"

"T'pol has to capture a guy, it's making her EMOTIONAL. The guy says he's a good guy. T'pol is emotional and confused, why would she be arresting an innocent person??? Oh poo poo he tipped over a table which has resulted in the entire space port catching on fire. A loving starport built by a space faring civilization is currently on fire because someone tipped a candle onto the wooden floor. How will we ever capture this guy?!?! We have weapons that can instantly stun people, but we better have a pointlessly long chase and fight scene. Oh wait he was bad after all, so t'pol doesn't need to worry about emotions"

I like to think that Q pulled the same stunt with the Borg on Guinan's people, except instead of admitting they couldn't handle it, she tried the hand thing, and Q was like "oh no I'm undone" and hosed off, leaving them to get borgified.
