Would love to know how scrappy underdog Earth beat the Romulan Star Empire in a head-to-head matchup.

I bet the answer involves friendship, science, and a little bit of luck ;)

Yea, that's one of the best parts of ENT, is you watch Archer become the kind of captain that everyone's used to. Picard starts off being a top shelf Starfleet captain. Sisko is about the only other captain you see do any kind of growth, but there's not a ton there.

No there was one ep with an alternate timeline where he wakes up with amnesia to learn he got a brain injury and the Xindi end up blowing up Earth because T'Pol made a bad decision in his place. I think she rammed a ship and they lost warp so they couldn't stop the Xindi from reaching Earth. Anyway I thought she also revealed they are married but that was just my imagination and would be pretty weird on T'Pol considering his condition lol

He's perfectly capable of speech, the chair just censors profanity due to Starfleet linguistic guidelines for admirality.

My impression is that while, yes, Archer starts off as a whiny nepobaby that his experiences were slowly turning him into an ideal Starfleet captain and frontier diplomat. Maybe if the show ran longer we'd see more of that evolution. Maybe he would even come to appreciate why the Vulcans were so hesitant about humanity getting out there instead of being mad about it. The fact that he was mad about it was why the Vulcans were worried, but they underestimated humanity's ability to grow and mature when exposure to new ideas and cultures.

I'm still sad ENT got pulled just as it was getting good.

That would've been a great direction to take Archer's character. In season 1.

I'm watching Stargate SG-1 right now and about 5 percent of the episodes are great, 25% are good, 20% are ok, and %50 are bad

The best part of the Mirror opening is that if you watch the clips that are used, you've got a submarine from Hunt for Red October blowing up a submarine from U-571

Not the first thing from Hunt for Red October to be used in Star Trek!

I regret to inform you that this is a myth, Netflix shows are just as grinding. Jenny Ortega was flown to Romania and then worked 14 hr days from Sept 2021 to Mar 2022.

I mention Romania bc Netflix is notoriously cheap and part of it's keeping production costs down is doing this bit where they send the whole production to Eastern Europe to film, getting people to work insane hours because there's no union to tell them to stop. The talent gets shipped over to a place they don't speak the language, but it ends up not mattering too much since their days are so long they never get to see anything but the inside of the hotel bar.

It's also, like, the worst way possible to reconstruct a lost memory accurately, it'd just be really good at letting people create fake ones they think are real, but it makes for a compelling scene so who cares.

If seven episodes string the audience along for the eighth and the eighth shits the bed, the audience will remember seven mediocre episodes and one terrible one, but the C-suite will remember eight episodes of high audience engagement.
