Good topic! They definitely should have done more with the aftermath of the forced mind meld and with the pa'nar syndrome. Of course, I don't think they'd even thought of the pa'nar until "Stigma." The whole mind meld thing was handled weirdly from the beginning. Obviously mind melds were ...

...you see a billboard with some blinged-out rapper on it that reads, "Have a trill summer, Houston," and you ask your husband what rappers have to do with Trek. (I still don't know what that billboard means.)

Wow! You guys have been BUSY! WarpGirl, I agree with nearly everything you've written about T'Pol. The one area where we differ is T'Pol's reaction in "Unexpected." Now I know that it does not make sense for her to actually be "jealous jealous" of Ah'len considering that she's (1...

I can see the case for him having a trauma. Dinah did it so brilliantly in Thorn and the Rose . I just finished that story. Loved it! Unfortunately now I don't know where to go with my own story idea, since I had something similar in mind but Dinah already did it, and did it better than I probably ...

I get what you're saying, WarpGirl. I didn't get the feeling that you were blaming Trip 100% for their relationship problems. If you were, then we would have a pretty significant disagreement. As I see it, both Trip and T'Pol have some pretty serious personality issues that will make it difficult fo...

That is to me one of the reasons the morning after scene made no sense at all. Why did she bother to seduce him only to stab him in the heart the next morning. To me, T'Pol made perfect sense. She felt an emotional connection but she has absolutely no tools for dealing with it. First, given what we...

That is so awesome, SB! You know, the differences you mention between you and your wife probably give you a lot of insight into Trip and T'Pol: they have so many differences to learn to work around, yet where it really matters, they share the same core values. This is a great topic, WarpGirl. It got...

I agree that people who resent Trip's rapid advancement would be at the top of the list of his detractors. I think they could have used Kelby more effectively if they played up something like that during his time as chief engineer. They could have cast someone a little older in the role who really d...

Just a quick update, not for May We... Unfortunately Trip is still being completely stubborn, so much so he quit talking to me in the scene that I'm writing. Idiot! :roll: He knows I can't get him married until he plays nice but he refuses, oh well he's delaying his own happiness. This update is fo...

I love T'Pol's dress in that fake, marchale. It's beautiful!

I have to chime in and say that I love the idea of a silver wedding dress for T'Pol. That sounds beautiful! It's close enough to white that it would still look somewhat traditional. The uniform you described for Trip sounds really nice, too, SB. I can imagine Trip and T'Pol deciding that they're alr...

I love Neal Stephenson's writing, Cogito! The Baroque Cycle is perhaps my favorite current fiction. (Sorry, I know that's off-topic, but I just can't resist.)

I suspect it's a little bit of both: Vulcans require quite a bit less water than humans, their bodies use/process water more efficiently, and they have an organ or organs to store extra water for times when they can't get even the lesser amount their bodies need. The organ could be packed in behind ...

My mind immediately went to "Rogue Planet" when I saw this headline: Starless Planets May Be Habitable After All.

No problem, SB. The reason it stood out in my mind was because it seemed so mean. That scene is just begging for a missing scene to explain why Trip said what he said.
