Re: Archer as Captain

I don't understand why they didn't set Hayes up with Archer in a joint command. At least Hayes was trained to know what he was doing. And the episode 'Hatchery' is a perfect example, why you should never allow such a thing. Their straight forward thinking is their advantage and their weakness at th...

Re: Archer as Captain

Here my thoughts 1) That Archer doesn't show regret about the actions in 'Damage': Sorry, but what is this whole Archer arc in 'Home' all about? 2) I never had the feeling that Archer tries to persuade himself that his actions were the morally correct decisions to make. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I real...

Re: Archer as Captain

I know there are times when he treated them poorly ("Cogenitor!") , but I always got the impression that he would storm the gates of Hell for the people he cared about. Well, the problem - besides the Super hero aura the writers far too often tried to enforce - is that he has these strong...

Re: "Divergent Paths" Discussion

Personally I find the last chapter the best "the talk next morning" scene ever writen. Trip even offers the retreat option to her, but she reacts automatically to hold on to him. I mean, a Vulcan to react out of instinct concerning somebody else is probably the most obvious sign of affecti...

Re: What if the crew had remembered the events of "Twilight"?

Personally I don't have so much problems with "reset button" episodes, because they allow to really toy with the figures without wrecking the whole character for the rest of the series. Therefore two things: 1) We are here on a fanfiction site, where the huge majority of the writings are b...

Re: Build Trip's Family

I don't know about you guys, but in my world I always stucked with the idea to use names of the royal family of England (or out of its history): I mean Charles, Elizabeth... Therefore: Mother = Eleanor The males would be something like Edward, Henry, Richard, James, George, William or Jacob and the ...

Re: Was there ever a direct order?

meh, SB . Regardless of the illogic, T'Pol out ranks him. It's just something we gotta accept, along with tall, elvin-looking people from a super-hot and higher gravity planet, the fact there are so many humanoid speices out there, and idea that humans can (with some help) reproduce with so many of...

Was there ever a direct order?

That's a question which crossed my mind after reading Kotik's first chapter of "Enterprise Revisited": Has T'Pol ever given a direct order to Trip during the whole series? And I mean something different from "Dismissed" or "Concentrate the repairs here". For example in ...

Re: Enterprise Revisited (Discussion)

Well another good point would be if you adress this completely idiotic handling of the chain of command in the first episode: Humanities first deep space ship is on its first mission but there's no chain of command... :duh: :duh: :duh: What about the plot the following way: Trip stays adament about ...

Re: Help with a proverb

Alternatives: "Stranger things have happened." "There is nothing new under the sun." (I think that's bibical, too.) It always depends on the context, but I've thought of a suggestion, which isn't as drastic as the German proverb, but hits it quite well: "And I've seen pigs f...

Re: "Divergent Paths" Discussion

Odd that the ship is intact. The Orions were able to commandeer it and use it so no Vulcan only protocols? I can easily fathom the idea, that Vulcans are so paranoid with their technology that you can run the ship itself after cracking the normal security measures on your own, what also includes to...

Re: Get Well Soon Kotik

This one is even better.

Although the Airport report is good, too.

The very hard thing is, if you get some cliches proven right, although the bureaucarcy in Germany is already better then years earlier. Well, that might be only my impression... :dunno:

Re: Get Well Soon Kotik

I enjoy a nice metal concert, but I won't go to such a big event again. Well, I hope it wasn't something like 'Rock im Park', because concerts like this are usually so much overcrowded, that it takes away all the fun. ohh, the 'road of pain': You really want to know, how Klingon painsticks feel lik...

Re: Status and Support

I would suspect that not too many in here are German speakers, or are they. Here's a native German speaker. :thumbsup: I was always unsure of wether there is an audience... For the most part, the German readers switch to the English versions and areas, if there isn't a German section in the first p...

Re: Bumpy-headed Romulans

From a TV show production and writing standpoint, what was the point of making Romulans look different from Vulcans? (Given that they are the same species?) Was there ever a reason stated? Memory Alpha: 1) No in-universe explanation has ever been given for the difference in appearance. StarTrek.com...
