Marriage

Standards of beauty are completely subjective. And it could also have the opposite effect on both sides.

And since no one in TOS has ever heard of Denobula that's why Kirk and Company don't know about the kids.

I've long thought of this as a mystery that needs to be solved in fanfic. What happened to Denobula?

I started writing a story that would explain this years ago, but when you disappear an entire species, your story just isn't going to have a happy ending.

Especially when they were a VERY prosperous spieces I don't like to think of what might have happened. Way too depressing.

Stop throwing plot bunnies at me.

Srsly. I have enough on my plate right now.

And the Andorians only had a minor role in TOS as well and the Vulcan fleet seems to have disappeared. Personally, I think some bad things happened during the Romulan War.

It may be that Denobulans just aren't that interested in exploration and adventure so they weren't well represented within Starfleet. I got the impression that Phlox was one of the more adventurous Denobulans, and even he only ended up on Enterprise because he was on the Vulcan medical exchange program and then got co-opted to look after Klaang.

On the other hand, it may be that after the events in No More, No Less the Denobulans didn't want anything more to do with Ambassador Archer, and didn't pick up the phone when he rang to invite them to join his new federation.

I read that story.
Well, I think it is uncorrect to assume that our Silverbullet has a little too disliking for Archer (as it was not infrequently said).
Apparently, some people dislike Archer much more than him (Or at least so it seems).

[Cogito]

Yes, it's pretty hard on Archer, to be sure.

I like stories where Archer is a good guy, but I never particularly warmed to his character on the show so I don't have any great difficulty reading the occasional stories that show him in a less flattering light.

Its actually a bit too hard, IMO. I've never been Archer's number one fan, but fics like this - I call them Bash fics, and ENT isn't the only fandom that does them - generally don't sit well with me because they just feel ... wrong.

JMHO

Actually, I can go both ways with Archer if the author who is pro-Archer acknowledges that the man has issues. Which brings me to the incomparable Dinah not only does she marry our lovers in a pitch perfect way, but the way she deals with Archer is extremely well balanced. I can even admit that there are other authors who make me almost like the guy.
