So what was Archer supposed to do? Shrug and let several billion people die because the Illyrian captain said no? That was the entire point of the episode - he had to make a decision that he loathed making because humanity was relying on the Enterprise to save them (since evidently Starfleet was too stupid to have an actual fleet or even put something resembling planetary defenses in place.) Yeah, it sucks for these ordinary folks, but no one ever said life was fair.
Again, I'm not sure what the issue is. This decision was intended to suck. *shrug*
Chalk it up to my being a stubborn wench and give your mind a break, I'm sorry I'll never see it any other way. Like I said, I'm happy being alone.
Okay I'm lost where can I see Distracted's triumph.
