Star Trek Enterprise "In a Mirror, Darkly Pt. 2"

[star-trek-likes-vs-dislikes]

If it's not too much trouble, could I request a list of the top 10 Enterprise characters? The top 10 list is very DS9/TOS/TNG heavy, and I wanna see my folks.

Tumblr's top 10 most strongly liked Star Trek Enterprise characters

10. Commander T'Pol (Mirror)

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 24.4%

9. Doctor Phlox

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 24.8%

8. Lieutenant Hoshi Sato (Mirror)

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 26.4%

7. Ensign Travis Mayweather

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 31.7%

6. Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 38.2%

5. Ensign Hoshi Sato

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 40.7%

4. T'Pol

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 46.1%

3. Commander Thy'lek Shran

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 48.9%

2. Tribble

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 65.7%

1. Porthos

With a "Strongly Like" percentage of 71.2%

_______

These are based on only the "Strongly Like" percentage. Summing the Strongly Like and Like columns of my spreadsheet naturally gives different results. It is likely that these results will change, but I will keep the post up to date.

They really went hard for the mirror episodes in enterprise. They even changed the opening to something far more appropriate. Although i do admit,it would have been fun to hear upbeat faith of the heart after that "first contact" scene.

Sarek's whole deal never stops being so damn funny. Man's so down bad for a human woman that he defies all of Vulcan culture and marries her. And not in a T'Pol way where they spent most of it in the company of humans. He brought Amanda to Vulcan and, in personal matters, chose to go against everything he was taught to embrace something as irrational as love (though by god that man will do his damnedest to convince you it was logical).

Then to top it all off, that man did not extend that same ideology to his work (No patience nor open-mindedness for very different cultures, rigid adherence to Vulcan practices of diplomacy). And he applies it very haphazardly to his own children. Sometimes, they are a testament to the love he feels for his wife. The humanity he admires. Other times, they are a failure of his own culture. A disgrace and disappointment to Vulcan.

They are the mirrors of his greatest love and his own shame. He loves Amanda and he feels no shame in adoring her, but he feels quiet shame in loving her as un-Vulcan as it is. He is the shame, but the love of her? Never could be.

The helpless romantic he is, he could never resist. He'd never admit it, but he couldn't. So he'd keep any and all shame for himself. None for her.

What a messy beautiful little dork who fucking loves his wife and is so emotionally constipated otherwise.

Amanda Grayson is the one thing in the universe he loves too hard to act that way.

What a goofy lil guy

Okay, but this episode is kinda about how AUs can be fascinating and intersting.

With multiverse craze you can see when the people make mutliverse story out of love and when they do it just because it seems the big fad now. For example, I find Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths the multiverse story made out of love, because there is a lot of love for DC TV and movies in this crossover, but what I've heard from people who watched The Flash with Ezra Miller, the cameos from various versions of Superman and Supergirl felt forced at best and disrespectful the worst.

But why do we like reading and watching AUs? The AU operates on at least rudimentary knowledge of the characters and setting the alternative reality of we see. We have to understand, on some level, who these people are and how they operate, and the Alternative Reality has factors that influence them and that's why they may be different. That's the most interesting thing about AUs: how characters XYZ would be like in reality that such and such happened or if they were put in setting such as steampunk, high school, coffe shop etc."

In William Boimler's crew we can observe it. We can see Curzon Dax who never mentored Jadzia and never gave symbiote to her, and now being very reckless; Elim Garak who chose to become a doctor and not a spy and found love with EMH!Bahir who was made, probably because OG!Bashir's genetic enhancements were never discovered by Lewis Zimmerman; we get T'Pol who got to have a happy marriage with Trip Tucker because he didn't die in the ENT finale, and we got whole bunch of Harrys Kims, one of them actually promoted. They're technically similar to their counterparts in main timeline, but there are also changes in their attitude made by their life choices.

And the talk with Lily Sloane also highlights certain problem that arises with how Star Trek deals with multiverse, in my opinion. Mainly, that up to this point Star Trek seemed to explore mostly the dark or tragic timelines (Mirrorverse, of course, but also Yesterday's Enterprise or that bad future in S2 of Star Trek: Picard), but not the ones where humanity was in better shape. That's why Lily Sloane talks about how mulitidimensial travels made her understand herself and humanity better: she didn't see dark timelines of humanity but our great potential. Moreover, she even pointed out that there are relationships that transcend time and space, and we saw it with Boimler and Mariner but also with OG!Chakotay and Mirror!Janaway in Prodigy, or OG!Spock with Kelvin!Kirk.

Really, Fissure Quest is great in that regard. It reminds us why AUs can be great as a plot device and character study.

Help! I'm currently languishing as a pinch hit in Space Swap and would love it if someone wanted to write some PILOTS! (Kara/Lee), robot!SG1 (Sam/Jack), Dinbo (Din/Bo-Katan), or Star Trek (AOS McCoy/Chapel), and take me off THE LIST. Details here!

I'm also a pinch hit for PILOTS! (Kara/Lee), Dinbo (Din/Bo-Katan), or Star Trek (AOS McCoy/Chapel or mirror!verse Trip/T'Pol) at the Hurt/Comfort exchange. Details for that exchange here!

Please. 🙏🫶

(Note to self: next exchange -- new pairings.)
