i'm just going to go ahead and make this its own post. when kirk teases spock he is SO GENTLE. "why mister spock are you feeling emotion?" and he lets spock do the vulcan equivalent of giggling and kicking his feet and going "haha nooo silly i'm a VULCAN i don't do that!!" and kirk's like "oh my apologies mister spock of COURSE not" and then they make consensual loving eyecontact with one another while smiling. when BONES senses blood in the water (spock having an emotion) he will grab spock by the scruff of his fucking neck and shake until dead. like a dog with a squirrel.

I'm convinced Trip/T'Pol were handled badly by the writers (sometimes) because... their relationship IS easy. Easy isn't dramatic, it isn't filled with conflict and tension and those Intense things that make for a Big Scene.

Which... I think it's good to have easy relationships on screen sometimes. Archer and T'Pol becoming a solid command unit by season 3? Great. It's GREAT to see them work together in The Forge like partners in sync, both wanting the same thing (find the bombers, find T'Pol's mom and check on her, figure out who the suspect even really should be), both cooperatively planning (agreed on a plan, and when in disagreement they quickly hear the other out - phrased in a way the other will consider cooperative - and then decide what they're doing), both already in the habit of functioning smoothly as a team unit. I think EASY relationships in a star trek show... means writing can spend more time doing interesting things with the episode-of-the-week plot and make the relationships interesting in terms of HOW well they problem solve even when in such Extreme episode-of-the-week situations!

It's why Hoshi and Archer are fun to watch in the Xindi finale episodes - they are already past Hoshi having doubts about being on a mission (from season 1) and Hoshi already knows how valued she is and that she's capable of it (ongoing Archer-Hoshi struggles through the whole show), so it's simply interesting watching Hoshi fight so hard to help Earth, emotionally break down and Archer hug her and tell her the priorities (and them be on the SAME page after we've seen instances before where they weren't). The best episodes with T'Pol and Trip interacting, as of late season 3 onward, have been where they DON'T have much personal conflict (compared to season 1 and them both having hackles up and intentionally refusing olive branches from each other), and they're working like a well oiled machine that can rely on all of it's parts. I liked the early conflicts, don't get me wrong, I loved Hoshi struggling to decide if she's up for the dangers of their missions and her feelings of isolation versus trying to connect to people but not feeling heard. I loved Trip learning to be more open to other values, I loved T'Pol learning to adjust to the whole Enterprise crew and recognize Archer's values over time and how for all the Difference in behavior between humans and her, her values DO align with Archer's and that ultimately makes leading the Enterprise easier for her. It's why over time her assuming of command gets easier, when Archer's gone by Damage, and why the crew grows more and more okay with trusting her decisions as the BEST even if she says leave Archer or wait for Archer, run from a fight or proceed even if it's likely to kill them.

By end of season 3, the Enteprise crew TRUSTS T'Pol. Trusts that her values align with Archer's, align with the crews, and that regardless of her emotional demeanor (or lack of), or if she picks choices they find to be wrong, they trust SHE has good reason to pick those decisions and simply follow her. It's why in all the season 3 final episodes we get great scenes of her commanding Enterprise through the whole fucking ordeal, and in the opening multi-part of season 4. It's why Hatchery works so well - yes, Trip trusts her judgement immediately, which is huge because in season 1 he would've SEVERELY questioned a vulcan's intentions if one said 'mutiny your captain and subdue him' whereas now he's in agreement she's right and just already at the point of 'what's the best way for us the crew to handle the problem'. But also the WHOLE Enterprise trusts T'Pol, when she determines they need to subdue and stop Archer. Malcom, Travis, Hoshi, any side crew they loop in. Even the MACOs, who have less experience on the crew and less ability to judge what's truly best to do, the MACO commander tells Malcom after the fact that he totally understands why it had to be done (even though he would've fought at the time, and not realized in the moment).

I LOVE seeing the Enterprise crew grow to know T'Pol, and see her prove her values as a just person who will pick helping people over what's easy every time (which is WHY Archer eventually starts to accept when she says 'we can't help X in this case') and why the crew trusts her if she says they need to risk dying (they believe she determined it's the only option left to save MORE people) or if she says they need to flee (they believe T'Pol determined it's the only option to possibly successfully help people in the long run). We needed the conflict of early seasons, for this smooth trusting cohesion to be as satisfying as it is now.

And like, now that it's been earned? the smooth reliable trusting relationships on the show ARE fun to watch! Especially fun, to see in action episode-of-the-week plot episodes, where the drama is in seeing if our Amazing Crew can handle it and seeing how they SHINE at handling it.

And perhaps that's why season 4 feels the most like TNG or TOS to me, both shows didn't spend much time on character development - TOS just could only do a little an episode and TNG often ignored development in later episodes - and so the crew was mostly introduced as Already Trusting Each Other and unified and that satisfying solving of problems together made up most episodes. Compare to DS9 where the crew is phenomenal at problem solving together, but certainly has initial frictions and conflicts they improve over time, making for Even More Trust in later episodes, so that relationships like Kira and Sisko feel even MORE satisfying in later seasons with that close trust built up compared to in season 1. Enterprise wrote it's characters like DS9 - more initial friction and conflict, even though the team was already good to begin with, and more satisfying development into a close knit trusting team later, and character development carried fairly consistently through episodes.

I think Enterprise Season 4 is working so well for me because it's like the DS9 character development payoff: these characters already worked well together, but now they're even closer and better at team work and trust. And so the episodes can both get the payoff of that character development, AND have the satisfying excellent-team problem-solves external issues that TNG and TOS did for many episode plots.

But getting back to my point, that got away from me lol... I think the writers of Enterprise occasionally make their own mess for themselves. By writing against what is maybe the more natural route, for the sake of introducing drama. Maybe they hope to create more interesting episodes by creating drama. And they don't do it too often, so it's not a huge issue. But it does tend to weaken elements that the show normally does WELL, when it happens.

Like: The Forge. Why does it work WELL? The problems are external, long standing hostile faction in the Vulcan High Council ultimately making violent political moves. The internal team unit? Shining, showing exactly HOW good they are at their jobs, how strong their values are, and how well they work TOGETHER.

Trip is doing great as temporary captain, trying to make decisions T'Pol and Archer would, and very in-sync with their already established plan. Trip is working with Soval phenomenally well, showing all the growth he's made in dealing with vulcans and T'Pol and T'Pol's mom (he's managing to be more sensitive to Soval's values and behavior than Archer is, more convincing of Soval than Archer or T'Pol is... probably because Trip's spent more time trying to convince vulcans and make them feel comfortable and like they can trust - thanks to his friendship to T'Pol and her family), he's showing much less impulsivity than in past episodes (showing he's learned from Archer and T'Pol to focus on what will succeed, what will have the most long term help to people, what BIG planet-universe wide problems are possibly more important than yes even his Captain). T'Pol is doing great at communicating what she finds rational versus not, at prioritizing the success of the mission over worrying about what consequences vulcan will do to her for questioning them. Archer is doing great at accepting information from T'Pol, being open to both her concerns and these other vulcans and giving them fair consideration instead of making any judgements, trusting his Enterprise crew team to handle the situation while he's totally out of contact with them. The crew in general, is doing admirable at trusting their core leaders through this, even though it's putting them in vulcan line of fire LITERALLY and if it's not handled perfectly could lead to a vulcan/human war, or andorian/human/vulcan war.

Everyone on Enterprise is showing off what a wonderful team they are, how much they trust each other, and living up to that trust by prioritizing their goal of helping as many people/causing as little long term harm as possible, in The Forge. They get to show off how FAR the crew has come, and grown, and now embodies the Ideals Starfleet will eventually be known for in the Star Trek universe.

They don't need to add manufactured internal crew conflict now (unless organically something happens like a new crewperson joining or say T'Pol divorcing Koss and talking about it privately, or Archer over-worries about risk of conflict and his command team needs to contradict him). I have been loving season 4 so far for not needing to add unnatural drama. Season 3, toward the end, also did amazing. I think the issue was most noticeable in early-mid season 3. Where it just felt a few Higher-Stakes interpersonal conflicts were created maybe to create a more dramatic plot, but felt out of place. As mentioned, season 1 core conflict issues were good and while they developed naturally into more conflicts and resolutions, it all worked well.

Bradley Bradshaw has enough to worry about in his role as the Chief of Security on the USS Enterprise without adding time travel into the mix, but life in Starfleet is rarely straight forward.

Somehow he finds himself in 2024 with no way home and no idea how to save his universe. It doesn't help that Captain Jake Seresin somehow stuck around for the ride.

[communistkenobi]

kirk’s biggest asset as a captain is that he always goes with the flow no matter what. if he accidentally warps into an evil dimension where everything sucks he’s like well the only way to solve this is to be an evil captain who sucks. mr sulu prime the death torpedos and fire on the innocent civilians while I retire to my quarters. if he gets challenged to wrestle his best friend to death in the middle of a vulcan fuck ceremony he has no problem doing that. in one episode they went back in time to the great depression and kirk immediately stole a bunch of clothes from a balcony and got a job sweeping basements. guy who has terminal commit to the bit syndrome
