Just started it for the first time in 2025, wtf is this abomination or an intro ? 🤣🤣🤣

Trip did nothing wrong!! I don't care about respecting a culture when it means gender segregated slavery. Imagine a binary sexed planet where the women aren't allowed an education, to read, to do most entertainment activities. And are kept for the sole purpose of breeding (kinda sounds like ferenginar)

Like come on. The treatment of the cogenitors was hugely unethical, why wouldn't starfleet, the apparently "above bigotry" guys care about this? It's honestly a poorly written episode and I don't think it lines up with the true feelings or captain archer. I think he would've fought to help this person and give them asylum, not telling trip that's he's responsible for their suicide?? That's honestly too far imo.

I also think this episode had some irl bias over a lack of empathy towards trans and non-binary people. IRL we are seen as lesser, or confusing, and not worth the rights of a binary male or female.

I remember the episode in TNG about the androgynous being wanting to transition to female, and then being forced into conversion therapy. I think that was much better as showing some of the difficulties of other alien cultures and defying gender norms while reflecting on similar human issues.

But yeah. I don't think trip overstepping was a bad or wrong thing to do, in the name of equal rights and educating oppressed people. I hate how the crew reacted to it, and how their first contact was prioritised over a request for asylum (I honestly think if they had requested it earlier in the episode it could've been far more interesting in terms of negotiations and politics, maybe making a stand that these cogenitors deserve equal independent lives)

In Discovery everyone said that Burnham was the first muntineer in Starfleet. Ok, what about T'Pol, Trip and the others? Do you think this was left out of the official log? Why would this not be recorded as the true first Starfleet mutiny?

So first captain of the first warp 5 ship

Defeated extra dimension beings and future time travelers

Saved the timeline and earth and the galaxy

Founded the federation

Promoted to chief of staff of Starfleet

Ambassador to andorian

Federation president

Has 2 planets named after him

The most famous explorer of the 22nd century

Lives to be like 133 years old.

Like compare to othe main series trek captains...they don't really hold a candle to archer?

Pike Kirk Picard janeway sisko freeman Burnham etc.

What do you think ?

Remember when Enterprise has to board that friendly ship in The Expanse and steal their warp coil? Knowing it would condemn them to a 3 yr journey home?

Did they ever go back afterwards and help them? If not, why not?!

You know how in these are the voyages riker was playing different characters on the holonovel of nx-01. He was a random crewman, the chef, maco, in objective mode. During the fire fight of rigel 9 riker had better aim than everyone from the nx-01 he was hitting the bad guys that reed and every one else was missing.

Riker makes one bad ass maco

What do you guys think?

This is my first watch through ENT and this episode was an absolute gem for me!!! The whole human male (Trip) pregnancy was a hoot and made for some hilarious dialogue:

“3 days…you couldn’t contain yourself for 3 days?!!”

“The first thing diplomats should learn is to not put their fingers where they don’t belong.” 🤣

But then adding Klingons to the story was brilliant! My wife isn’t a Trek kind of girl, but I think this episode may have hooked her on the show. 😂

If the nx-01 were in the 2380s and was fired upon by a sovereign class starship could it survive a quantum torpedo?

Or a phaser hit from a galaxy class starship?

What do you think?

Is this TPol? If so is these are you voyages retconned? Or is it more along the lines of the novels? Help I'm stoned and confused

i mean think about it (in universe)

archer fought in the temporal wars how badass is that. none of the other captains fought in the temporal wars.

trip - he space jumped between two starships while at warp. none of hte other engineers ever did that.

t'pol - she got hooked on space metals and found the long lost surak manuscripts that changed vulcan society

reed - he basically created red alert

hoshi - she knows more languages than everyone else even uhura

phlox - he could actually resist borg assimilation and created a cure for borg assimilation

Mayweather - he can do an L4 maneuver with a starship no one else could pull off a L4, only one that comes close is snw ortegas

what do you think?

Big CGI Frown

Travis never really got much character development but one aspect was that he was an avid climber. Which makes it pretty funny that on three separate occasions when he was climbing he got injured. Couldn’t they at least make him good at one other thing than piloting?

Watching those 2 episodes from season 1 and 4 recently, I felt that both Phlox and Archer were hypocrites! When they could provide a cure to a "lesser" civ, they went all prime directive on them (even tho they didn't have one! Which makes it worse...). But when they appeared on the other side, as a lesser species, they were outraged that the aliens would let them die of the virus. :p

At least Archer went "against his better judgement" in Dear doctor, Phox is way worse actually...

Anyone else noticed this?

It just felt wrong on so many levels having her in that role. It was disgusting and slimy and just plain wrong to me. I can’t explain it.
