I watch TV while eating, because TV takes my mind off the textures of the food and helps me dissociate from eating. I also have a very active imagination and ability to immerse myself in a show
Enterprise seems to have characters beaten bloody, covered in soot, drenched in sweat or slime, or poisoned by trellium-D every other episode. It’s very hard to watch Enterprise compared to the rest of Star Trek
Heh. While I get it that some people are more squeamish, I never had a problem with showing stuff like that in ST. I found the extreme sanitisation of older Treks (and other shows/media of those eras) in this regard pretty annoying.
In fact, I still want that Tarantino Trek movie.
The sanitation is part of the charm, IMO.
Then don’t watch it?
Yeah, but quite often you get to see them wash it all off.
Gross TV shows are one issue but what’s this about wanting to disassociate from eating food?

From the title I completely expected this to be about how often they have T’Pol half (or fully) naked.

My issue with ENT is the treatment of female characters. It’s not just T’Pol, but she definitely comes off worse. It’s all pretty cringy watching it with 2023 eyes. That crap with the Doctor guilting T’Pol into sexy time Vulcan therapy with Trip, for example. Urgh. Very much of the “FHM” era. That, and most (all?) the characters are unlikable. I’ve tried many times to watch it since the time but struggling with more that 1 or 2 episodes.
