I was giving Enterprise another chance, and even Archer was starting to grow on me in season 2. Then season 3 happened and he became a war criminal.

And yet... still better than Voyager.

@Anomnomnomaly @LoganFive @startrek@startrek.website @startrek@lemmy.ml @StarTrek@mastodon.social Sir
I mean voyager went downhill after certain crew member joined the ship; but still
You can see how that seems sexist, right?
Especially when 7 and The Doctor are debatably tied, for most interesting character on the show.
I’m with you, I hated neelix too, but he was there from the beginning.
You mean Barclay I assume?
Enterprises season three is like the next generation season 1 it’s okay to skip
I just rewatched TNG season 1, and I found it much more fun than I remembered! (Excluding Code of Honor ofc.) Super goofy, super Wesley-heavy. But fun!
I’m actually making my way thru TNG for the first time, and i gotta say that i found it kinda surprising how horny the first season was. But then i remember it came out in like '87 and it makes more sense.
Oh look, it’s what ruined Şişko for me.
He can live with that.
that’s what makes it so bad.
Faulty memory from way back in the first run here, but… Archer suddenly drove some ratings with the sexy hard captain act. Writers may have taken it a little too far in Season 3.

I’m not sure what the problem is.
Does it make Archer a bad character, or Enterprise a bad show, when he breaks bad for understandable reasons?

I think the character decisions were motivated, intentionally difficult to wrestle with and especially relevant for the time it was made. I think what makes the show unforgivable for it however, is the complete lack of consequences for those transgressions.

You’re still judgeing the quality of the story by your morality.
It’s common for terrible acts to go unpunished. There are lots of movies and shows where the bad guy wins. Many where you can’t even tell who the bad guy is. But they’re still good stories.
