Trip has so many great moments!
The episode when he is obsessed with pimping out the Captain Chair is one of my favorites.

Q: Look at me when I’m eating off you Picard.
But to your point, are there any fandoms (besides the church) that are still going strong with commemorative plates? Maybe they are just old fashioned.

What’s this, what’s this? There’s Trek alum everywhere!

Ooh, is there a hot take here?
I havent heard much about it, sorry if I’m retreading a tired topic.

To me at least, it is 3 difference concepts taking turns driving a single program. S1-2 feel like the TNG formula, but with the twist of a primitive crew and ship. S3 feels like a mutiny of star trek itself. S4 feels like they sort of forgot they were supposed to backfill the canon.
That being said, I’ve walked away with it among my favorite treks. I personally rank Degra right up there with Dukat and Kai Wynn as some of the most distinct and well-developed trek villains.

S4 when he fights Shran with such confidence and gamesmanship, that’s my favorite Archer.

Ya they smeared the 9/11 on real thick. Blew my mind to learn they were ahead of the curve on the torture:
The episode debuted nearly two years before Americans ever heard the words “enhanced interrogation.”

Oh man, you just made me relive the night my dad took me to see The Undiscovered Country opening night at the Chinese. Thanks for sharing and good luck.
- Comment on Watching Enterprise for the very first time 1 week ago:
Ya you make good points, but when I think like that I begin to strongly dislike alot of it.
My personal beef was always how the federation looks the other way at all the vassals and clients of the Klingon Empire. Just ignore their hordes of space helots I guess.
Ironically it is only in Enterprise where I finally see someone disgusted by it, but they technically aren’t the federation yet.
For those particular episodes you mentioned the cogenitor one was the one I really disliked. Some of the worst moralizing ever: think of the perils of unrestrained suffrage before you enlighten a slave!

What’s the unit conversion between esper rating and midichlorian count?
- Comment on Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award 1 week ago:
First time I saw him outside Star Trek was in a Scarlett O’Hara TV miniseries.
Imagine my surprise when he’s driving her around in a horse and buggy: an olde time transporter chief!
- Comment on I wasn't ready for a 28 episode sustained descent into darkness 1 week ago:
I felt like in S4 they really hit a balance between episodic and serialized star trek. The arcs are 2-3 episodes and tightly focused. The standalone episodes seemed like a way to walk back from the whole season arc in S3.
Watching it now, S3 feels ahead of its time. I want to believe there is enough content to edit it down to a Netflix style 10 episode season of all the best parts.
Also augment trilogy deserves praise for shooting Archer out of a hatch into deep space and transporting him mid-trajectory and half-dead from exposure. He’s seen some shit.

I hear ya, not every trek is everyone’s cup of tea. Any particular reasons jump out to you what was so boring?

His imdb page is suprisingly prolific m.imdb.com/name/nm0000538/ 151 roles since 1973 is a pretty damn good run.

Getting from there to here 👌
For the first two seasons I would listen to right up I til the title card disappeared, just long enough for the first two verses and that sweet whiff of a strings section.
- Comment on Watching Enterprise for the very first time 1 week ago:
Yes! They are so fallible, and believably so most the time, that I really appreciated their missteps.
The only time I didn’t appreciate thinking was when it decontamination time. I just pretend it is like watching an old b/w show with an embedded detergent ad: an unfortunate relic of its time that is just baked into it.
