"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Post by Stravo »

Okay, anyone that has heard or seen the latest Enterprise commercial will recognize this as the tagline T'pol uses when she is about to rape someone when suffering from Pon'Far.

Putting aside the sheer stupidity of the plot device (Come on, can't Vulcans FUCKING COUNT and know when they're in danger of going into Pon'Far???)

Let's examine another horrible mutilation of Trek canon. It is clearly established that MALES suffer from Pon Far, mentioned in the FUCKING EPISODE THAT ESTABLISHED PON FAR. Reiterated several times including the movies (ST:III) B&B have raped continuity as I'm sure T'Pol will do to some fortunate Boobyprise crew member. :evil:

Not to mention T'Pol openly talks about Pon'Far. Spock was SO uncomfortable and embarrased with Pon'Far he HIJACKED THE ENTERPRISE.

And so Star Trek continuity crumbles... :evil:

If Enterprise is non canon, then Voyager better not be canon either! Not after what they did to the Borg. :kill: *Voyager*

Yeah, Trek is going further downhill than any of us would have ever thought possible.

I think they should really go for broke and have T'Pol be interested in Hoshi.
Id tune in for that, even if it is an obvious pander to male hormones.

IIRC didn't they say that only male vulcans can get the Pon'Far in an earlier episope of Enterprise?

Hopefully they didn't try to fix it with out having to write a unique script(unlike the Find: Tuvok/Spock/Etc. Change to:T'Pol) by just giving T'Pol a weiner.(Children, the word of the day is: Hermaphrodite!)

Yeah well T'Pol considers it as such in the episode (she even says "we don't discuss it with others"), what episode was it where she was talking about Pon Far before (I remember it happening but not the episode), I suspect that episode was written by B&B but would like to confirm it.

Couldn't T'Pol be a male Vulcan who went through a gender-change operation, and something went wrong??

I'm telling you, the only way to redeem Enterprise is to put it on the Spice Channel and eliminate the entire crew except for T'Pol and Hoshi

You know though when a bunch of Vulcans hang out together their Pon Far tends to happen at about the same time.

How did BOBW "ruin" the borg??? they were unstoppable, they tore through a starfleet armada like tissue paper and they were barely stopped before they assimilated earth.
