I think we ALL saw that coming. I mean this B&B we're talking about. They could not possibly resist it.

It's the MALE Vulcan mating urge.

So, Enterprise has killed and rejuvenated at least one person, solved the temporal war, befriended the Klingons to a certain extent, already encountered the Ferengi (which in TNG are "reclusive" at first meeting), and now they are going to do this Ponfarr-out thing with T'Pol and then I suppose Archer will whoop some Romulan ass by the end of the season, too?

And you wonder why sci-fi gets a bad rep.

Wait, I get it!

T'Pol's a trannie!

Yeah, they should just have Archer and T'Pau... T'pol duke it out and nearly kill each other without pity, like Kirk and Spock. Or was that Belanna and Kim? No, the OTHER male Ponfarr-suffering Vulcan. OWTF, aren't they all the SAME? At least the Kirk/Spock one was original. Since the uh, TOS was... uh, the original.

Fuck, I don't care anymore. I stopped watching trek after TNG and only watched DS9 to see lots of ships get blown up, and episodes where Garak was involved. Before we know it Enterprise will have the whole AQ mapped out and it'll be a fucking continuation of Voyager. I'm convinced that B&B write episodes by drawing words out of a hat, hell doing that will probably result in better plots than what they give us.

Evil Jerk · Post by **Evil Jerk** » 2002-10-11 03:16pm

This is nothing new, back in the first season they already snapped continuity's neck regarding Pon farr by openly talking about it, even though it's a big secret in TOS, so much so that Spock hijacks the frickin ship rather than tell anyone.
Even in Voyager, B&B's own bastard creation, Tuvok was equally secretive to the point of being irrational.
Anyway, back then it seems a lot of people suspected that they were getting ready for T'Pol to have the Pon farr even though only males get it (which is stated.. hmm.. EVERYWHERE), and it seems everybody was right.

The only reason to watch Enterprise anymore is to see what B&B will fuck up next, it's almost a morbid fascination.

Well since only Vulcan males can get Pon farr what does that tell us about T'Pol.

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww.....

A male Vulcan disguised a female, how discusting.

I believe you're referring to T'Paul?

You remember correctly. What does it say about B&B that AKIRA can remember correctly, but that they cannot?

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2002-10-11 05:09pm

That B&B are only using ratings guides and Lobotimized Chimpanzi's for their writting staff for quite some time now.

Australopithicus · Post by **Australopithicus** » 2002-10-11 06:02pm

And let's say that the Vulcan males' first mating urge comes when he's 19 (Taken as an estimate from Spock's Pon Farr at 33, but it could be from 12 years of age...what a scary thought...), and it is stated that T'Pol is 65. If 33 is an age for Pon Farr, then the nearest you can get to 65 every 7 years is either at 68 or 61.

Seems that B&B can't count either...

I've only seen about 20 minutes of Enterprise.

And reading this has convinced me that that's enough.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2002-10-11 06:12pm

Well they have proven they have no understanding of:

Astronomy: (Making Alpha Centaria a Singular System: Voyager)
Physics (Too many to count)
Chemistry: (More energetic reactions from Inert chemicals anyone?)
Nutrition (Protien in Potatoes, Enterprise)

Why shouldn't basic math be beyond them as well?
