i just recently finished watching Enterprise for the first time and while it's not the worst thing i've ever seen or anything and i did enjoy it, i felt relieved when it was over. there were just so many things to not like and be critical of and it's just like some kind of vicious circle where i feel like im watching it more cynically and less able to actually engage with it as it goes on because of the things that happen in it and the decisions they made. i was like "now that it's over at least it can't fuck anything else up." my main issue I think comes down to Archer himself being a terrible captain. when I watch Star Trek I don't think I should constantly be daydreaming about how I would be doing things differently if I were the captain because I find the one on the show constantly incompetent and unrealistic. it's something I did not enjoy. the captain of a Trek show should be like the guiding star that sets the tone and the tone Archer sets is just, amateur who gets lucky because he can't die because he's the main character like a fucking cartoon show or something. he should have been killed by aliens so many times over and you just get tired of it. his captaining aside, he's not even interesting to me as a person either. it's all around just weak desu

>You taught a SLAVE to READ? I just spent the last three days sucking their captain's dick on a cozy 2 person shuttlecraft while he quoted Shakespeare. SHAKESPEARE, Trip. What the FUCK were you thinking?

This episode is so fucked lmao. By Archer's logic he should have left those Suliban in the concentration camp then.
