Star Trek Enterprise: Was it just me, or did it suddenly not suck as hard these past few episodes?

So yeah, I'm basically an eternal Star Trek fan, but I feel that even so, I do have the right to admit that Enterprise certainly hasn't done a whole lot for me. But then, I saw the past three episodes and I was pleasantly surprised. No more bad acting due to being genetically morphed into another species, no more accidentally buying mentally manipulative sex slaves. I could get used to this!!

Has anyone else noticed this, or the fact that T'Pol's human eyebrows are starting to show beneath her Vulcan ones?

nah, it's just you.. sorry... but i can't call the T'pol porn episode good tv.. it's just rediculous..

Enterprise needs 2 things to make it good.. in this order:

1) Q comes on board tells them all there's been a big mistake and the temperal war should never have touched this timeline so he is fixing it. He then put's that whole universe in a little black cube and sets them on a shelf next to some random nick-nack.

2) end of series.

Any reason for T'pol to get her clothes off is fine with me!

it has gotten marginally better, partially due to the fact that one episode featured the doctor fairly exclusively and he's about the only really interesting character in the entire show and partially due to the fact that it truly couldn't get much worse.

they should have a wild, dememted episode where they eat the captain's freaking dog, now that would make for some good television!

Bwahahha.. that's awesome!

seriously though.. I don't see why so many geeks are into T'Pol.. you want porn, go buy porn.. I hated 7 of 9 and I hate that lousy vulcan.

you want hot star trek women? put them in clothes.. crusher was hot, Troi was hot.. they didn't need to be naked to be hot.. and they actually had SOME acting ability and depth to their chracters.

as far as the best actor/chracter on enterprise.. that's easy Jeffrey Combs (aka shran). every episode he is in, jsut his very presence makes the other actors act better.. that guy rules.

Yes, the oiling-up scenes in decon to soft Bow-chicka-bow-bow music are certainly unnecessary. And I think the Adventures of Jeremy thread does a better job at time travel.

I rcently caught most of the episode with the doctor (waiting for Angel to come on) and I have to admit, as much as I usually think that show sucks ass, that was a pretty good episode. Granted I only about 1/2 to 3/4 of it sporatically, I thought the ending was a good surprise, something hard to find on that show. That and when the doctor said, "I should've never let Trip convince me to watch 'The Exorcist'". Good tie into modern times.

I think the show is getting better but I spotted the end of this show from a mile away. First, I was disappointed that it was a remake of a Voyager episode where 7 of 9 does the same thing the doctor did. Second, the minute T'pol showed up it was evident she was the doctors imagination.

Gene Roddenberry has always had sexy but sexless women in his shows. It started with his wife playing in Menagerie with Captain Pike. Then she played the nurse in Star Trek and her character changed. In Voyager it started out being the captain, then it changed to 7 of 9. In DSN, it was the tall dark hair one. In Enterprise it's obviously T'Pol but I don't think she is sticking with Roddenberry's formula. I think she over does it. I think they need to stop the strip scenes and let her sexuality speak for itself.
