dirty words

Daniels is not dead. Archer is the most important guy in history. T'Pol would really like the Temporal Cold War to STFU.

Title: "Eclipse"
Rating: G
Category: Enterprise, Trip/T'Pol, T'Pol!fic.
Spoilers: Takes place throughout the series, but most major spoiler is for "Terra Prime."
Summary: "You can't see the Vulcan sun," he tells her.
Challenge: for wildtiger7, who wanted Trip/T'Pol. Random word generator found by google gave me "eclipse." This fic would have been better if anr had written it, though I had her in mind.

OH MY GOD.

You know how my boyfriend and I are doing the megatrekathon, right? Watching our way through Enterprise, then Classic Trek, then the deeply hilarious Animated Series, TNG, DS9, V'ger...

So, um, we've watched Enterprise. All of it. Except the very last episode. I have been fighting it because my soul has already been raped once by that episode, thankyouverymuch, and quite sufficiently I feel.

He's making me watch it. Seriously, it's sadistic. He threatened an all-out Star Trek strike if I refused. The choice between one hour of EPIC SUFFERING or no Star Trek at all until he gives up his strike? AUGHGHGHGHGHGH.

But he just FIXED IT for me!! He did! I told him about how it brutally destroys a really good TNG episode AS WELL as the entire Enterprise show, the franchise, and my general STATE OF MIND, and he's all, "Oh, that's easy. Riker wakes up post-Nemesis after some crazy dream, all 'Deanna, remember that Pegasus mission? Except it was totally different! And I was in the holodeck dreaming about, I don't know, the NX-01's last mission. Remember, where *spoilers happen*?' And Deanna's all '... That's not what happened on the last mission of the NX-01.'"

IT'S SO PERFECT. It's all a crazy Riker dream. All of it. That's why the history is wrong, why the TNG stuff makes no sense (since Riker soooo did not have time to dork off on the holodeck and Troi was totally dating Worf at the time and would not have been palling around with him all flirty-like), why Riker and Troi are so old (boyfriend chimes in "and fat!") and why IT SUCKS SO HARD.

I think I will now survive "These Are The Voyages." Wish me luck.

Trip, T'Pol and Archer do a scene from "Carbon Creek" drunk. EPIC BRILLIANCE. I can't even handle the ending, I just died of laugh.

Okay, so, I'm having a bit of an identity collapse over not being a WRITER anymore. I am failing rather totally at writing Real Things With Feeling at the moment, so pointless Enterprise episode-related ficlets it is!


Title: "Now Playing"
Rating: G
Category: Hoshi, Travis, Trip. Gen as they come.
Spoilers: "Fight or Flight"
Summary: Hoshi realizes something...

( Now Playing )

True Fact: I really like Enterprise. You can remind me of this when we're in the middle of Season 2 and I'm suffering through that stupid episode when Trip is stuck in an escape pod with that bitchy alien princess, but right now, I must say, my love is pure and troooooo. And Das Boy doesn't hate me yet for subjecting him to this, so that's a good thing.

This brought up an interesting question about Enterprise fanfic (and fanfic in general) that has plagued the generations:

[Poll #1296026]

NEW PLAN! My job searching plans have become all temporarily woeful and half of Oregon and Washington are underwater, so let's talk about Enterprise!

I have a burning question regarding Enterprise, and that is:

[Poll #1100558]

Also, to generate more thinky thoughts:

Three Enterprise Episodes I Think Are Actually The Best They Made:

1) "In A Mirror, Darkly" -- ZOMG. ZOMG! Continuity and old trek and attention to detail and Hoshi and Mayweather RULE THE UNIVERSE.
2) "Carbon Creek" -- I have such love for this episode. SUCH LOVE. It never gets old! It is heartwarming Star Trek at its best.
3) "Twilight" -- Damn. This episode is fabulous. It's even Archer/T'Pol and I love it, because it's done so completely wonderfully well and it's heartbreaking and perfect and there are time worms.

Is it odd that the best episodes they've ever done are all outside of the normal Enterprise space-time?

My Actual Favorite Episodes That I Would Choose To Bring To A Desert Island and/or Leave On My DVR For A Year Now:

1) "Bound" -- ORION WOMEN, TRIP/T'POL, UTTER LOLERY.
2) "Home" -- T'Pol's mom. Is. Awesome. And then Phlox and Hoshi bond a bit.
3) "Carbon Creek" -- ... this one makes both lists. So does Part I of the Mirror Universe one, actually.

Discuss! Ask more questions! Tell me your favorites! Explain me The Real Truth About T'Pol And Sim! Distract meeeeeee!

For the love of ALL THAT IS HOLY, peoples.

And here is your Happy Thought Of The Day:

Star Trek: Enterprise. Is anyone else re-watching it on SciFi and finding it infinitely more fun this time around? Maybe it's that the stress of the show possibly being cancelled is gone, I don't know. Maybe it's because I haven't yet gotten to the episodes where ( spoilers for seasons 2-3 ). But seriously, I'm in love, that kind of blind, nostalgic love where I lose track of reason. I even listen to the theme song all the way through sometimes. And yesterday Captain Archer gave the much lamented Gazelle Speech and I actually went "Huh, that speech isn't nearly as ridiculously out of context as I remember it being."

And "Carbon Creek" is an extra supah adorable episode that I love, and it always makes me think of a wee baby T'Pol listening to stories and fantasizing about this crazeh planet called Earth.
