He really frustrated me on Enterprise. I respect that they were trying to portray a more positive Southerner character, but he felt kind of... bland. His romance with T'Pol felt kind of forced and many of his character moments didn't really lead to anything.

That being said, I actually really like Trinneer and his acting. He was amazing on Stargate Atlantis. He's very talented and can obviously play a character that can evolve and grow. The show's writing just lacked substance to really let him shine.

Except for that episode where he got pregnant. That was hilarious.

itawtc.

I was really disgusted with the way TPTB ended the character, but by that point I didn't expect much better from the ST:ENT production team. And I was hoping to see lots more of Trinneer after Enterprise (and SA), but sadly, if it happened, I've missed it. *schedules trip to IMDB*

@OP: It's been a while, but I want to say that the character showed a bit of that "we Southerners are supposed to be X, but I can definitely lean Y" that was probably intended to be a positive, but often didn't sit well with me. *shrugs* But when compared to the (non-Southern U.S.) Captain of the vessel, Trip was usually the much more rational character, so you really have to take the quality of his surrounding characters into consideration when you judge him.

But... "...intense loathing..." Really? What the hell have Southerners done to you personally, anyway?

He could learn things, but it was very.... plot-centric. None of those lessons carried over to other episodes and he didn't really change since the pilot (save for his forced relationship).

It was the same issue with Voyager-- only I actually found that the Voyager cast popped more and was actually likeable.

OP is weird.

Actually, I meant lean, not learn - so we're still in total agreement. :-p

I don't think I'm using a Southernism, though I did learn it in the South: to "lean Y" would be to bend a bit in your consideration of Y (Y = a position/attitude/lifestyle/whatever), but not necessarily to adopt it.

Except for that episode where he got pregnant. That was hilarious.

You see, that's the episode that made me feel the most uncomfortable.

It's cool to see someone who liked it though.

Don't get me wrong, it was awkward and uncomfortable-- but in a hilarious kind of way. The way they played up the Holo-dates was very "Disney" down to the close up shots (except with no singing). It reminded me so much of The Little Mermaid.

And then when she invited him to stick his hand into the marble bowl, I yelled at the TV "NO, YOU'RE GOING TO GET PREGNANT." I honestly did not expect him to actually get pregnant-- so it made the rest of the episode hilarious for me.

I can see where you're coming from. I understand why someone would like the episode and recognize the funny parts. I guess I just really got stuck on the rape aspect.

Wow, how did you know? That adds a whole level of, I don't know, scary hilarity to it? Are you psychic?

I have no idea, to be honest.

And yeah, I can definitely see the rape aspect now. D: That's horrible.

You're magical. Use your powers for evil! I mean good...

D: I didn't want to ruin the episode for you. I thought you knew. Most people who like the episode know but don't think it's rape or forced impregnation so... I'm so sorry. I thought we were on the same page. x_x Oh gosh.

I wasn't an Enterprise fan to begin with-- Now I can only awkwardly laugh with shame.

DDDDD: I want to make this up to you somehow. Tell me how.

There's no way to, but don't worry. I'm not holding it against you. lol

At least you approached it appropriately instead of claiming I was knowingly laughing at RAPE. That would have been awkward.

o-o I- I would never.

I know you. (Kinda)

You're really cool. You would never do that.

And there has to be something I can do. Maybe it won't make you feel better about the episode but it will make you feel better?

~~Be my nakama and join my hardy crew of pirates on a journey to find the One Piece?~~

~~Wear some green scaly shorts and fight crime with me?~~

Be my friend?

~~Yes to all of the above.~~

Of course. ;)

I was going to be like "HELP SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT TERRIBLE OVERHYPED MOVIES." But then I was like "LOLOLOL WE ALREADY DO THAT."

XD Ahaha, yes we do.

And what we do, we do together. *dramatic staring*

; u ; /dramatic friendship

*Drives off into the sunset with you*

*BURNS UP IN SUN, BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE THAT'S HOW AWESOME OUR FRIENDSHIP IS NOW*

OUR FRIENDSHIP BURNS LIKE A THOUSAND FIERY SUNS

AND DRAMATICALLY LIGHTS LUKE SKYWALKER ON TATOOINE WITH AT LEAST TWO OF THEM.

AND MAKES THE MCP EXPLODE.

"Except for that episode where he got pregnant. That was hilarious."

I liked that episode until I realised how rapey it was. Same with Bound.

Yeah, I've just heard that perspective. :( Makes the episode creepy now.
