Do you feel lucky, punk?
He and Talas so badass

And I never knew this (amazing what one can find on MA):
"I looked at the Vulcans as if they were the British and the Andorians as if they were the Irish, and Jimmy Cagney was my ideal."

I'd say he nailed that.

Wow!!! Cagney, perfect and great pic

And to think the Andorian we all love debuted on ENT by beating the crap out of Archer.

Now don't start. That's not what made me love him. I love Archer too. And it took four seasons, but Archer got to return the favor in "United."



Speaking of the Andorian arc, I made this a while back. My valentine to Shran.

That's a great video!

^^ Thank you!

Oh, what kind of warrior people
Fills enemies with gloom
You'll run from him in fear because you know that you are doomed
The candy Shran
Oh, the candy Shran can
The candy Shran can because he fills Andor with love
And makes gristhera taste good

Who can take a phaser
And fire it with a scream
And make a giant hole where your starship used to be
The candy Shran
Oh, the candy Shran can
The candy Shran can because he fills Andor with love
And makes gristhera taste good

The candy Shran is such
That everything he'll touch
Becomes overcome with awesome
He loves to get those barbs in
"I think he likes you, pink-skin!"

Who can take an Archer
And beat him to a pulp
But now that they are buddies they'll go out and have a gulp
The candy Shran
Oh, the candy Shran can
The candy Shran can, 'cause he's Jeffrey Combs
And he always owns

Wonderfully done, HopefulRomantic! The music is lovely and very fitting.

It's funny, I was rather surprised when they hooked Shran up with Jhamel. After watching your video I cannot believe how I was able to miss the attraction between them in The Aenar.

[Skywalker]

I liked Shran with Jhamel much better than with Talas. Talas had oodles of chemistry with Malcolm in "Proving Ground." That was a missed opportunity, there.

[teacake]

I was never a fan of the Jhamel relationship, though obviously it worked out. I don't care for the pairing of the Alpha male with the quiet sweet female. Talas was interesting in her own right but didn't seem like a long term deal for Shran (IMO). Her death was quite heartbreaking though. I like Shran with Archer the best.

Thank you! We have a huge movie soundtrack collection, and I mostly gravitate toward soundtracks when I make videos.

I was really touched by the way Jhamel was introduced, how she and Shran had this immediate understanding because they were both grieving. I actually thought it was a good match -- she brought out his compassion and vulnerability without making him seem weak, and he brought out the strength she didn't know she had.

Here's a behind the scenes picture from "The Aenar" that I love:

It was indeed! They would have made an interesting couple. But no, poor Malcolm was left out again.

I saw the understanding, but I interpreted it as a sort of father-daugther thing. In my eyes Jhamel was adolescent.

I love the pink hands!

This is a fantastic photo

[TiberiusMaximus]

Whaaaat??? Why has this thread died? Does no one love Shran anymore?

[HopefulRomantic]

Eh, people get distracted by stuff.

Doesn't mean Shran isn't still awesome.

I thought this thread looked a little lonely too! Here's another show of appreciation!
