Trip & T'Pol: The Good That They Do - Page 63

teddysmom · August 30 2008, 08:14 AM

I saw my first episode of Enterprise today during the Sci-Fi marathon. I love love love Trip and Tpol. So much so, that I found episode guides to help me piece their story together. (the marathon is not in sequence).

Please tell me Trip doesn't die at the end. I mean, it's a holograph, it's not real, right? I'm trying to find anything to make me feel better. Because if he dies, I'm canceling my order for DVD sets.

Plus, didn't they have a kid named Lorean that is captain of the Enterprise in the future. Trip doesn't die until this kid is 14.

I haven't seen the last episode, so I need someone to make me feel better and tell me the synopsis is untrue.

First of all...welcome!

These are the Voyages is an episode based on a holo-deck program in which, yes, Trip 'seems' to die. He doesn't, and it is explained in the novel The Good That Men Do.

To me (and to several of the actors

), Demons/Terra Prime is the real finale.

Enjoy TnT...we do!

Welcome!

I think that final episode can be taken as non-factual if it works for you that way, since it is largely based on a holodeck program. As Trippy mentioned, the story has continued in the novels and Trip is not dead in those.

They are called: Last Full Measure (just the end bit), The Good That Men Do, and the new one Kobayashi Maru.

I think regardless of the last episode, the show is definitely worth watching, and in my opinion T/T are very worth following along on their journey. You watched everything in such an odd order during the marathon that I think if you do rent or buy the DVDs you'll get a better idea of what went on and will hopefully continue to love T/T. A lot of us do!

Thank you so much, Trippy and Boushh. I admit, the few episodes I saw were fantastic! All the characters are great, but TnT - well, there was something special about them. I have to see the whole thing from the beginning and I plan on skipping the last episode. I read a review from someone that felt that the show really ended with terra plana (???) and that the writers only did that last episode to showcase the cast from Next Generation.

I am also buying those books. That's so much for making me feel better. I can't believe I missed this show the first time around. I was a huge next generation fan and just couldn't get into deep space 9 and I just didn't keep up.

Welcome TeddysMom Trip&T'Pol are great characters there's something special about them.That's one of the reasons I liked the series was the characters.The books definitely continue their story.

I also watched hte TnT themed episodes last night I was suprised they showed them back to back.

I need to get the ENT books. I haven't read any of them yet. Which is kind of funny, seeing how I used to be more of a fan of Star Trek books rather than the actual shows.

Of course, that was before I discovered fanfiction... *sigh*

Reanok · August 31 2008, 04:30 PM

Star I agree I like the Enterprise books and fanfiction both.You'll like the TnT storyarc in the books.

Trippy · August 31 2008, 05:02 PM

Yes, and 'we' (the TnT fans in general, not just at this board) got a thank you from Martin and Mangels in the new book!

Reanok · September 5 2008, 05:01 PM

I finished Kobayashi Maru and really liked the how Trip and T'Pol's story was continued in this book.Alot of nice moments in this book.

It sure is...

I think my favorite thing about Harbinger is the facial expressions CT and JB used. They convey so much more silently than they do with the dialogue. It's pretty cool...

Reanok · September 14 2008, 05:45 PM

I definitely agree tennisgirl.The hidden looks and feelings show the sublteness of it throughout Harbinger CT and JB are great actors.
