Who is captain Archer's perfect mate? (Porthos not included)
Don't get me wrong, I thought Riann and "Jonathan"I voted for Riann. I thought their relationship was charming, right down to the costumes. And she was highly intelligent and advanced in her thinking despite living in the rough equivalent of our planet's 17th century. It always struck me that Archer was really taken with her.
And she handled Archer's background really well.![]()
Well she is one of the poll options, so I figured obstacles to "happily ever after" should be disregarded. I just thought there was more chemistry between Archer and Riann.Don't get me wrong, I thought Riann and "Jonathan"I voted for Riann.

were great together. I loved the look of "Civilization," very romantic. But for the two of them to form a lasting relationship, she would have to leave her world behind, or he would. I don't see either of them doing that, or asking the other to do it.
No Shran option?
Actually, the majority of Erika's character development happens in David Mack's "Destiny" trilogy.Archer had a booty call with Erika -- that's canon.
You know, I like Riann. I think she's an interesting character who had character development. Erika had no character development, except to provide said booty call. Boo! She seems like she could be very interesting. I haven't read Kobayshi Maru. I'm tempted to, but didn't like the previous two books by Mangels.
This. I completely agree. I don't see Home as a booty call - now everything's okay event. I see it as Erika affirming that Archer is still a worthwhile human being, even after all he'd done in the Expanse. He is so disgusted with himself, and disgusted with the idea that people actually think he's a hero, naming schools after him. He's wracked with guilt that he lost almost a quarter of his crew. He's been raked over the coals by Soval, and accused of murdering a ship full of Vulcans. He can't even stand himself. Erika is there to show him that he has not a monster - else she would not be able to stand to touch him.BTW, booty call? That woman was clearly someone who had history with Archer and knew him a lot better than Forrest, T'Pol, perhaps even Trip. She knew something was wrong with him the moment she saw him at the 602 club and that he seriously needed to talk to someone.
There was more friendship, caring and intimacy between them in that episode then between Archer and any other character from the show, except for maybe Trip. But then, we never really saw Archer *truly* opening up to anyone, Trip included (not counting "First Flight" here, the issues Archer had there were not exactly personal or private).
