I tend to agree. I like Bakula as a person. He has a great attitude. He's appreciative of Star Trek and his part in it, he doesn't have a big head or a bad attitude. And he's just a likable guy. He's got such a great attitude that I wouldn't have even minded a brief cameo in one of the Abrams movies as a proper send off for Bakula since TATV was, well TATV.

But yeah, in the first two seasons his acting was quite a bit stiff a lot of times. It seemed he wasn't totally comfortable and was trying to force things. He got much better during the Xindi arc and he did start to grow on me. Season 4 was much improved. He seemed more relaxed in the role and his easy going personality started showing more. Maybe part of it was the expectation by then that Enterprise was likely to end that season. Maybe he just figured, screw it, he's going to just enjoy his time on the show.

I like the idea of a proper send off. Though I wish they had had him pass the baton for Discovery. He's already in the CBS family, why not have an old video clip or hologram of Archer in Discovery's pilot episode for example?
 
I like Scott Bakula. He has an innate likability. I don't think he's wooden at all. However, I don't think he has a commanding voice which makes it hard to play certain characters. He's perfect for playing a character who loves exploration and flight and is genuinely awed by the majesty of space. His weakest moments are when he has to be a be a be authoritative or intimidating. Overall, I think his acting ability is on par with all of the other Trek captains outside of Patrick Stewart.

Oddly enough, I think Bakula would have been great as Trip. You would need to drop the pointless southern accent, of course. Bakula as Trip with Keith Carradine playing A.G. Robinson as the Captain, maybe? I don't know.

Noah, you have already been cautioned to refrain from resurrecting a long-dead thread to troll one of your fellow members. How unfortunate that you have elected not to take that wise advice. Warning for trolling. Comments to PM.

And I'm putting a stake through the heart of this undead thread.
