Yep. They're available through Amazon Unbox for $1.99 per episode.
The downside is I can't burn them to DVD or transfer them to another device.

I agree, tomalak. There was something extremely genuine about Trip. It appealed. Connor owned the part.
Actually, Patrick Stewart was "known," but mostly as a BBC actor from the Royal Shakespeare Company. (I doubt tons of folks on this board saw I, Claudius, Hedda Gabbler or him as Claudius in one of the best productions of Hamlet known to mankind (imo).)
Patrick Stewart went from "BBC actor" to household name (and gigs like Charles Xavier) because he was truly brilliant and outstanding. It's how he overcame being typecast as Picard. What made him so good? It had very little to do with his looks, modified accent or how well he cried saying, "There are four lights." And yet, they underscore talent. Big difference and all about acting choices and embodying a role.

patrick stewart not only got a lot of critical acclaim for claudius; he also was in tinker tailor soldier spy and especially for the genre connection dune.
but the thread isnt about stewart or for that matter about how well connor has done since enterprise went off the air.
it is about his acting within enterprise.
and once again back to subject another favorite moment is in singularity when archer comes to see trip down in engineering.
a really fun scene..well acted by both scott and connor.
ARCHER: As long as I'm down here, maybe I can get your opinion.
TUCKER: Don't move. (trip is scanning jon for his chair
ARCHER: How does one measure a man's legacy? Is it defined by the works he's created, the technological advances that will forever alter the course of human history?
TUCKER: Turn around.
ARCHER: If so, then no man since Zephram Cochrane, himself has made a more lasting contribution to the future of humankind than my father, Doctor Henry Archer.
TUCKER: All done.
ARCHER: What do you think?
TUCKER: Sounds good.
ARCHER: Let me read you the rest.
TUCKER: I really need to get to work on this.
ARCHER: It's just a few more pages.
TUCKER: How many more?
ARCHER: Nineteen.
TUCKER: Nineteen? Are you writing the preface or the book?
ARCHER: I've got a lot to say.
TUCKER: No kidding.
ARCHER: What's that supposed to mean?
TUCKER: If I may, sir, it's a little longwinded.
ARCHER: You're lucky you're a decent engineer because you obviously don't know anything about writing.
TUCKER: I'm not the only one.

I love that interaction to hilarious!
That scene in Singularity is priceless (I couldn't believe this episode didn't make the SciFi channel's Viewers' Choice Marathon).
Connor's focus in that scene is a perfect example of him staying in the part. Playing totally preoccupied solely through behavior is a really hard thing to do and Connor's performance was brilliant.
And Scott does a great job of reading the preface as if he thinks Trip is actually listening to him. There is never the smallest inkling that Archer realizes he is reading his "masterpiece" to the walls.

Scott actually makes a pretty good straight man here. Connor's abilities as a comedic actor, physical and verbal, are pretty sharp.
Going on, in Similitude, Connor creates yet another version of "Trip" in Sim. This time he gives us "Trip/Sim" as an "innocent", but an innocent with all the memories of a 35 year old -- no easy acting task.
We see "Trip/Sim" simultaneously show Trip's engineering acumen and latent personality traits (which took Trip years to develop), while at the same time dealing with powerful personal feelings toward T'Pol, while at the same time becoming an individual -- an individual who is becoming desparate to live.
No telling where he would have taken the character if he'd had him a few more years.
Hey, how do you think I feel?!

Another one of my fav eps is Similitude; voted for that one always nice to see that one always makeing it on the choices for marathon. And I like the wee bit of difference between Sim and Trip which was nice!

Well, I watched both episodes. It didn't take long for me to get up to speed, since I had a spotty knowledge of the show before. "The Expanse" was a solid episode, the tone was dark, gritty and somber. As a Niner, I can appreciate dark and gritty. The only annoying thing in that episode was the Klingons. I felt they could have been removed from the episode entirely and it would not have suffered.
So, onto "The Forgotten". The pacing was notable immediately. The show looked like it had came into it's own by this time and the performances were top notch. Trip breaking down and crying over his baby sister was completely believable. I got teary eyed watching it. As the title says, Connor Trineer was brilliant. I also think Jolene Blalock's performance was solid, and I regret saying she was just eye candy for the show. She could act, and she did well.
So now I would like to sample more of the show. Perhaps I was wrong about it only being good once in a while. Maybe the show was solid and I was just not paying attention. I love all of the characters, all of the actors performances were terrific, and I was gratified to see old earth (which of course is our future earth) as it was.
So, I want to see more. If I could see one or two more episodes that would let me know the overall theme of the show, and represent it well, what would they be?
And one last note, I love Phlox. He is a thousand ways from awesome.
That is all.

I would suggest -- you like it dark and gritty -- Azati Prime, Damage, (you're seen The Forgotten), The Council, Countdown and Zero Hour (just ignore that stupid crap at the end of ZH).So, I want to see more.

Can I just say watched Singularity last night and that was funny; all the crews different obsessions were funny to watch. And then the ending with the chair was great. No wonder in the bloopers Bakula had a hard time keeping a straight face had to be a hard scene to do with Connor just standing there saying his lines. Didn't realize rest of crew was in scene all you see are those two in the bloopers.
Sue, that's my second favorite blooper in the whole series. Trineer gives that nonsense line, and Bakula valiantly tries to keep it together and deliver his line for a beat, then just gives up and goes into giggles: "That's ... just not fair!" Cracks me up every time.
A Trineer moment I rewind constantly: in Singularity, Trip shoots the funniest expressions at Reed when Reed's complaining about the slow reaction time to the Reed Alert siren.
I really like the interaction between Trip and Hoshi in Vanishing Point. Trineer really gets across Trip's concern, humour, and kindness in that gym scene.
And I wish I could make ringtone out of, "Wissssp. I like that. Wissssssp."

I laugh at the fact its funny you see the eps and know Trip has torn that seat apart and such and when he finishes it and makes it feel different it was just a little thing he ended up doing; but I mean poor Bakula just looses it and Connor just stands there being straight man to the fact the chair just need a little adjusting to make the captain happy. I love that I think the bloopers for Enterprise are hilarious; I also like the one Connor has when Captain is rushing off and Connor says "I have something that might give you a leg up" and Connor and Scott look at each like that has to be the dumbest line.
Can I just say I love Connors laugh also!

I just finished watching "Similitude".
Brilliantly written. Brilliantly acted. Broke my heart.
I'm hooked.

Trinneer has said "Similitude" is his favorite episode. It's right up there for me, too, with "Observer Effect," "The Forgotten," a couple others.
I couldn't take my eyes off it when I first saw it. The scene between Sim and T'Pol in her quarters..."You're all I think about..." The music... (The music won an Emmy.)
There's a lot of subtext to the dialogue, a lot of nuance to the performances. A compelling plot that puts the characters under pressure and reveals all sorts of things about them. The subtlety of Trinneer's turn as Sim, making him Trip, but not Trip. The way Archer seemed to age about twenty years over the course of a week, because of the burden of creating Sim. That scene between Sim and Archer in Trip's quarters-- "I need Trip! Trip!" I thought Bakula was wonderful, too.
