Hoshi versus T'Pol

Hoshi Sato has more control. Am thinking T'Pol has science to wield around but Hoshi has better action and agile behavior. Am voting self for Hoshi Sato, as T':Pol is a little stiff as Vulcan,...good execution not great form though. Hoshi seems more into the role of Communications and handles situations a lot better than T'Pol it seems here. How about you, what are your thoughts about this somewhat rivalry of these two crew persons? T'Pol might be more intelligent just not as good at problem solving.
 
I like them both very much and feel like their working and personal relationships became very close.
 
But only if she's shipped with Archer. Then I might reconsider.

Why should she? Archer is most lazy written captain that we have. He is not capable of learning from his mistakes at least two seasons, sometimes it is unbelievable that this person can be an adult. T'Pol is always loyal and respectful to Archer, but not vice versa.

And sorry to say and with all the love to Hoshi, she is not playing at the same league with T'Pol. If we only evaluate both as crew member, so far as I remember only twice they could not make without Hoshi, but they would be already lost at the pilot episode without T'Pol. Hoshi was second best at her class, Archer could choose the best one. She is replaceable, T'Pol not!
 
I know mixing in Star Wars does not go over well in these parts, but let me just quote: "From your point of view"!

I myself believe the truth to be another. :p
 
Ohh, it is soo philosophical discussion. I can understand you very well and I can live with it. Love is always illogical. Isn't it great?
Nevertheless, facts do not care what we are thinking and feeling. They are existing, they can be proven and they can give same results under same test conditions. :devil:
Enjoy yourself! ;)
 
I could say that fact is T'Pol was condescending and rude until she started to defrost and like the captain. Fact is, this is the only ship that works and I'm totally being objective and I WILL FIGHT YOU (and also for the right to party). :lol:
 
Know that I am suggesting heresy but the books pair T’Pol with Trip and Archer with Danica Erickson. They don’t mention Hoshi’s mate. :scream: Or Reed’s. Or Mayweather’s dangit. Maybe I’ve overlooked something.
 
Somebody in an earlier post said Hoshi was replaceable. That's debatable. I think Hoshi was one of a kind. I doubt there were too many people who can learn and translate new alien languages as quickly as she could. She had a mind like a universal translator. That ability is borderline mutant and proved to be invaluable on more than one occasion. Could Archer have found another Vulcan science officer? Probably, but he'd have a hard time finding another Hoshi.
