Loved "Twilight" but it made NO sense

What did Phlox and T'Pol notice exactly? I'm confused as to what point in the episode we're referring to.
 
I agree. I thought the sight of the settlement made up of the scavanged hulls of the armada (excluding the few ships that had weapons capability) was stunning. Tho' the interior of T'Pol and Archer's home was awfully HGTV considering what they presumably had to work with.

Agreed, but since Trip wouldn't get to see Archer very much, he despite being Captain of Enterprise would have worked his rear off to build him the best house possible. I'd be willing to bet Reed and Hoshi would've also settled for nothing less.

Also it being so nice, helps to set up the reveal of the situation very well.
I just think the interior was too finished off. And I don't believe that Archer -- whatever his stature -- would have wanted to live in better digs than his neighbors (even if the neighbors didn't begrudge him).

I also doubt that under the circumstances, the officers and crew of the NX-01 would be in a position to invest any time -- much less materials -- in making sure AnT would have best crib on Ceti Alpha 5.

T'Pol did have years to work on it too. And it being a pleasant environment would be a must, since Archer would be unfamiliar with it. Otherwise he'd wake up with no memory in a room that was falling apart, which could put him on aggressive mode, which could cause bigger problems.

OK, fine. T'Pol is not just a nursemaid, she's The Happy Homemaker because Archer might be confused and upset when he wakes up in a shantytown every morning.

Phlox had been taking detailed scans of Archer's brain. When he eradicated one of the parasites, he went back and checked earlier scans, and the parasite he zapped had also disappeared from all such earlier scans - as if it never existed at all.

She's a vulcan. She's not capable of happiness.

Damn those vampire books. I actually clicked on this thread because I thought "Why are those vampire books being talked about in the Ent forum?"
 
That's because it was the only good episode in an otherwise waste of a season.
Yeah, I mean, how the hell can anyone like that shit? I mean, like, take The Forgotten, for example. That episode is pure shit. Emotions? Fine acting? Why would Trek need any of that, right?

And don't even get me started on that Similitude piece of shit... Moral dilemmas? In MY Star Trek? Fuck no!

:shifty:

My real beef with the third season was I hated the Xindi. I thought they were stupid. And I hated making the storyline the destruction of Earth in the prequel show. I felt that there were other things they could have (and should have) done.

Which episode was The Forgotten anyway? I forgot.

Seriously.

Seriously.
The Forgotten is the episode where Archer orders Trip to send a condolence letter to the family of a young woman on his engineering team and he keeps procrastinating because all he can think of is his sister. He finally breaks down while talking to T'Pol and finally comes to terms with his sister's death.

Meanwhile, Degra is now working with Archer to prevent the destruction of Earth.
 
I must say that I love the Xindi, except that they showed some stupid behaviour ... testing the weapon on Earth, so that the Humans would be alerted on what was going to come? But the concept of a multi-species race was an interesting idea ... although I have no idea how the Aquatics could have built spaceships or anything else. I mean, without hands? Well, maybe they had some help from the other species, who knows.
