The Pleasancies of Rewatching

Until Spike TV picked it up, oh those were good days, weeks of ten episodes each during prime time, some programming execs really knew what they were doing.

Ahh those were good times, spent many late nights watching trek on Spike.

I'm working my way through enterprise as well, it's my GF first time watching, we just got into S4. It's fun watching with someone who hasn't seen it, and I always enjoy seeing the cast develop over the seasons.

Bound was surprisingly good, in retrospect. The watershed moment where the Orion captain reveals that he and all the males are slaves to the women puts a whole new spin on the Orions.

I <3 the Trip/T'Pol romance, though the way they're written makes it difficult to understand why they avoid their feelings for each other or taking actions in alignment with those.

Bakula often seems, to me, to be uncomfortable - an impression I never really got when he was the lead on Quantum Leap. As Archer, particularly in S1, he seems to be kind of struggling to find his muse. In a way, that wasn't too bad, though. I can personally add an in-universe explanation, of people who don't know each other well, plus of him being somewhat Boy Scout-ish (and he admits to being an Eagle Scout, although Reed one-ups him in the medals department) until the rubber really hits the road.

Uncomfartable is a good description. I always felt like he had a constapated grimace on his face when he tried to react/emote.

I remember he was supposed to have a "ladies man" personal but htat was pretty much forgotten about after Civilization.

"Constipated grimace" - perfect. I had never been able to articulate it with that much precision.

The Shipment was great, agreed. Nuanced.
