What do you think happened to the Illyrian ship

[Hopeful Romantic]

^^Of course, Archer would be blamed and vilified and cursed and called a loser and a dolt by folks who are Archer anti-fans, no matter what he did. Look, he found the Kir-Shara and put the Vulcan enlightenment into motion. He founded the Federation. Planets were named after him. But the hate is strong.

I mean, go look at the "Least Disliked Episode" threads. The hate is strong for this show.

But you may have noticed that I have the same (dis)regard for TATV that many folks have for Archer. IDIC, right? We all have our reasons, and our opinions.

I think Archer could have been written much more consistently. Written to be a leader and a hero, an Enterprise captain. It's a shame that he wasn't.

Aaaaaand getting back on topic, I think after the dust settled when the good guys booted the Sphere Builders and destroyed the spheres and the Expanse stopped being the Expanse and turned back into normal space, Archer, who probably never forgot the transgressions he was forced to commit in order to save the galaxy, would have sent ships in search of the Illyrians to put things right. It's a duh. I think he would have sent ships back to the North Star planet too, to bring back whatever humans wanted to return, and searched for E2 also, once the Expanse settled down, cuz the E2 crew is family. Cuz why not?

I think you're right. After all, don't forget saving the planet from the Xindi weapon. Archer did that, too.

If Archer HAD shared the cure, I wonder if community opposition to his decision would be as strong. Instead of accusing him of genocide with the Valakians, would people say he oppressed the Menk?

I'm not judging, just wondering out loud.

I'd say he understood evolution better than his CMO, which is troubling.

Archer went back and jacked them for their warp core. Left them stranded in space. I don't recall how long it was suppose to take them to get home without it, but you'd think someone from earth would've gone back to assist them. A small follow-up regarding them would've been nice. They seemed to be good folks.

One hard spot I had on how they wrapped up Season 3. They easily could have had a bit where they informed the Xindi on what they had to do so they could agree to help them, or the Enterprise could have sought them out at a later date.

Or sent the Columbia, or had a Vulcan ship head out their way.
