Look Mossura, I'm really sorry that your attempt of provocation failed and people actually started discussing their favorite ENT characters, but saying stuff like "more proof that the series was holoprogrammatic" is ENT bashing and IMO does not belong in the ENT boards.TATV is an episode of ENT. I liked it and I like that Trip died, they weren't promoted and the speech wasn't given. and that Riker and Troi shone in their roles as the makers of ENT. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the episode, but variegated opinion is what makes discussing Trek interesting.
I have always been a fan of Will Riker (even of D. Troi FTM), and for me, seeing Frakes and Sirtis allow such misuse (abuse even) of their characters was genuinely sad. Now please lay off the TATV.
