I watch TV while eating, because TV takes my mind off the textures of the food and helps me dissociate from eating. I also have a very active imagination and ability to immerse myself in a show
Enterprise seems to have characters beaten bloody, covered in soot, drenched in sweat or slime, or poisoned by trellium-D every other episode. It’s very hard to watch Enterprise compared to the rest of Star Trek
@rubikcuber @TeaHands I mostly remember Hoshi and her “am I really working with all these dumb children?” constant face. The rest were either someone randomly having to shower with T’Pol, or Rick Berman making T’Pol have anime falls over Archer (boobs to the face, etc). And Tripp being the most insufferable asshole always… I think the only things I liked from Enterprise were the opening (I know most people don’t) and Hoshi.
You’re not wrong, although I’m never sure which of Tripp or Merryweather was the most insufferable asshole.
Hoshi wasn’t immune from anime treatment either. The time she dropped down from a ceiling vent, leaving her clothing snagged behind her was particularly egregious.
That moment was when the show lost me, it was ridiculous. It reminded me of those old Art Frahm pinup posters where they depicted, against all physics and plausible circumstance, a woman’s underwear suddenly dropping down around her ankles from under her dress in public.
