T'Pol subplot was good
By sb2004

I disagree completely with Deus' take on the T'Pol subplot. I thought it was incredible. We know T'Pol isn't like other Vulcans and this proves it. She has become seduced by the dark side of humans ... something foreshadowed as early as Fusion in season one and addressed directly in last season's Cease Fire ... and is now paying the price.

What would have NOT worked for me is if the b-plot had followed the spoilers, which were surprisingly inaccurate. The spoilers said that T'Pol was using T-D in order to build up immunity. In other words, she was becoming a martyr in order to save her crew, just as Spock might have done.

BOOORRRRRING!

To have T'Pol instead take the selfish route had me dropping my jaw to the floor. It was unexpcted and it was gutsy and it impressed me to no end.

Likewise, having Archer act like one of the many villains we saw on TNG or Voyager was a fantastic twist and one I could never have imagined seeing. That airlock scene in Anomaly could have been, well, an anomaly. But it wasn't.

Between Azati Prime and Damage, Enterprise is doing what many people have complained for 3 years that it hasn't done -- given us a wholly new spin on the characters and, even moreso give 40 years of same old, same old -- unpredictability.
