I get the strong feeling that Jolene is trying to rescue her own image and reputation with these all-too-public comments criticizing Enterprise, whether it be the writing or the show's chances for survival. Sorry, but it smacks too much of egoism and very little of team play.

I'm sure that given Jolene's popularity with the fans and importance to the show she could easily raise these issues and her concerns about her character with the writers - where it will do the most good. IMO that's the most direct way to solve the problem.

Spouting a bunch of criticisms in genre magazines that do nothing to burnish the already shaky reputation of the show with the fans seems very much like a self-serving ploy to try to restore her reputation.

The real issuse here, IMHO, is that inconsistent characterization has been the crux of Brannon Braga's weakness as a writer on this series.

For heaven sake, facets of Archer's character were changed willy nilly from week to week in the first two seasons, depending on what the plot demanded. Even Phlox was not immune from the characterization serves plot syndrome from time to time.

It is only with Mike Sussman's episodes in the second season and then Coto's influence in the third that we began to get a clear, consistent picture of who Archer was.

I have every confidence that with Sussman and Coto handling more of the writing duties, characterization will improve across the board. Now admittedly, I haven't read the entire interview, but I just don't like Ms. Blalock sounding so much to the press as if she has lost faith in the series.
