Reflections on Borderland
By Gary P

I have to say that ‘Borderland’ was an enjoyable episode. Not amazing but very good. I agree with the person below who suggested that Enterprise would not be in their present ratings struggle had season 1 or 2 started off with this type of writing/story quality. It is as CLEAR AS DAY that B&B are not behind this story and for that, I am relieved and thankful. A few talking points – I thought that;

- The Big Show ‘Paul White’ was great. For those of you that had a problem with him on this episode, what did you want the guy to act like? This man has a huge presence and it was portrayed well in this episode. He also contributed to the excellent fighting choreography in this episode, which was probably the best physical fighting sequences I’ve seen on a Star Trek episode since DS9.

- Bakula’s portrayal of Archer is the best I’ve seen yet in these past two episodes. He’s conflicted and a bit put off by his current missions, as if they are not what he originally signed up for. When the Orions begin attacking his ship, the look on his face is that of anger and annoyance. “What ever happened to those missions of exploration I was promised” is what the look conveys. Again, well done.

- After three seasons, I just don’t know what to make of T’Pols character and her role on the show. Would the Enterprise crew be better off with or without her? I’m not sure. She seems to always be too busy fighting her inner demons to contribute anything to her crew. She always seems conflicted with herself which is unsettling for me to constantly watch. Nothing like Spock, who was confident in conveying his logic AND portraying his emotions in an intriguing manner. T’Pol on the other hand, holds in her emotions like most of us hold in a bowel movement.
