Ok that is true. But what is with the sudden unhappiness? There are ways of getting your point across. If you are part of the cast hoping to improve your character. Going around doing interviews bashing the show and writers is not going to solve her problem. Coto is not B&B so her anger should be directed at those two.


Quote:"Also, all of the people jumping to the conclusion that she has never spoken up are not considering the possibility that she may have been doing just that internally for years, but only now feels compelled to discuss it publicly.

That might be true but her timing is questionable. On the eve of a new season (which it barely didn't get renewed) with a new show runner who promises to tie in ENT to the rest of Trek, some new proven Trek writers (Garfield) and the upcoming appearance of Spiner and Shatner. The episode of Shatner I definitely plan on watching! I think her timing is off.


Quote:" Ironically, Scorned's entire first paragraph of rant essentially criticizes her for making the same criticisms he's been making for years, and then he tells her to quit if she's so unhappy. Gee, kind of like how Scorned could quit watching the show if he is so unhappy.

I am not the bad guy here. For a period there I was NOT watching ENT but I did keep tabs on it with the faint hopes that it might get better. So I did put my money where my mouth is. Unfortunately they dragged the Xindi arc for so long it bored the hell out of everyone. Dragging it out for so long then quickly wrapping it up and giving us the Nazis???

Yes, Jolene does repeat what I (and others mind you) have been saying for a while now. My comments to her with this new sudden "unhappiness" is that she if she feels that the character is now a joke. Then she should approach B&B at the time and now Coto and say "I am a joke here". When her 3 year contract was up she could either renew or not. If she renewed she should of had it understood that the T'Pol character will NOT be portrayed as an "anorexic crack whore" anymore. If she is worried about her career than maybe leaving ENT was the right thing to do. Yes Jolene is entitled to her opinion but her timing is not the best. Her sudden unhappiness is questionable. After 3 years she now unhappy? I could understand after the first 2 seasons of bad ratings and horrible scripts that she is not happy. Are we going to hear Avery Brooks say that for all the 7 years he did DS9 he hated going to work everyday?

So I think everyone is getting a little to sensitive here because I am no way upset or need to cool down after what she has said. However I am not the bad here.

He's just here to cause trouble anyways. He's like the Rothtards over at VHLinks. Just attention whores. I'd grab the MAC address of his router (assuming there is a router) and his IP address and block them.

I agree. And this is not the first time we've had actors come out and criticize. A number of Voyager actors have complained when they were on their show, and even noted that some of their complaints fell on deaf ears. Beltran was one of the most vocal; Picardo was also if I remember correctly. I see nothing wrong with it. These are smart actors who just want to see the best product possible. All the more power to them! Especially when it concerns Trek - something that should always be top quality, thought provoking, consistent and entertaining.

Yoiks. Both you and Timo use the same invalid link. The TrekWeb article in question refers to the October 2003 Zap2It article that I first mention in my post here.
