Disagree on Bakula.

Agreed on Jolene and Beltran.

Good post.

What about the triumverate of Archer, T'Pol and Trip didn't work?

All of it. He spent half the series hating her guts and being petulant to the point of making decisions almost just to spite her. How is THAT a functioning dynamic?

Whether or not Braga ever watched TOS is irellevant because he did not write every word, of every episode.. far from it! You should keep an open mind, stop trying to compare them to Kirk, Spock and McCoy and get off Braga's back.

I compare them because that's what the producers were trying to recreate in a cheap attempt to get viewers and failed miserably at doing. It doesn't matter who wrote what because the goal was clear between the two producers and should be judged on whether or not they achieved it. They didn't. Archer and Trip worked. Even Trip and T'Pol worked on some lesser level, but they never meshed TOGETHER.

The sexpot that you say they oogled saved that television show. She was an example of a ratings gimmick that actually worked.

Prove this statement, please. How did it "save" the show?

Quote:
but Jolene Blalock is a San Diego resident and we have mutual friends. Her lips and breasts are not only very real, but she is an athlete who has competed in track and volleyball. "Skeletal" must be your way of saying "fits her catsuit like a glove."

I didn't say her lips weren't real. I said they looked like wax.

And her breasts are fake. Absolutely, positively, utterly, completely fake. Anyone with close to 20/20 vision can tell they are.

And no, not "fits her catsuit like a gluve." More like "Jesus, give this woman a cheeseburger because she looks like a famine victim that I swear could probably debone a chicken with her collarbone." It's just a little disgusting.

He wasn't a bad character, he just happened to be one of the least-compelling in the cast;

And why is that, hmm? It's not Beltran's fault. He's a crap character because, as with much of B&B's grand plans they couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag. So they left Chakotay as a character to die on the vine. Nothing you've said even disagrees with that assertion.

Quote:
He bitched about it and noone called him out because he was right

He bitched about the crap writing in general and Chakotay's uselessness (as written) in particular. And, ohhh so many fans called him out. Called him ungrateful and trashed Chakotay as a crap character as though that was somehow Beltran's fault.

Quote:
I think the weak relationship he was set up with Seven at the end of the show was the writer's way of "giving him something to do".

It was nonsense. Beltran called it left field nonsense. I actually heard from 20 feet away Jeri Ryan call it nonsense and "kind of stupid." It was just B & B being done with it and taking one last opportunity to put as much thought and care into Chakotay as they had for the previous 7 years.
