AwakeningAwakening, aired November 26, 2004 Another excellent episode! Trip and Soval continue to make this series wonderful. Poor T'Pol! Her scenes with T'Les illustrate what the cracks in Vulcan society are, and T'Les did indeed do all she did for T'Pol. Trip and T'Pol? Nothing, nada, zilch. Still, a great episode. I was NOT a fan of season 3 by any stretch of the imagination, so I really appreciate how much thought has gone into trying to truly making a prequel of this series. It is a pity that Trip and T'Pol - one of the reasons this series is still on the air - aren't at least given a nod by Dawson who directed this episode. Let me just say that if, as someone posted below, Soval is killed off next week, I will be very upset! That would be one of the stupidest things TPTB ever did.
The injuries to Soval's face are from last episode, from the explosion
at the Earth embassy. Malcolm asks, "Did you tell him about the Captain and T'Pol?" Trip: "I left that part out." Trip: "There isn't a whole lot he can do about it." Except blow up
Enterprise. But really, no one would have expected V'Las to do
that. So, can we dump Captain Boring and get Captain Tucker on full time?
Archer clearly needs to wander the desert with Surak's katra to keep him
company. That is what he is meant to do. And somehow the viewers will
muddle through with the funny, sarcastic, thoughtful, engaging Captain
Tucker in his stead. Sounds like more than a fair exchange. It is a
win/win situation. As long as we don't have to watch Archer wandering the
desert and instead get to see the adventures of
Enterprise! Ie, will V'Las kill all of us because he is completely wacko and either
needs to get laid or get a little Trellium D to take the edge off or he
really, really needs to stop reading those pseudo-Surak tracts. Probably
the pseudo-Surak tracts are doing the most damage - V'Las somehow thinks
they give him permission to kill everyone who doesn't see things the same
way he does. A whole mess of folks have made commentsGreat caps, as always! I really liked this episode, but I'm mad that they killed off T'Pol's mom. She was one of my favorite extra characters they've had on since the series started. GRRRR...I hope they have a great Trip/T'Pol scene at the end of the three eps to make up for it. Polly, you slut. Keep your hands to yourself, or preferrably (not spelt rite) on Trip! hey give the girl a break. her mama said she always had a hard time with her emotions. besides her takin' care of the cap'n shows she has heart, look at it this way: she knew trip would be sad if he lost his friend. so she's REALLY lookin' out for our boy's emotional well being okay so like no one else gave thought to how some might be confused w/naming a secondary character so closely to a lead? t'pau/t'pol it's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's super trip! here he comes to save the day!!! All rite, a break has been given. I did feel sorry for her when her ma died. I guess now she has even more potential to get closer to trip after losing a family member and all. But still don't you think even in The Forge she was a little too nurturing to the Cpt? good silent cry at the end he is soooo dastardly handsome when he's taking command i was just informed that dastardly means "in a cowardly, mean, sneaky manner" so i didn't mean it. he's dashingly handsome when he's in command Were is T'Pols father? (dad) Its a shame T'Pol mum is dead! the show does not air in Australia so this site is the only way I have to knowing whats going on,wish I could watch the show.Count yourselves lucky to be able to watch the show.This is a top (great) site thanks heaps (alot) it is certainly better than having sweet F.A. (fuck all) which means 'nothing at all' and at the moment its making me feel sad but bugger thats life.Have a top day people and be thankfull you have the show,Hoo-roo. P.S:struth youre times are weird its 5:32pm on a sunday here it makes me laugh to see the time it says Iam on,surpose thats what fans have in commom the world over our hummor,Hoo-roo. Trip on the big screen, gotta love that. Poor T'Pol, bye bye Mummy. At least this gives T'Pol an out to her marriage to Koss, his parents are probably strict Vulcans and might dump T'Pol in favour of a less volatile mate. Can't wait to seenext week! Keep up the great work as always! Just curious... does T'Pau have an accent? Guess what, Soval did make himself comfortable on Enterprise, sitting
on T'Pol's station and all, don't you think? look at cap a48. then go and watch search for spock, i think its the same thing that spock did to bones when his "body was in death". anyway good episode can't wait to see the next. This episode was amazing. T'Pol crying for her mom and the last episode for Joanna Cassidy. She
really played an excellent role. Soval being even a more softie than before. Gosh those Vulcans are so gullible. Except for the ebil HC or course. V'Los being particulary nasty. And quite stunning to see that Surak died due to radiation poisoning. Clearly a link to our world that the danger of nuclear weapons still remains a great threat to humanity. A little tip for those who aren't US. You might use Google together with the last episodes names and torrent added. Just comes in handy if you forgot to put on your VCR. Wow, I haven't seen it yet but it looks great. I can't believe they killed Polly's mom! I really liked her too. At least she will go down in our collective memory as a likeable Vulcan. Speaking of likeable Vulcan's is anyone else really liking this new and improved Soval. I love him to death now. But howed those cuts on his ears get there? I can't wait for the rerun. Damn those who keep me from tv on fridays Go Captain Trip! This looks really great. Can't wait to see it. Love how Trip and Soval work together....kudos to CT and GG. A good ep. and great pics. I think T'Pol's mom dying was the only way to keep the tension and keep Tu/T guessing. At least she has a chance with him now. Since her mom's gone she doesn't have to stay married to @$$...ahem...I mean Koss. And I have to agree...Trip makes a cute, lovable Captain. Oh and cool on the Trip/Soval friendship forming. But I'll bet Coto wants to add more drama so he'll have Soval die at the end of the 3-part arc. Also, about the whole T'Pol nuturing Archer...she's his friend and she cares for him. What she does is not just for Trip but for her. And last but not least (just in case I haven't said it enough already ;) ) Archer is so lovable with a Vulcan personality!!!!! One last note before I go...check out www.fanfiction.com under Michelle Russ for a fanfic following this three part arc. It's a Tu/T feature and it talks about T'Pol's mom's death and Trip comes to comfort her...and maybe more. It should be up within the next couple of days and hopefully the House of Tucker will publish it to their site too so you can read it here. This was another great episode! Too bad T'pol's mother died. But, in reality, she was the source of all the emotional termoil inflicted upon T'Pol of late. Her intentions may have been good, but the end result has been misery for her daughter. Look next week for the end of Koss, and for Soval to return to THC after the demise of V'los. Well, I happen to like this Archer a whole lot more than I like any past Archer. And I'm with MR: "Archer is so lovable with a Vulcan personality!" Um... TP'D... T'Pau came first, actually. See the original Trek episode "Amok Time" (I think that's the one, anyway". I love this episode. Even without T/T. Second time I've said that and I haven't been struck by lightning. Yet. OMG!!! LOL That was very funny myst. :-)))) On 27 November 2004 at 05:32 AM TP'D said: On
There Vulcans what did you expect do you remember T'Pel from another star Trek. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Beyond the point T'Pol awwwwwwww her mum's dead how sad I still don't understand how the women did that for T'Pol? Vulcan against Andoria Vulcans should win I'm sorry but Vulcans rule, but now think about it Trip and T'Pol will have more in commom maybe he can give her some neuropressure *hint hint* Is it just me or do half the old Vulcan guys have the same wig -- i mean, same style, same EXACT color, and all that? What's up with that? forgive my ignorance. i thought star wars was more fun than star trek when i was little. i wasnt really into the og trek. just mostly familiar w/TNG and on. so no, i didnt notice any of the weird similarities vulcans have w/ the other treks. the only vulcan i was familiar w/ was tuvok from VYG. and of course spock, but that was only casually like any pop culture junkie, so thanx for the info i really do enjoy this site, you get to make sarcastic remarks, find fellow trekkies who are more obsessed than you and sometimes, you even learn a thing or two rock on ;) WAUW Soval can't be Administrator if he's dead, right? And if he's not administrator he can't annul T'Pol's marriage, no? Also, only Soval can embrace the "root of all reasoning" on behalf of all Vulcans. Won't Archer be relieved! The dork. Anyway. T'Pau scores bigtime on the cute'o'meter. Another terrific episode. Wait until the next one! Our Soval finds himself in real trouble! Syranites don't have the same hair its all shaggy like dogs. I've gotta say, I'm loving Soval this season. I sure as heck wouldn't say 'no' to his becoming more of a regular. (Hey, it happened all the time on Voyager, didn't it?) As for T'Pau...Eeeee! I /love/ seeing her as a very young woman, because she's so very different from the T'Pau we saw in the original Star Trek. Y'know, it's only now that I realize that we've /never/ seen or heard much about Vulcan in all the years of Star Trek. Enterprise is really the only series that gets us up close and personal with Earth's closest allies. A HUGE thank you to the writers for finally shining a light on Vulcan and its people! well if you think about it ENT is a prequel, so TP'D is right, from a certain point of view does WAUW mean "what are u whacked?" or does it just mean "wow" Koss only married t'pol to find out more about the Syrrannite. His familie is somewhat powerfull on vulcan and they don't want to lose it. T'pol only married him because she wanted to protect her mother, and I think T'les let her get married thinking T'Pol would be protected against the backlash of her joining the Syrrannites. I think Surak would be better of joining T'Pol, she has panaar, so no Vulcan could ever get Surak out of her without dying him of herself, and 2 she is mostly on the enterprise so far away from Vulcan, this also saves Archer from riding in on his high and might white horse, wich I hope they will not do, since I really hate it, the Vulcan are so much more cultivated then the humans, they just have a small bump in the road and now the humans come in and thell them how to live, no way, please don't let that happen. That sucks I am not english, so wauw means WOW, tjeez I didn't know you write that
differently. Sometimes I feel very confused just like t'pol with the
english language, at specially when trip starts talking slang. To let you
get introduced to my language, I'll write you a small sentence Vulcan buildings are cool, very Star Wars-ish. And they're huge too, I already noticed a part of them around the Earth Embassy (which was already a lot bigger than I expected), and those rounded buildings seemed to be all over the place. Really cool we got to see the capital city for a change, I was hoping Vulcan had something more than just small houses on top of vulcanoes. I think the vulcans are going to lose their control over starfleet after this arc, and starfleet being able to put more pressure on the (new?) VHC. Hopefully a more mutual alliance will emerge, instead of the VHC telling starfleet what they can and cannot do all the time. Diane, I don't think TP'D was attacking your english, but merely wondering what wauw stood for. :-) I'm a fellow dutchie btw. myst - re A30 - I think the line was "We've got a reconn (as in
reconnaissance (sp?)) satellite to jam" Voice of Power was rite, didnt mean to offend in any way Diane, jus wanted to know what it meant peace, live long and prosper btw mandarin chinese and korean are also some of the hardest lang. to
learn, not to mention klingon k'plah (or however it is you spell
it) so i'm kinda confused w/ all the acronyms,what is TPTB and btw? All the Vulcans were a bit too emotional in this episode, including the Syrranites, I say blame it on the director. BTW, BTW = By The Way TPTB=The Powers That Be I think Trip is so HOT,when he is charge of Enterprise. He just seems so powerful, like he doesn't give a s**t who he tells off. I loved it when he stood up to the head of the VHC guy. So more cheeseheads here? I've read some nice T&T info but won't post it here since it will spoil all the fun. Just a few more days till episode 3 of the arc. Wow, Connor Trinneer just has the CUTEST grin of any guy, anywhere!! You just can't help but smile when you see it. Thud! (and she falls off her chair, again) LAC = Lusting After Connor! :) Oh yeah. I'm very definitely LAC. BTW, I don't think that that's an image of the Kir'Shara in the background of that first pic, but of Mount Seleya. Maybye T'Pol ditches Koss, or he gets killed, and then Enterprise some how gets stranded after getting between the vulcans and the andorians and our favorite couple REJOICES! Yeah, I like that. Damn the VHC. I was a bit mad a T'Les for not thinking clearly, bringing her daughter and Archer (hahahahah, maybe not, hmmmm...) down into the Forge, and causing mayhem to come, but I gotta admit, I did like her. Hey, she's not the smartest vulcan to be heard of, but she's T'Pol's mommy. Commander Tucker and First Officer Soval! Me likes that! Yeah, let Archer lead that one vulcan left through the desert. Trip is certainly better. Well I dug this ep too, even with it's lack of T/T. But as I've been reviewing the end of season 3 - and now seeing season 4 - it seems this horrid theme of Archer being the saviour of the universe (ugh) is continuing. The guy doesn't need a bigger head as far as I'm concerned. Does a good captain really going romping around on missions to the middle of BFN and leave his ship in critical situations without it's Captain? Its a good thing Trip ROCKS THE UNIVERSE, or Enterprise would be toast. I definitely think he is a better captain than Archer. Anyhoo, it looks like OMT will get to do some universe-saving of his own this week so I'm happy. And Tim thanks for the delish T/T teaser... I hope its good! (P.S. can I join the LAC club?) i'm slowly picking up on this lingo thing, let me guess...OMT= Our Man Trip? ps. to TPTB which make this site: i love it!!! you have now been
officially added to my fav. list I see forshadowing with Sovel sitting in the science officer's chair. Who's with me? We want soval! we want soval! Imagine it, Captian Trip, Commander T'Pol and subcommander/science officer Soval! The perfect three! (well almost) Char, OMT is indeed Our Man Trip. Welcome to the club. :D Jenn, I totally agree with you. Just because I like Archer's character again (did for a while back in S1 and early S2) doesn't mean I like Super!Archer(tm). TP'D I wasn't in any way offended, so none taken, and I didn't mean to sound harsh, but sometimes I type faster english then my mind can make up the sentences, and greatings to my fellow dutch audiance overhere. An I the only one who thinks T'Pol has many similarities of face with Soval, enough to be his daughter? LOL, Sessy! Haven't you noticed "Soval's Annex" on this site? I thought Soval was T'Pol's father since Cease Fire! One of my biggest disappointments this season is that he isn't. What a waste. They made a great father and daughter! http://triptpolers.houseoftucker.com/soval/
ANyways my turn and still i find myself liking this episode. Still am annoyed with the amounth of 'to be continued' as they done it again. I mean can't they have an episode that ended on the episode they never had as many ' to be continued' before i donno something tells me they are rushing things and trying to put more in before the end... No Trip and T'pol moments so i am getting a bit antsy but still i liked this ep. To bad bout T'Les though she was nice, i didn't think they'd kill her so soon, now T'Pol has no one.....except Trip. They better get some alone time soon cos if they don't thats just not fair. Um i also liked Soval in this i have always liked they way he was. And i did think he secretly liked humans as well. Though is is just me or does anyone else think Mick Jagger when ever they see him? Hehehe seriously he looks alot like him....but without the massive mouth. Am i the only one? I also liked the little bit between Trip and Soval When Trip asked him
why he was doing all of this. "Trip wants to know why Soval is helping
them. The guy nearly smiled lol. Yeah so i still liked it but they need to pump up the trip/t'pol action now n quit with the so many 'to be continueds' Till next week English Chocolate, I know we found out in Home that Soval isn't T'Pol's father. As I wrote in my post, I was very disappointed to find out Soval isn't T'Pol's father. There are lots of mini-arcs this season. Well, T'Les DID say T'Pol's father was dead. But, even though Vulcans
NEVER lie, (unless it is logical to do so), she might mean "He is dead to
me because he went off to do his own thing and I got stuck here raising
this kid alone." Or she might say "His being dead is our cover story
because first he was a clandestine government agent undermining Andorian
colonies, and then he made himself an assassination target as a
WOW you'll have to love this episode isn't great i really love soval in this (HE ROCKS) Return to Image Gallery menu |
