Bound

Bound, aired April 15, 2005

Kevin Thomas Riley's review

Well, folks, it's over. Enterprise won't be renewed, and the Berman and Braga abonimation of a finale is what will stand forever as the end of Enterprise.

This episode was full of fun, but when I heard Manny Coto had taken another job I knew Enterprise would be no more. Sadly, Coto doesn't give Archer any dignity in this episode. The story? Well, Archer makes another of his incredibly lame-o-decisions to trust the alien of the week and to ignore Malcolm's sound advice. Archer is such a moron. And, as a result of yet another of his moronic decisions the ship is nearly destroyed. But Trip and T'Pol save the day!



Kelby's got serious attitude!


Trip tries to talk to Kelby, but that rogue engineer has closed down. Trip assures him Trip will be gone soon.

OK, I don't get this. Why does Trip say this, and then later say he asked Hernandez for a transfer? How many days have passed?


T'Pol enters the picture and senses trouble and comes to the rescue! Well, no, she doesn't, but it was a good thought!


T'Pol instead asks Trip if she can help...


...WITH HIS ENGINES!!!!! Sigh. T'Pol is so romantic!!!! {{{hearts}}} T'Pol has indeed accepted Trip's other love and is no longer threatened by those...engines.


Trip is more in love than ever. Yes. Hmm, I mean, with T'Pol, not his engines. Just to clarify. ....never mind....


T'Pol grabs the bull by the horns (heh, heh, heh) and asks, oh so logically, if Trip has been experiencing any unusual day dreams.


Daydreams that involve...T'Pol!


Uh, no! Nothing comes to mind.


T'Pol is most annoyed with her human. "Forget I mentioned it!"


Trip: "Have you been having day dreams about me?"

T'Pol: "It's not important."


Trip: "Are you going to tell me what this is about?"

T'Pol: "No."


Yada, yada, yada. Archer, The Idiot in Space, lets the orion slave women on board. What did our fearless leader learn from Rajiin? Duh. Nothing. Sigh.

Let's go with the show's strengths. Trip finds that Kelby is smitten, non-responsive, and confines him to quarters.


Trip doesn't want to admit that Archer has once again made a very stupid decision and allowed aliens to run amok on board. Trip, Archer is a fool! We need Soval on board to tell Archer that, in subsequent generations, the name of Archer will equal "fool!"

Actually, it means *fool* now, but Trip and T'Pol are too nice and have suppressed that so that The Fool won't know. Sigh. Trip and T'Pol, the two of you are too loyal.


Kelby has been seduced and fries Trip's engines! A fight! And Trip wins! But...his engines!


Archer is not pleased to find Trip and T'Pol are immune to the damn Orion women. Very funny scene with Trip staring down Archer!


Trip and T'Pol at work. Trip asks if the Orions really are after his engines...errr...after Enterprise.


Yes, but I'll protect your engines! I mean...Yes! The orions are after the ship!


Trip realizes that the fight to keep Enterprise safe will never end.


Trip breaks up a fight. The third in an hour! T'Pol is worried about Archer under the influence of these women - she knows Archer isn't the brightest man ever born. He doesn't even rate on any scale of intelligence. What is wrong with the man? Why does he have to be so stupid? GRRR!!!!

Trip, our intrepid hero, doesn't know why he is immune.


"T'is I, t'is I, I'm forced to admit, T'is I, I humbly reply, that Vulcan who not human can screw (except Trip)!...." T'Pol has left the building. Those lyrics were beneath her dignity. myst123 needs to stop being bitter about the news that Paramount has screwed Enterprise fans. Will myst123 become less bitter? Will Paramount regret their decision to screw Enterprise fans? Well, sadly, at this point, the answer is no to both questions. Moving right along...

Through the bond, T'Pol is protecting Trip. Hmm, will she be requiring payment for her protective services? Is this the new series to replace our beloved Enterprise! "T'Pol of the Vulcan Mafia?" Is that what we have come to? (Probably.)


Trip tells Trip that when Vulcans mate, there is a belief that a psychic bond is created. "We didn't mate!" Trip avows emphatically.

Hmm. What is Trip's interprteation of the word "mate," and what is T'Pol's? Does Trip believe they *made love?* *Had sex?* The first on who accurately defines Trip's interpetation of the Vulcan concept of the term "mating" wins!


"Uh, huh."


What the hell is a psychic bond?

Images, thought, a grocery list, you name it! And Trip forgot the milk last week, so clearly Trip and T'Pol aren't...TRULY BONDED!!!! Gasp!


Trip foolishly lets slip he has had...daydreams...about his T'Pol. And he prevaricated. AKA, he lied. T'Pol is shocked!


Trip admits he told an untruth when he said he had not had T'Pol-centered daydreams.





So, if they are bonded (Trip rolls his eyes to indicate these Vulcans test him!), what does this have to do with Trip not being affected by the orions?


T'Pol is immune, and therefore Trip is immune.


Trip: "I don't know whether to be relieved or...reeeaallllyyyyy worried." :D


Trip and T'Pol working together again!


The ship has been grappled by the orions and is being tugged who knows where. And the crew says collectively: "Thanks, Archer! What a guy!" Or...maybe not. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Trip and T'Pol are searching for a way to save Enterprise. Trip and T'Pol realize they are the ones who really care about Enterprise, and will save her. T'Pol turns and looks at Trip...


and Trip look back and says: "You seeing what I'm seeing? "

T'Pol: His grappler's directly above our main deflector relay.

And Trip responds:

Trip: Get up to the bridge. I'll be right behind you.

T'Pol knows immediately what Trip has seen and why it is important, and how they can get detached from the orion ship.



T'Pol leaves, goes to the bridge, and, after telling Archer what they will do she contacts Trip and says: "Engineering." He replies, "I've almost got it." But they never talked about what they were going to do! They appear to be reading each other's mind!



Trip arrives! A Vulcan look of Love.


Trip stuns Malcolm, Archer, and Travis. And still has time to appreciate T'Pol.


The orion chick tries to control Trip, but Trip is already spoken for. The orion women never figure Trip out!


*Get a life! I mean, Archer is the...captain. He is no Engineer!*

Gag that Trip had to admit that Kelby was an engineer. What a black mark on the profession!


Yes! Trip and T'Pol are on the same page. Nix those orion broads!


In sickbay. Archer says he won't have Trip arrested for shooting a superior officer.


T'Pol cracks a joke. While Archer and Malcolm absorb this fact, Trip and T'Pol share a moment. Archer tells T'Pol if he didn't know better he'd think she was picking up some of Trip's bad habits. Little does Archer know! Heh, heh, heh. Love it!


Trip knows T'Pol has tapped into his sense of humor.


The scene in the corridor is lovely! Trip leads and T'Pol observes.

Trip: I guess we proved it again."
T'Pol: Proved what?"
Trip: "That you and I are a helluva team."


T'Pol takes the lead!

T'Pol: "We do seem to work well together"
Trip: "Even more now that we're in each other's heads."
T'Pol: "You're returning to Columbia?"
Trip: "I imagine Captain Hernandez is pretty anxious to have her chief engineer back."
T'Pol: "There's still numerous repairs to be carried out."
Trip tells T'Pol that Kelby can handle things.



Trip: "Why don't you just say it?"
T'Pol: "Say what?"


Trip: "That you want me to come back."


T'Pol: I believe I did. I believe your presence here would be extremely beneficial to our operations."





Trip: "No! That you want me back."
T'Pol: "I don't know what you mean."



Trip: "My mistake. See you around."


T'Pol: "Wait!" T'Pol gives the trademark Trip eye roll. "TRRRRIPPP!!!!"


"I want you to come back."


Trip: "I'll think about it."
T'Pol: "TTTRRRIIIPPPPP!!!!"

















Husky-voiced Trip says that three days ago he told Captain Hernandez he wanted a transfer back to Enterprise. (I don't get this. He told Kelby he wasn't trying to come back to Enterprise, so what is going on?)





T'Pol: "Three days ago?"


"I realized that this is where I was meant to be. And that this thing between us...?


...isn't that big a deal."
T'Pol: "Agreed."


Trip: "Guess we've got a lot of work to do."






A whole mess of folks have made comments

EEEEE!!!!

Wow... I can't wait for the comments. I won't get to see "Bound" for another couple days... and I'd love to know what's been going on!!!!

I second that "EEEEEEEEEEE".

Yay! She *finally* said it!

EEEEE me to. So you guys take it as she wants to continue the relationship?? cause that is what I got from it. IT was good.

I am so confused. This relationship is so... WOAH! It's just really hard to keep up!
(On the other hand, why complain?)

Count me in on the EEEEEEE!
Plus, i agree with Bex, the relationship is a bit weird, but thats how i like it!
Plus, did any of you's wonder what that mark was on trip's left cheek????

that mark on his cheek i wondered about at first, it's where Kelby clocked him, big bruise

Loved her expession at the end. It was priceles! The next ep. "mirror, darkly" will hold some interesting eye candy - a long haired version of TPol. But eewww!.....a slave too? I hope not. I hope I don't have to suffer through more delays in their relationship. I rather enjoyed snippets of their ongoing banter. Oh, and gimme another 'daydream' please.

orian slave girls art HOT:D

Wow! You're quick! Can't wait for the comments. I MISSED the episode. Someone in my family messed with the VCR and when I came home from working a late shift, no story (*sob*). I'll get to tape it on Sunday, but I look foward to your comments.

Thanks Myst... that was superfast!
I can't wait for your comments...
one question: I had the impression that there's a bruise on Trip's face. Is that so?

What a great Ep!

Very funny and great T/T there :D

Enterprise is getting better and better. It's so sad that it'll all end in a few weeks :(

Greatest episode for T\T ever!...and wonderful pics!

Wow!!!
Thanks for the quick screencaps!
Hopefully I will get to see the ep today or tomorrow...

EEEEEEEiiiii, they did it, they did it!!!!!!!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEE^2

Coolest ending ever. Loved how Trip is the player now, instead of the toy.

This episode was sooo awesome!!! It was so Trip T'Pol. I hope that it all starts to work out like this.

Perfect! I was imagining a much more angsty sad Trip for this episode. I loved the way turned things around on Polly. Definitely not the toy anymore.

Hey

Can't wait to get comments from you, I'd like to know what's happened in this ep. I live in Germany, so I couldn't watch it. Please tell me

Miriam

AWESOME!!!! THEY FINALLY CAME TO THEIR SENSES.. well... hopefully.
Can't wait for the comments.

Looked at the pics a third time. Looks like you added/deleted some? I guess we'll have to wait and see how you're going about this. I can't wait until Sunday to see it for my self. I hope I can tape it w/o interference this time.

Okay, I'm not saying EEEEEEE because it's been on this webpage too much. But I loved the fight between Trip and Kelby with Trip coming off the winner, I loved the TnT interaction, and WAHOOOO, loved the kiss! Way to go. My new favorite episode, except for those green women!
Energy

Yes, I did add some pictures, and I did delete a couple and added some that were similar but I thought showed their interactions better.

oh my god they are so married, i loved i am going to wait to see it again on sunday i also taped it too, i can't wait, , they love each other so much.

EEEEEE!! It's about time! WE HAVE GOT TO GET A FIFTH SEASON!! Aaaggghhh! I can't live without Enterprise, it just getting really, really good! I loved this episode...definately one of my favorites. I think I'll write to David Stapf at Paramount right now! GO TREKUNITED!

Oh, I forgot to type my name. That last post was from me. Aloha.

why only one kisses, it is not enough !

thanks for the caps... at least we can see those.. It'll probably be a year till we're (in Germany) are able to see it.. :-(.. and for the kiss.. yay..*jumping up and down, jumping up and down, jumping up and down, jumping up and down* ROFL

Still wanna' know where a nice Vulcan girl learned to kiss like that!

THIS EPISODE ROCKED!!!!!!!!
LOVE THE INTERACTION BETWEEN T/TPOL.
LOVED TPOLS EXPRESSIONS, FINALLY A GLIMPSE OF HER FEELINGS FOR TRIP SHOWING.
I CANT BELEIVE THEY ARE CANCELING THE SERIES, JUST WHEN ITS GETTING REALLY GOOD!
GO TREKUNITED!

anyone notice the pink lipstick t'pol's got goin' on all of a sudden? trying to get noticed... ;-)

With an inspection, Trip finally observes relationship. So, they're already romantic? t'pol reads excellent kirshara: first everyone doesn't even really act too interested, once nobody sees the aftereffects. Really! Trip isn't not going for a long-term love 2007.

Oh man.....you got em all! The eye roll.....the KISS....that sexy bruise....I can't wait to see this one.

I bet T'Pol borrowed the pink lip gloss from Malcolm! LOL *winks*

Thanks for the caps....so FAST.

excellent captions so quick. can't wait for the comments.

Yes...Yes! Jumping up and down too...LOL! I really enjoyed T'pols expressions too, especially that exasperated sigh she gave when she knew there was no other way than to say how she feels to Trip. Also, Tpols always had a wry sense of humor uncharacteristic of Vulcan's but now I enjoy seeing it a little more pronounced.

It was funny to see that even Dr.Phlox was a little unhinged and disheveled by the Orions, usually he's so calm and unflapable.

aw what the hell...EEEEEE!.....waiting for little comments! :o)

Hey, Andrea in Germany the DVD for season 4 should be out in Novenber if I remember correctly. I think I saw that on startrek.com. If so, you won't have to wait a year to see it...only several more months. I'll definately be buying all the DVD's myself. Well, hope that helps. Aloha.

The caps are everything I'd hoped for. So gorgeous. This episode was the icing on the cake in terms of my Trip and T'Pol hopes and dreams. It took lots for T'Pol to admit she wanted Trip to come back, and when he told her he'd put in for his transfer back to Ent. days before, my heart melted for the pair of them. They've put their feelings for each other sort of out there, and whatever else we see is gravy.

I second that 'Go TrekUnited,' but whether there's more show or no, Trip and T'Pol live on because their love takes a lickin' and keeps right on tickin'. You go, Trip and T'Pol--we'll love ya forever!

Trip says he asked for the transfer back to Enterprise "three days ago." T'Pol went through three outfits in this ep. She started with red, moved to purple, then we see blue. Does that cover the 3 days? And what does it mean that he made the decision when she was wearing red, before he knew about the bond?

I guess it means he loves her regardless and she looks pretty damn good in red!!! :)

I can't wait to download this ep!

The episode wasn't that great but the T/T scenes were awesome!!!!!!!! I love the pictures!! Great job:):)

Ha! What great T/T stuff! :)

I can't wait for the captions. Man there were just too many wonderful T'Pol facial expressions to include this week!

Daaaamn!! These are FABoulous!!! These totally rock, Myst!!

Heh heh, I love that there are only 2 pictures with the Orion girls in them. We know whats really important about this episode!! ;)

I love the cap where Archer and Malcolm are discussing the joke, but Trip and T'Pol only have eyes for each other.... > ahhhh

And for the love of pete, when a woman kisses you, wrap your arms around her man!

Totally rocked! Boo yeah! Loved it! Swee--eet! Great Episode! Great pics too! :)

A truly great episode. I especially like the part right after T'pol makes the comment that if she makes a joke that they'll know about it. Right after she delivers that line her eyed widen as she realizes that she just said something that you would expect Trip to say.

OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!! This is great!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!! I keep watching over and over, and when it finishes i feel so good that i have to watch it again!!!!! Great captions myst! OH MY GOD, i have to go watch it again!!! P.s. can't wait for the comments!!! Hehehe she's picking up on his habits, and he's staying, which means more Trip T'pol action comming up!!! WOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, i loved the bit in engineering when Trip goes "We didn't mate" and T'pol goes "Yah!", like whatever you reakon! Was that a Polly thing to say...? I don't think so!!! :D
Best Episode EVER EVER EVER!!!

...And in the sickbay scene, when T'Pol cracks a joke, Awww... she really is starting to pick up his bad habits! It's just their litte secret. Archer doesn't know how knowing he can be!!!! Hehehe

Anyone notice that Trip's patch is Columbia's patch? Irrelevant now, but interesting none the less. :) Thanks for the great caps Myst!

yes thanks again for caps myst. One question could you guys tell who was shocking "TRIP" in the previews for the next episode. God I can't even count how many times I watched that part!

Shocking?

can anyone tell me why this kelby and trip had this little fight??

so t'pol said she wanted trip back on enterprise?wow

please, more details

Because Kelby tried to blow up Enterprise ;)

Funny to read those comments.
You guys made me anxious to see this ep.

Seems to me those two are getting along just fine. Guess Coto did a good job at writing the script.

Only one thing bothered me - why would security assign male guards to the Orion slaves knowing about the pheromone issue? could they not have used closed circuit survelliance? okay - suspension of disbelief :).
Of course, still LOVED the TnT interaction! :)

Very nice pics, specially the kiss.

EDIT: Trippy, remember to put spoiler space for new about upcoming eps! Thanks. --myst123

yeah Anne .D. he was in a "Cage"I guess and "Trip" says something like "I am so going to hurt you when I get out of here" or something like that, and then "Trip" get's shocked or something Like that. It looked like it was "Archer" but it could be somebody else. Oh thanks for the picture It's so cute isn't it??

Trip says to Archer "I'll kill you when I get out of this". Archer then order Phlox (I think) to "Break him!" (i.e. torture him until he breaks down).

I'm hoping that the shot of T'pol walking down the hall with a gun is one in which she's on her way to resucue Trip. =D

amen Amandakim on your last thing. Thanks for confirming what I thought. Sheesh I wonder why "Archer" is torturing Trip. *Sigh* just have to wait until Friday.

Very good episode... loved the T/T moments
Couldn't help notice that this episode was a bit chauvinistic.

Great captions! Hee. :)

myst123, I think that Trip asked for the transfer after he had that argument with Kelby and after T'Pol brought up the daydreams. Between Kelby saying that Archer wasn't ready to let Trip go and T'Pol clueing him in on the daydreams, he may have finally got it in his head that he belonged on Enterprise.

wowwwww amazing episode. their relationship is still sketchy but it's headed in the right direction.

to T'mar's comment above me, i have to disagree. t'pol was very nonchalant about their relationship back in harbinger. Trip had to have a comeback. and the orion slave girls did in fact turn out to be the major players in the end!

it was really funny to see Malcolm's reaction. our normally calm, collected Brit was gaga over those green-skinned prostitutes!

once again, T'Pol takes on the role of mama of the flock, carefully protecting her Captain and friend from himself. her concern for him when he came onto the bridge after the scene with the orion chick suggests she considers him to be like a brother.

Some great Trip moments too. Like when he beat the h@!! out of Kelby. that was funny!! The @$$ deserved it!!

And the whole "Trip-to-the-rescue"...again Trip saves Archer's @$$. When is our mo Capitan going to learn? I think he needs for Q to teach him a lesson since experience obviously doesn't teach him anything!

And the scene in Sickbay was SOO funny. The look on first Malcolm's face then on Archer's when T'Pol made that joke was priceless!!

And then the moment where Archer chided T'Pol saying she might be picking up some of Trip's habits...LOL! Trip, the ever-obedient Thy'la, turns away under the intensity of T'Pol's glare.

Then, last but not least, the corridor. Once again, our heroes have saved Archer's @$$. They really do make a great team. And the kiss...I was jumping up and down squealing! And the look on T'Pol's face when Trip told her he'd requested a transfer back to Enterprise 3 days ago...LOL! Priceless!! I really hope they admit they love each other within the next five eps!!!

PS--I know my comments are long, but i like to recap my opinion on all the twists I like.

PSS--Thanks for the caps! :D

PSSS-- My opinion on the transfer theory...Trip had been close to making the decision to transfer back even w/o Kelby and T'Pol. The scenes with them just gave him the final push he needed.

Finally, at last!

If only Trip would put his arms around her, this episode would have been perfect.

Wow. This episode is just...WOW.

Whoooopieeeeeeeeee, it's rocking, this gets me trough a bad week, namly the fact that we were watching season 4 and when the last episode aired they said, enterprise will not be returning until september. Thank god I have this site, so I know they finally together. Bummer, no fifth season...it really gets me pissed, those stupid paramount/upn or whatever...money makes the world go round, we fans have bought so much over these past years and this is how they repay us.. cancellation,blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I love this show !This week show was great !!!
love this web site may it last manny years to come !!!!

I'm from Australia and won't be seeing this episode for a year! :-( ... does anyone know where you can download the last part of the episode between Trip & T'pol?

Thanks for the fantastic caps and comments, myst! You're the best! I love that you captured that scene in sickbay when Archer tries to figure out why Trip is immune. I laughed out loud there.

As for the three days, Navaar (?) told Archer she'd already been his property for two days when the good captain went to visit her. And with T'Pol's wardrobe change, I think that confirms that at least three days had passed. I don't think Trip was fibbing when he told Kelby he'd be leaving. I think he just hadn't made up his mind yet that Enterprise was where he belonged. Heck, he probably figured he had to stick around to keep Archer out of trouble so the captain could go on to help form the Federation. ::rolls eyes::

Anyway, thanks again!

whooopieeeeeeeeeeeeee, finally and that took 4 seasons, image how long it will take for them to get married (I am just not watching the last episode) it will take them another four years, so even if we did get a 5, 6 or 7th season, it will take them much longer. hahahahahaha she laught like a farmer who has to go to the dentist, stupid paramount

attention:spoiler

but as I've heard Trip is going to die!! I've also seen a pic from terra prime where he lies on the floor, as it seems seriously hurt and Archer bending over him... so I think they'll get married earlier. especially now that T'pol has made a step towards him!

thx for the comments, now I know all I have to know bout this ep! I can't wait to watch it next year when it will come in Germany!!

The last scene T'Pol uses a vulcan raised eyebrow like Spock uses to do is so cool. Her way of doing it might even be better.

T'Pol had to use her own 'powers' to get her man!
Poor her and Trip toying with her. She's the wildest vulcan out there and you think she's shy? C'mon give the gal a break and be the gentleman you can be.

okay miriam, where did you find that picture?? could you post it??

When I said chauvinistic I meant the writers, not the two carachters in particular.
Women were pratically useless in this episode,exception being T'pol.
It seemed to me that the writers portraited women as fragile, just took a migrane and to put them out of business, no security guard were females and so on
:-)

Hey, Just wondering. Did anyone notice that in picture "15a" Trip's patch is Columbia, however, in picture "37" he is wearing Enterprise's patch? Interesting...
Oh, elctigers, the address is http://www.scifiuniverse.net/episodes/enterprise/season4/097/pic2.jpg and it's called "trip is seriously wounded", but he can't die cos credited for the last episode.

Having heard about TnT having a part in this episode, I was waiting for all the scenes with the green women to go away while I watched, although, it took me a bit to figure out why Archer was so uncharacteristically wrapped up in the Orions' spell. It also took me a while to realize Trip wasn't affected... was kinda funny as I was watching it a second time with my husband who hadn't seen it. He's like, "Trip's immune to their spell!" or something regarding his connection to T'Pol. Knowing there was no way he could've known that much so early in the episode, I frowned at him and said, "How did you know?" He's like, "Uh.. I was kidding. Is he really?"

I've loved reading everyone's comments about this episode... they're all full of excitement! :D I totally didn't catch some of the details people posted, like TnT's shared looks while they stood in Sickbay talking about T'Pol's joke, or T'Pol rolling her eyes in the hallway at the end. I loved how T'Pol finally got tired of doing things the Vulcan way by shrouding her true feelings and expecting him to be fine with it. Finally, she realizes she must admit to him the truth, and uses his nickname twice... And dang it, you're right, what was Trip thinking by not embracing her? Heh heh heh... probably not much as he was being suddenly kissed. I didn't expect it, even though my husband totally called it... yet again >_<

And myst123 is so right... they DIDN'T talk about what they were going to do with the deflector relay, so they MUST have shared thoughts!

That sure was the yummiest kiss ever. *sigh*

I agree with b?? above, I think Trip asked for the transfer after his first tiff with Kelby & T'pol asked him about the day dreams. It might be possible that it was even after Kelby let the Orian chick stroll around engineering & put his baby at risk. IF that happened shortly after breakfast & he asked for his transfer in the afternoon the time can fit.

As for why they allowed male guards to oversee the Orions...they were placed in the decon chamber. It should have been set up so that all biological & chemical agents were contained. The fact that Archer turned into an instant lap dog should have resulted in some changes ...as for close circuit TV's, that would have been too logical.

SPOILER...


I was looking at the episode after from terra prime.. maybe he dies six years in the future. maybe he dies in the middle of the one after terra prime. cause the last one says
"Six years in the future" so that looks promising.. and a baby yeah.. maybe they decide to have one that would be sweet!!!
I can't wait until Friday.. Thankfully I don't have till 11:15 the next days so I can watch Bound Again!! Yeah!!

Everyone's comments are really fun to read...but the thing that made me laugh the most in this episode is the way Trip says "Guess we got a lot of work to do.." He was so cute how he said that...course, I'm wondering now if he means just the ship's repairs or their relationship as well.

Yeah, Trip's "Guess we got a lot of work to do..." Sounded too playful to just be refering to the engines, or the ship...
By-the-by... Does anyone know how long the Vulcan gestation period is?... Just curious...

When Trip says, "This thing between us isn't that big a deal," is he belittling their relationship? I'm not sure how to interpret that line.

I don't know about the rest of you commentors, but I went over to the boards at television without pity, and MAN are those people asinine. "Misogyny" this and "homophobe" that. Anyway, they're going off on how this scene rips off Star Wars. I don't know what their problem is, because frankly I was rather touched by this scene. I haven't seen any other episode except the very first one, and that final scene INSTANTLY made me a trip/t'pol shipper and made me willing to give up a freakin' kidney to get a couple more years of that story.

This is amazing. I don*t really understand what's going on, but I like it.
Greetz

Woah. This is all to much. I didn*t see the episode and I actually don*t understand a thing. It is very .. confusing. Would anyone be so kind to tell me why the hell T'Pol kissed Trip? I mean, I liked it very much but I don*t know why she did it? Please don't think I'm stupid, but ... Without seeing all this I don't think I will get it!
All I know is that I'm happy and confused. Being happy feels good, but being confused ... it's bothering me a little. Could anyone help me out of this?

OMG
I cant wait to watch this
stupid british delay


Oh she kissed trip, because he was going to leave, and she could only think of one way to stop him from going. So how long is the vulcan gestation period. This is the beginning of there relationship. great screencaps loved, keep up the good work. Let everyone pray they get married, right ?

About that deflector array scene.
Trip litterally said 'do you think the same thing as I do?' Which I think is very nicely intertwined with both storylines.

About that 'This thing between us isn't that big a deal'. I just think it's Trip saying that he knew he pushed her to say things Vulcans normally don't. But he uses this understatement since Vulcans aren't that direct. But he knows she will interpret is as being a very strong gesture made for a Vulcan. Suppose she also realizes his meaning playfull manner.

And in a way, the whole of season 4 is sorta compressed in that hallway kissing scene.
Trip getting frustrated about the subtile responses of T'Pol. And T'Pol having to cope with her feelings (without her trillium addiction) for Trip. And not having to say 'I'ts agreeable to see you' to your husband, but 'I want you to come back'. (Cuz I'm smittens)

Great episode....I am so hooked on the Trip/Tpol thing that waiting for the next episode is killing me. If the writiers would only let us have what we want....more interaction between the two. Enuff of the "come here...no get away" games with these two....Gawd that is frustrating

you know, I just watched the preview again, and I noticed that "Trip" sounded really weird. I don't know but he sounded drifferent. hmm. I just got maybe Connor just used his regular voice instead. Becuase doesn't Connor put on that accent for the show?? because i know for a fact he was born in Washington. well, maybe it was just me.

i just want to say thank you for the pics and storyline as this episode got bumped for baseball and i couldn't find a replay-thanks for the fix!

I'm just afraid that when Trip says, "this thing between us isn't that big a deal", he means that he isn't going to take the relationship too seriously. See, that's the opposite of what I wanted him to say. He should have been like, "You want me back? Damn straight. Guess what? I already made the decision, because I wanted to come back. To you." You know, something along those lines. But I guess he DID make her say that she wanted him, so he's not going to ignore the relationship...oh, the miscommunication.

Oh, there's so much to say, but a lot's already been said, doesn't need repeating...

But I particularly loved T'Pol's facial expression as she said "I want you to come back"; difficult to see in a single pic frame....you have to watch it. It's like she's finally surrendering, and kind of a look of relief as she does...almost a smile...ALMOST...

Oh yea, I didn't care for the pink lipstick.

I just watched the episode tonight (I'm in the Philippines, watched it with my fellow Star Trek Club members), and I couldn't help myself but to run home and visit your page just to see your view on this... and oh hell, I can't agree more with what all these people said.

This is the best T'RIPOL episode yet!!!!! It gets better and better. I'll be thinking about this for a whole week, until next wednesday for the next ep.

Ahhhhh ... Vulcan Imzadi. (The elated feeling I have reminds me of my days being a Jetcer, even if I still am one)

I cannot thank you enough for building a site like this. MWAH! :-<> Ü

I don't think he is belittling their relation or something like that. as somebody already said he's no longer the toy but the player. t'pol said once they only had sexual experience because she wanted to try out human sexuality (don't know how to translate this better from german into good english) then this thing with the day dreams and so on, t'pol was hiding her feelings to him. I think he's now doing the same thing to her, perhaps to make clear how such words feel or something like that. but I don't think he's not taking the relation seriously

I don't know if I'm right cos I wasn't able to watch it but I would make sense. Especially because today I saw an episode of another American series (Boston Public) where exactly this thing is going on between two of the teachers (Jeri Ryan and I-don't-know-what's-his-name. So I think this could be the explanation.


PS. Also best wishes from Germany

I belive next ep will be in a dark alternate universe. I don't think there will be evolution in TT story. Anyway this is a great episode especially because it remarks how we (the MAN) are only strile drone in front of the power of the woman...

I found this caption under a picture in www.scifiuniverse.net "TPol and Trip share a poignant moment." What "poignant" exactly mean in american?

Believe it or not, Nick, it means "profoundly moving" or "touching". Just a nice, intimate moment between the 2 of them.

I've heard that "In A Mirror, Darkly" is not only about the crew from the dark alternate universe but also about "our" crew. The alternate crew is also changing "our" crew's uniforms, I think the uniforms from the episodes "Demons" and "Terra Prime".

I also read thatmost of the main character men are going to be in red shirts. mmm yummy.

I hope do it rigth this time. T'Pol and Trip have a baby, but T'Pol say that she never was pregnants. All is a genetical experiment (sorry, I don't know if It's the correct expresion). I found too, a picture where are Trip and T'Pol in These are the voyages... So, Trip doesn't died.

Hi, everyone,

Please remember to put spoiler space when discussing upcoming episodes. Thanks.

Hi there. I loved the Trip-T'pol moments of this episode. I hope that their relationship finally goes somewhere. I want a happy ending for the two. I'm not excited about the series finale but I'm excited about the Trip-T'pol relationship.

I'm sad that the show is ending. I'm even more sad that we can't see any more Trip-T'pol scenes. I hope someone writes a really good Enterprise novel with lots of Trip-T'pol moments. Kind of like the ST TNG novel Imzadi which had lots of Riker-Troi moments.

Even if we won't be seeing any Enterprise eps, I hope we'll be reading about it. I'm surely going to patronize the upcoming Enterprise novels.

Anyway, I can't help but comment about the nice Trip-T'pol kiss. It sure looks like a very wet kiss to me with the way that Trip is wiping his lips after their romantic kiss. They better be showing more wet kisses on the finale.

I love this episode it was one of the best T&T
moments. Trip&T'Pol Forever!!!!!!!

i love the look he gives in response to her query about the day dreams: "Uh, no. Nothing comes to mind."

I LOVE THIS EPISODE IT WAS THE GREATEST .
BUT WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH TRIP AND T'POL
HAVING A BABY ? DID NOT SPOCK'S PARENT HAVE HIM !
HE WAS HALF-HUMAN&VULCAN ! SO WHY CAN'T THEY DO THE SAME!

Sorry I'm four weeks behind, but I had to mention that this ep is just delicious. Knowing that the final ep is going to be mostly about Riker and Troi makes this even more bittersweet. TV Guide's sinop for the final ep is scary, to say the least. Let's hope if anyone dies it's Travis...so I can finally come out of my coma having to watch him onscreen.

finally they kiss! But was Trip saying that he didn't think the relationship was big!

aaa..why can't they both sit down and tell each other that they are in love. It's that simple! Why deny what's clearly there! When trip is trying to continue the relation tpol uisn't, when tpol is trip isn't! This is so confusing.

i love this episode the best one i'v seen so far yeeeeeeeeeeee yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee yyyyyyyyyeeeeeee
!!!!!!!!

wow wow wow i love this one my best yet anyone agree so do you think trip and t'pol should be together forever PLEASE SAY!!!!!!!!

im on this website every two hours is just really great also t'pol and trip belong together they just rock.!!

> Trip says that three days ago he told
> Captain Hernandez he wanted a transfer
> back to Enterprise. (I don't get this.
> He told Kelby he wasn't trying to come
> back to Enterprise, so what is going on?)
Trip is clearly lying to save face, of course if he had put in for a transfer T'Pol would already know about it and Trip wouldn't have told Kelby that he would be gone soon. This CLEAR lie puts the whole "No big thing" staement into a context where it clearly means the opposite! But his lies allow T'Pol space if needed, nice since he just pushed her off a high ledge!

OH MY GOSH!!! she finally said she loved him!! EEEEE oh my gosh i was screaming so excited oh he's so sweet.. and smart lol.. ahh yessssss
