    That was a great read, thanks.

    Kinda surreal to read about disco without also reading about disappointment.

    Wildest part is how good it sounded at the time:

    “Things are at a fever pitch right now, I believe we can all agree. The devastation, the oppression, the genocide, the division around the world, I think it has reached a fever pitch, and I absolutely think that it’s causing people to lose hope in a lot of ways,” she says. “So yes, I think people are looking for something to hold onto, they’re reaching and grasping for glimmers wherever they may find them. It’s why I feel so honoured and blessed to be a storyteller, number one, and to be telling this story, because I believe it speaks to that. I believe seeing this utopian future, even with its challenges, is incredibly, incredibly hopeful and inspiring.”

    Because of the extremely common parlance “drop out of warp” I want to say it implies that the ship keeps moving afterward.

    When I run and carry my coffee it is “at warp” but when I stumble and drop it then it is no longer “at warp” but yet it still falls away from the point I dropped it.

    But when you drop an abstract there is no implication of movement; when I drop a bad habit it just ceases to exist.

    But since the ship still exists after dropping from warp, this is unlikely to be the intended meaning.

    Ergo ships drop from warp and that dropping imparts momentum/inertia to ships.

    Yes, we see TPol reading the new rediscovered teachings of Surak, demonstrating the spread in new ideas

    We also see the Vulcan ambassador standup for being a “deviant” and ultimately prevail, demonstrating a shift in attitudes.

    The Vulcan arc was one of the most strangely satisfying because:

    • It begins strong in the first 5 episodes or so (until Trip gives Tpol pecan pie)
    • Goes into the back burner for 2.5 seasons, except for random jabs at the Vulcan High Command
    • Goes into overdrive in S4 and shows us how these Vulcans become the ones we’ve come to know.

    Enterprise all the way.

    It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

    Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

    Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

    Highlights include:

    • Captain Archer feuding with Duras
    • Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
    • Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
    • Grapplers!

    Low points include:

    • Decontamination
    • Archer/Tpol tension
    • Cogenitor episode
    • The finale
