Captain Johnathan Archer of the United Earth Starship Enterprise NX-01. Now let us all feed our Beagles cheese in praise of the founder of Starfleet and the Father of the Federation.

Now, now, its not the dog's fault that its master is a sociopathic moron.
Point. Let's feed Archer Chocolate Ex-Lax instead. Instant lobotomy.The Romulan Republic wrote: ↑2018-01-10 04:49pmNow, now, its not the dog's fault that its master is a sociopathic moron.
Just one episode where they fucked up what the PD meant (the writers). Left Archer and Phlox basically... wiping out a planet (or letting a planet be wiped out)...Ziggy Stardust wrote: ↑2018-01-10 11:25pm So, as someone who isn't super familiar with "Enterprise" other than vaguely remembering the broader plot points, what did Archer do that makes him a sociopathic moron?
You show 'em tough guy!
It clearly is because the reboots are shit as well, so the shitty writers writing them have decided to keep shitty characters because they resemble their own creations.
The Vulcans broke the treaty. Yes Earth were their allies but they were also not exclusively their allies. Vulcan attempts to fuck over Andorians were similar to those of Earth. Vulcans needed a punch in the nose.
This is not just an Archer thing, it's an Earth thing. Was United Earth ready? No. But that's the entire point. Even in TOS and TNG, humanity is "not ready" for this, time and again. Did Q's speech go un-noticed, in Q-Who?Or launching the Enterprise before it was ready because he wanted to show how big his dick was (though to be fair he did later admit that was a mistake. After his ship got its ass handed to it.)
I can't argue against that. But that's not his character, that's shitty writing. That wasn't Archer in and of himself. You can't take that episode and then expand that to all of Enterprise. It was one shitty episode with one misunderstanding (writers, producer, director?) on the PD.However, nothing beats Archer's lunacy in "A Night in Sickbay". That episode needs to be seen to be believed.
Glad to know that the fate of the Earth and the entire Federation rested in such safe hands![]()
