morpheus Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Watched the first episode of series 3 of Enterprise this week and although I enjoyed it (hopefully a sign of better things to come from what has been an only average series so far) I was totally sickened by the new levels of sexploitation of T'Pol. Jolene Blalock is a decent actress and deserves more than being trotted out to show off her body every other episode. The scene with her and Trip rubbing each other's 'neural nodes' (backs) was awful and did nothing for the episode's plot nor the integirty of the series as a whole. I really thought the show's producers would give us fans a bit more credit from now on, seeing as the unnecessary 'decontamination' scenes of previous years had failed to attract more viewers and, if anything, was driving more traditional Trekkies away. For me, Seven of Nine's cat suits were about as far as Star Trek should ever go down this gratuitous and Baywatch-esque path. And I thought that Vulcans really didn't like being touched too??

Moderators DavidB Posted January 8, 2004 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2004 I don't have problem with sex as long as it's not stuck in there for the hell of it, I think it's necessary for some story development but I think they're overdoing it and it becomes pointless sadly.

cordelia Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I read about what was going to happen to her character in the papers and was quite shocked as its so not her. To be honest i felt there was no point for that scene even happening.. already i can see a softening in her hair.. more make - up and different dress. So what are they trying to do with her?

morpheus Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 T'Pol wore three different outfits in that episode! Since when were Vulcans so vain?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok only one thing I have to say here - Jolene Balock is extremely fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpheus Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 It's patronising and an insult to viewers' intelligence is what it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martine Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 your asolutely right. i have nothing against sex in a tv show like star trek. as long as it is handled the right way and not in a 14 year old teenage boy kinda fantasy in a way to lure more viewers.

morpheus Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Well, let's just say that it has nothing to do with my long-standing fantasy about being trapped for 12 hours in a turbolift with Major Kira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
