My issue with ENT is the treatment of female characters. It's not just T'Pol, but she definitely comes off worse. It's all pretty cringy watching it with 2023 eyes. That crap with the Doctor guilting T'Pol into sexy time Vulcan therapy with Tripp, for example. Urgh. Very much of the "FHM" era. That, and most (all?) the characters are unlikable. I've tried many times to watch it since the time but struggle with more than 1 or 2 episodes.
@rubikcuber @TeaHands I mostly remember Hoshi and her "am I really working with all these dumb children?" constant face. The rest were either someone randomly having to shower with T'Pol, or Rick Berman making T'Pol have anime falls over Archer (boobs to the face, etc). And Tripp being the most insufferable asshole always... I think the only things I liked from Enterprise were the opening (I know most people don't) and Hoshi.
You're not wrong, although I'm never sure which of Tripp or Merryweather was the most insufferable asshole.
Hoshi wasn't immune from anime treatment either. The time she dropped down from a ceiling vent, leaving her clothing snagged behind her was particularly egregious.
That moment was when the show lost me, it was ridiculous. It reminded me of those old Art Frahm pinup posters where they depicted, against all physics and plausible circumstance, a woman's underwear suddenly dropping down around her ankles from under her dress in public.
That episode with the mirror universe was really good.
