Trip and T'Pol's future in the relaunch novels - Your Though

[CX]

How? Staying on Enterprise, fighting the good fight with Archer and crew, while the books catalogue Trip's adventures behind enemy lines. I'm not saying T'Pol turns into a housewife, but remains strong and Vulcan while battling the Romulans, waiting for Trip's return.

The woman staying behind and waiting for the man to return aspect of it.

Forgive me. I didn't see it as staying behind, as remaining where she is. Her place on Enterprise will put her in the thick of the Earth/Romulan war, just as much as Trip, just in a different setting. Yes, in a way, she's staying home, but home is a starship that gets into heroic and dangerous situations on a near weakly basis, and is going into war soon.

Your milage may vary. I just see it as one more thing in the long list of things. I mean, yeah, she's on Enterprise and I'm sure the wuthors and most people would say what you have about it, but the way I see it, it's closer to that classic Homeric description from an earlier post. Trip is off on the epic advernture, far from home, friends, and family, and T'Pol is still "home" on Enterprise, among her friends and the only "family" she really has left.

I'm sure she'll manage to kick some Romulan butt while she's "waiting." I didn't mean to make a straight comparison to Penelope (hmm...T'pol fending off hordes of suitors...food for thought)
I meant Homeric in the sense of epic saga. As when Barry Fitzgerald uses the term in The Quiet Man.

Hmmm ,maybe Mike the new engineer tries to make a move on her as he encourages her "Call me Mike " and smiles

I like to think it's just a device to give him a longer life span so he'll be an even more suitable mate for T'Pol "once this Romulan business is over." I mean, what better reason could there be?

I tend to agree with this analysis. Once this Romulan business is over, they'll have been through hell for 7 years. For dramatic purposes, it would seem high time to let them live a long and happy life together.

Exactly. Although personally I don't care how they do it, to me Trip and T'Pol should have a shot at growing old together, not him dying and her growing old alone. However, for me, the explanation has to be believable, and this is.

I also like the aspect that he has to go on this heroic quest for six or seven years in order to earn that future, while she must remain equally strong and noble 'at home', very classical, very romantic, great potential for a real epic IMHO.

Angst! Angst! Angst!
Hope! Hope! Hope!

Hope for a future together. Hope for a life together. Hope that you are grant to two truer characters of the fiction of to do that for that they are born: to be together, hope for a future of union between the peoples.

I have enough of this.
I refuse that.

Those hands intertwined at the conclusion of “Terra Prime” promised quite other.
I not love, I already said it and I repeat it, a story that takes for true the absurd of the abomination, to do relaunch Enterprise, in even more absurd manner.
Of course, I admit that. I am a lover of Trip and T’Pol and not all are lovers of Trip and T’Pol. But I think that a lot of peoples have thought that “The abomination” was what is: THE ABOMINATION.
And then a lot of peoples hoped that finally a remedy was found.
In my opinion the remedy is worse of the damage.

In “Trip-T'Polers, A Trip and T’Pol Shipper's Site" first and in "Triaxian Silk" after, I found other possible futures, much more attractive and credible. I am not a writer and I little know the English language, but I want to thank the authors, all, that make dream me, without angst.

[blacknblue]

Me too. You are welcome.

Well, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to hold that opinion.
