Hey I didn't say I liked or agreed with it. I don't why do you think I use that nifty thing that translates T-A-T-V into this *the_abomination*. The point was I don't see how anyone here can be a true canon fanatic and say *the_abomination* doesn't count, because it technically does.

Oh, it's simple


Aikiweezie, thanks for mentioning that story, it was really good!

Re: Harbinger, etc.
I've never actually seen *the_abomination*. I'm just finishing up the first season. I don't intend on ever seeing *the_abomination*, actually. I put it with all of the other canon I find ridiculous, out of my mind.

This is the way I look at it: it's canon for Riker. That episode was actually set in his here-and-now. The holographic recreation he was participating in, however, was based on 200-year-old events and therefore could've been full of errors and misinterpretations--one of those things where you never really know unless you were there. It could've even been a completely fictionalized account, like when you go see a movie that is tagged "Based On A True Story"--the core of the events follow reality to a point, but all kinds of things are changed for dramatic purposes, to make it more interesting to the viewer or to translate it better onto film/TV/hologram/whatever. So we don't really know what kind of "creative license" the creator of that holographic program took. The fact that everyone's so out of character could be "evidence" that the creators of the holographic program either didn't have their facts straight and were just guessing about a lot of stuff or that there was at least some embellishment going on despite the "facts", if one wished to believe that for the sake of being able to write fics where Trip didn't die and he and T'Pol get their "Happily Ever After" without having to write any kind of "fix" about how his death was faked/it was just a dream/it was really his evil twin/whatever.
So yeah, you're right, it's canon, but as far as "reality" goes, it has more to do with Riker's than it does TnT's. My feeling is, that was a TNG episode, not Enterprise, and what Riker saw in the 24th century has little to nothing to do with events I'm writing/imagining in the 22nd. My assumption is the authors/historians got it wrong, but that's Riker's problem, not TnT's.

Why does everyone blame Riker? What did he do wrong? Poor guy.

Who blamed Riker?? Nobody that I can see...
From my own perspective (and this is in my post), I have blamed the historians or authors or whomever wrote the holograph program he was watching for either fictionalizing events or for getting their facts wrong. I'm not sure how that would be Riker's fault...

Re: Harbinger, etc.
Ooops I didn't mean it literally. It's very early in the morning here I just woke up. Don't mind me, I was in love with every man on TNG except Picard and Worf at some point between the ages of 3 and 10. Riker lasted the longest.

I agree. And don't forget that if T & T continued their relationship (which was the intent from what I've read from Coto) they may have had to keep in tightly under wraps until the Terra Prime threat had passed. The writer of the holodeck program probably wouldn't have known that so many years later.

The only period I can imagine them becoming somewhat intimate again (before Bound) is after they get back from the Expanse and the Alien Nazi adventure, but before Home. However, I doubt they had any sexual relations then.
I disagree. Remember Trip's words to T'Pol when she tells him he could go to Vulcan with her.
And remember her - and his - face, too.
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four
And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Yes! And don't forget Trip's "What does your mother know about us?" line. Would someone actually say that about a one night stand? I don't think so!

Mmmm... I agree that they had a relationship that was developing in something meaningfull as seen in Home - but there are no indications of NP or an physical relationship in the show.
In that case, if T'Pol had said something about their intimate (physical for Vulcans) being in the past right after Terra Prime (and this is taken out of context in *the_abomination*), she was right. Doesn't say anything about what happened to them after Terra Prime.

Someone (sorry - forgot who) on the boards wrote before that they have an original script for Home and T & T kiss right before her mother comes in to the garden. They cut that out for some reason, but - I think there's enough implied evidence that it was NOT a one time thing.
Why would Trip be SO devastated when things went south if it was just "opps, we made a mistake, let's be friends and just go on with life!"? He couldn't stand to be around her anymore - so much so that he left Enterprise. That's HUGE. It seems to me that their relationship was far deeper than either of them realized and that's why the bond pulled them back together.

I do agree with you that their relationship is far deeper than either of them realized until it was too late, but maybe they would have taken it slow on the physical side. It was cause for problems after Harbinger. Maybe they are dating, looking for ways to develop their relationship. It would also make T'Pol decision to marry Koss somewhat less - I don't know the right word - illogical?

That in no way says to me that they were sleeping together at that point. I took it to mean that they were in the early dating phase. Maybe some kissing and perhaps even NP but nothing more. This was just after Storm Front and there wouldn't have been any time for them to take it any further. Had not Koss and Home happened they way it did, they would probably have gone down that path.
What happened after Bound is another question entirely.
She's got an awfully nice bum!
