Topic	Eight Board-Eighters Rank Star Trek Characters
Anagram 01/19/20 1:11:43 PM #100:	40. Charles Tucker Hoooooooooooo-wee! Can I just say that Trips rank is Commander, and TPols rank is Subcommander, but she outranks him? What the hell is that? Im going to level with you: I watched Enterprise once when I was nineteen. Ive rewatched a few episodes here and there since, but for the most part, my memory of some of it is very hazy. But I remember Trip pretty well. The dude can be summed up as I have to maintain the most complicated machine ever built, but Im a redneck who doesnt know anything. ENT was consciously trying to emulate the Kirk/Spock/McCoy dynamic, with Trip taking the role of McCoy. As you expect, this goes off without a hitch, and Trip is universally considered to be one of the strongest and most developed characters on any science-fiction show, not just Star Trek. I refuse to believe TPol could find anything attractive about this man. I rewatched a bit of ENT a few months ago, got to the part where they have to strip down to their underwear and massage each other with anti-radiation gel, and was like this is the most dated thing ever. The most memorable Trip moment to me came in the crossover with 24, when Trip travels back in time, becomes a security guard, and terrorists are going to kill him. Jack Bauer has to choose between saving him and alerting the other terrorists that theyre under attack, or letting him die and ensuring his own mission will be a success. Of course, having already watched Star Trek, we the audience know that Jack will save Trip, and so he does. No, seriously, whose idea was it to kill Trip in the final episode? An episode so horrendous that every reference to it since then has been to retcon it? Even the actors and director admitted it was a mistake. I dont like Trip, but I dont hate him, either. At least when Yar dies to a random bad guy, hes like a manifestation of hatred and effectively rules a planet or whatever. Trip goes down to ordinary thieves. And like hes dying on the doctors table and Phlox is like hes been burned too badly to save but most of his skin is clearly just fine, hes just got some blood on his jaw, hell clearly be okay. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
