Review of Twilight

As I've said before, I don't like Trip. He's abrasive, obnoxious and is always running his mouth when he should shut the hell up.

Most reviews here have recapped the episode, some scene by scene, so I won't do that. I'll just speak to what irked me. Other than this one thing, I loved the rest of the episode. It was well done all around.

So, towards the end of this episode, the fate of humanity rests on Dr. Phlox repairing the damage to Archer's brain, so that the timeline will be reset and give Enterprise a chance to catch the Xindi and hopefully never lose earth and billions of human beings.

But, no, Trip needs all the energy for a weapon that T'Pol points out, and Trip agrees, won't do any damn good anyway. His smartass remark about "can't just run up the white flag." makes zero sense considering they just explained that he wouldn't even need to worry about the impending battle if things go right with Archer's surgery.

But no, Trip still says no, stalks off, and the next scene we see the Enterprise is being shot to hell and the bridge is literally being blown off the ship.

Thanks for nothin' Trip...
