    This was a weirdly progressive ep of Enterprise. Main plot was “T’Pol has space AIDS and the Vulcans want to punish her for it” and the B plot was “Trip doesn’t understand poly.”

      I’m finding the show to be much more progressive than its reputation led me to believe. Archer only seems like a football coach and Trip only sounds like a Southern bible thumper. They both keep doing the right thing by the end of the day. They help stranded vessels. They push diplomacy over fighting. They stand up for marginalized groups. They are “perfect gentlemen.”

      That’s my impression halfway through season 2.

        Ooh. You are in for a fun time going forward. Enterprise handed the reigns to Manny Coto for the later seasons. 3 finally takes some building plot lines seriously and, for better or worse, they finally let them do a season long arc in a Star Trek. 4 really finds itself and is the high watermark of the series in my opinion, it makes it really disappointing that it was canceled when it was.

      As poly (currently in a single relarionship) I found this a great breath of fresh air. It was done so naturally. Even to a point that the not understanding poly side was the ridiculous side of the story.
