In many ways I feel like in Phlox they perfected the sort of jovial wit that Neelix was supposed to have on Voyager. It helps that in Phlox it is paired with an actual field of competence. Something Neelix lacked, which is why he rubbed so many people as obnoxious.
I wished neelix had been spaced by a malfunctioning airlock in season one.
@@snapdragon9300 Neelix was the absolute worst in season 1 - a selfish, jealous, self-centred arsehole. He was never perfect but I will say that he started to get better after Kes left. His and her relationship was always a weird awkwardness.
@@thehantavirus He just broke into Paris´s private programms ;)
@@eggnorman Losing a loved one changes a person. It was a nice opportunity to rewrite some aspects of his character.
Neelix was annoying, but he was admittedly useful in his own way. His knowledge of the delta quadrant was beyond useful. And his incredible ability to understand cultures was insane. He had the ability to change entire diplomatic discussions. His deep seeded need to feel important aside, there were moments where he just pulled the best hat trick ever and was a successful diplomat. Not to mention, he was a rather capable pilot and engineer. While he never truly adapted to Voyager's tech, he became quite good at maintaining and repairing systems all on the fly. I'd say he adapted better than a human would have done on a talaxian vessel.
That celery was such a great choice for this scene.
They're talking about feeling awkward and out of place, while being rigid in her ways and trying to use a knife and fork to eat celery.
The doc while calmly talking about how her own kind believe infinite diversity is a good thing he takes the problematic vegetable and uses it as a utensil to drive home his point. Her rigidity in everything, even just with eating is causing a very real barrier between her and her supposed goals.
This scene helps me realize how rigid I am in socializing, and that I've used my anxieties as a crutch for not being competent in expressing how I really feel and what I am actually thinking. Being afraid to make your own choices free of self doubt is a crippling way to live, and if anyone else feels this way, I'll tell you right now that it doesn't have to be so long as we try to not let it be. I'm rooting for you
That's a great observation that I completely missed!
I took it as him just making an awkward situation. A response to her statement about causing an awkward situation, and him just saying, "So what? Was that so bad?"
i only saw the first season was the food thing a running joke? i seem to recall her trying to fork a breadstick
Also, Vulcans apparently don't touch food with their hands. There's this very early episode where T'Pol, Archer and Tucker eat dinner and she makes it a point to eat a bread stick with fork and knife.
If they've spent a couple of lunches together, I'm sure Phlox knew this and used it to underpin the discomfort T'Pol mentioned just before. Kind of a "yeah, discomfort ... you'll be doing just fine". 🙂
T’Pol was like “I hate it when non-Vulcans are more correct in their logic grrr fascinating”
At least it wasn't a Ferengi Bar owner schooling her in the logic of profit and loss with War and Peace. :)
She is super emotional during the whole series - one of the many things that make this "not really Star Trek" for many fans. It is not only irrational that she is apprehensive of visiting the sanctuary simply because it would be "awkward" (a purely emotional thing), but it's even more irrational that she displays anger, or at least resentment, at being corrected on vulcan philosophy by a non-vulcan. Even Spock, a half-vulcan/half-human hybrid had his emotions better in check. His answer would probably have been "An interesting proposal, doctor" - and god knows Spock took more ribbin' from Bones than any Vulcan imn Starfleet history :D
@@QemeH Half Romulan?
@@QemeH true, but if she were...
@@QemeH the thing is, (and I like how lower decks backs this up) Vulcans do feel emotion. Who’s to say they are all excellent at surprising it? We met the Vulcans who were, this time we followed one that was not. She’s probably on a human ship for a reason, and she’s probably worried about showing up with this awkward group that only emphasizes how she’s (by Vulcan standards) so emotional.
T’Pol’s character is so damn good in this series. People write her off as eye candy but her acting was top notch, and her character arch was unforgettable.
Top notch?
I don’t know why people give her crap at all. Enterprise is not my favorite but she is definitely my favorite Vulcan right alongside Tuvok. I mean Seven of Nine was well acted. So was Jadzia. It’s almost like they had a casting director worth a damn that found beautiful women that actually knew what they were doing. Mind blowing.
Phlox too, hes the neelix we actually wanted
@@jamchiroptera4258 the Neelix we deserved
The only people who write her off as only eye candy never really watched the show. Like Seven of Nine she was one of the strongest characters on the show.
Best written and played female Characters were either shunned for beeing "boring" or "stupid" or exactly this was done to them - latter by the "Fans" whished been fulfilled. Dax, Seven, T'Pol.... sigh.
Still get the creeps when thinking back to when Voyager aired and I had a talk to some other "Trekkies" and they were "Seven's so HOT! and Janeway is a bad Captain!"
So, I cringed and asgeed on Janeway beeing an often incompetent Leader, but then thoose XXXXX referred to her disqualifying Attributes were "She's so ugly!" and such.
That's when I finally realized that there are Assholes in every Group out there, and it is not the Group, it is their own Character making them so. 2 Weeks later, Sevens Breasts suddenly "grew" larger and her Uniform was obviously designed to highlight them, and that was when I stopped watching Voyager.
I don't give a flying fuck what anyone says. This series was damn good.
Logical.
If only they could have decided if they wanted to be episodic or serialized.
Language young man. My kids could of read them bad words😡
@@andrewharris9302 It's the fucking Internet. Be a parent, either keep your kids off it or moderate what content they see.
@@andrewharris9302 Could *have.
At least teach your kids properly!
Phlox is like "you are eating wrong and your perceptions about the visit are backwards" SNAP!
So totes. Vulcans can be so uptight, but Phlox brings wisdom where logic falls short.
I'm with both of them but DAMN ca we put some pepper and dressing on that plate???
@@ThatGuyNicho Yeah - when you’re seeing an inch, but missing the mile……I mean kilometer and the other metric inch thingy..
Goes the celery!
BOOM! nailed it!
I don't know if this was established at the time this episode aired, but Phlox grabbing food off of T'pols plate makes perfect sense for a Denobulan. They live in extremely close communities and share everything, concepts like personal space are a bit foreign to them. The fact that he asks for permission after he's already done it seems like he's trying to save face after stealing food out of habit.
but also its a clever way to show her she's eating it wrong without embarrassing her and shifting the focus to himself
I'm not sure. I met a guy who felt it was ok to touch me and then ask if it was ok. Even I was not comfortable with him after that. While Phlox didn't go further, I could see some distress in T'Pol's face. She must have figured out what he was saying because she relaxed and let him say more.
errr, didn't they also say Phlox don't like to be touched? I was always confused by that.
@@Scylon1 Elizabeth Cutler started to kiss him on a movie night date and then remembered he didn't like to be touched. He seemed to take her advance in stride, but wondered what she expected from him since he has 3 wives. She said something about seeing how it worked out. Hopefully, she just wanted friendship. I think Trip wanted a bit more from T'Pol later.
@@virginiaconnor8350 Trip ended up married to T'pol with several children after faking his own death in black ops if I'm remembering right.
I love that subtle shift in Tpol. From resigned annoyance to barely contained annoyance. The actress was great. The series was great.
Great cans too
@Sachin Is The God wonderful tailor
I know, right? I will never, ever, understand why Enterprise gets so much disrespect.
The opening credits is part of it for some.
@@Muljinn "Faith of the Heart" was a mistake
A hand that strays over my plate to grab food will end up with four small holes in it, ancient human proverb.
Lol, 4 tiny 1mm sized holes
I'm with you there, nothing gets in between me and my food and a hand that reaches into my plate will come back but a stub where there was one.
I say the same thing They would be pulling back a stump messing with my food!
To seize from a warriors plate is to invite death. ~~ Klingon proverb most likely. ;)
I will not lie, I have actually stabbed a person for stealing from my plate, but to be fair it was my sibling so it was 100% legal --- Human Proverb 2, From confessions of a serial killer.
Props to John Billingsley, reading out lines while eating and making seamless is not as easy as most would think. He is a great actor.
I think they add their voices later in post production.
Great actor, and a fun guy in person too.
Phlox was quite pleased with himself here. I'm glad they didn't do one of those CGI grins.
I was sort of hoping for one. Well, like, a medium one.
I think they were essentially "taming" her, getting T'Pol used to serving with a mostly human crew. She was less aloof in the 3rd and 4th seasons.
It was the CGI grin that made me like him in the first place.
Denobulans...
😁
Damn did they creep me out. Uncanny Valley stuff.
An enthusiastic Denobulan smacking down a Vulcan with logic... who would have thought?
We've already seen a Ferengi do the same to a Vulcan Marquis supporter in DS9.
With a celery stick. A fn celery stick!
@@Euripides_Panz Wohn Wick reference detected.
I loved so many of the Enterprise crew. Phlox in particular. His joie de vie when it comes to exploring not space but culture felt unique (maybe because it was often directed towards humanity rather than coming from humans)
The fact he was so professional and serious when working versus his off duty or just casual interactions really made him endearing. Then there was the whole thing with Crewman Fuller where I almost expected her to become his next wife. There were a couple bad episodes with him, sure but I feel like they used him just enough to keep him fresh and entertaining.
Phlox and "The Doctor" are two of the best characters in Star Trek.
Do you mean Crewman Cutler? Unfortunately, the actress who played her, Kellie Waymire, passed away suddenly.
Joie de vie?
@@music79075 joie de la vie, French for the joy of life
Phlox and Porthos are the only characters I like in the 4-season long Quantum Leap miniseries. He’s the kind of explorer you expect in Trek, has competence, and just “fits”.
I love the way Phlox says: "may I?" _after_ reaching on to T'Pol's plate, helping himself! 😹😹😹
Not only did he take her celery, he TOUCHED FOOD WITH HIS HANDS!! Vulcans don't do that. (At least this version of Vulcans don't.)
@@Retro6502 I would've been upset if that that had happened to me, too! Makes it even funnier that he's talking about Vulcan philosophy, and yet making a faux pas at the sake time!
At least he was careful not to touch the other food on her late
i believe that he did it intentionally, knowing that he just basically broke all of her eating faux pas. he even put some of his non vegan food on her celery.
it was all a very sneaky and polite way of saying "suck it up princess"
I like to think he just used a custom of his own people, where it is custom to take a food item from a friend/families plate _(just one,_ don't be rude, just sharing among colleagues by custom), just to try something you've never had, or enjoy something you haven't had in a while, reminding her that humans aren't the _only_ race out there to do things Vulcan's don't like. And Phlox's people are probably impressive to Vulcan's, about a Vulcan level intellect with a casual mastery of their emotions
A reminder of differences in custom (employing a human phrasing that would have gone unused in his culture, "may I?" because it's an expected and freely given thing), and a logical turn on the situation that even surprises her, lol
In an all-star Federation crew, Phlox is always my top pick for chief medical officer.
I agree - McCoy would be my first choice but he is such a grouch at times. Now for a researcher Bashir is my choice.
@@jamesrawlins735 I can understand a preference for Bashir, as a strictly “medical” researcher he would be best. My choice for Phlox is that while he is an INCREDIBLY competent doctor, he is also just as conpetent of a naturalist. He reminds me of the doctors and scientists of the golden age of naval exploration during the 19th century, tagging along on a naval expedition out into the absolute unknown, discovering and collecting scores of new species every week, and discovering new uses from them in the process. And, I think Phlox did more than any other crew member, even Archer, to form the spirit of what starfleet should be. Phlox is wise, curious, happily full of wonder and humbly able to make the very hardest decisions. I respect him more than I respect Picard.
I totally agree with you. He was the stand out character for me from Enterprise.
I would love to see a fic with all the CMO’s just together talking medical jargon and complain about their worst patients.
@@PR--un4ub As much as it breaks my own heart to admit it, Robot Chicken sketches aren't Trek canon....so I have to doubt the physical likelihood of an such exams being.....physical.
It’s such a shame Enterprise was, overall, a very uneven series (like Voyager). Both had great actors, great concepts, and some really great moments; however, overall, both felt as though they never really gelled and found a consistent and unique voice (with the exception of Enterprise’s last season).
This moment here is a shining example of when Enterprise was firing on all cylinders.
Yeah, Enterprise really felt like it was starting to find the proverbial groove in season 4. Right when they cancelled it.
@@ew7421 If we are being truly honest with ourselves DS9 didn't really find its footing until Worf showed up...
AND
Voyager didn't find it's footing until Seven showed up.
How far into those shows were we again?
@@Zieg_Games S3-4 or thereabouts. No surprise as S1 and 2 of TNG were a bit touch and go as well. It's almost as if you should expect the first couple seasons of a conventional star trek series to be the writers and actors finding their footing and seeking out what works and what doesn't.
I say conventional, because lately the new shows have followed more of an action/drama formula rather than the traditional "Star Trek" formula. Not necessarily anything wrong with that, I have enjoyed the first half of S1 of Picard that I've watched, but it's definitely a far cry from what I WANTED it to be.
they are, to me, both better than TNG, and those 3 are best out of all of them. They are not flawless, nothing is.
Oh boy Star Trek and Star Wars fans exactly alike 😂 extremely judgmental
I love Phlox, he's the glue that held the personalities of the Enterprise together. He had such a curious and fun nature about him that was great.
That look she gave him at the end was almost lethal.
You know you're a good actor when you can make celery look delicious.
Dr. Phlox would have killed it if he had wings with that celery...
Can't get over how small this enterprise looks compared to her future incarnations.
looking into behind the scenes design stuff, they mention they specifically modeled the interiors on submarine interiors. So strictly utilitarian and often cramped.
of course the NX Enterprise is still several times larger than a submarine, but it makes for a nice contrast to something like TNG's Enterprise specifically.
@@FlameG102 and makes perfect sense, this is the first proper interstellar starship earth had made, so it should be pretty utilitarian vs a 24th century cruise ship of a starship
I love that cramped feeling. The physics of travel being what it is, space efficiency is energy efficiency. Tight quarters feel realistic.
She’s a little bigger than the defiant I think.
@@salilbhatnagar Only if you factor in the warp engines and pontoons. Otherwise they are about the same size.
T'Pol well and truly got schooled by Phlox. He's a total chad.
Indeed. My two favorite characters have a great repartee with one another.
Somehow the doctor is always a favorite.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 His positivism and cheerful approach of things like a curious child, though hiding a vast wisdom helps with his likeable persona. That is why when there are moments of crisis for his character, they feel very strong too. T'Pol too, considering that at the time the Vulcans had been secretely infiltrated in their High Command by the Romulans and twisted them. Hence they were such @$$holes towards the Humans and limiting their advancement in space exploration. They were trying to curb a potential adversary and after all was discovered, T'Pol, Soval and many had to relearn their entire society.
I mean the man has how many wives? Super chad energy.
@@CdrChaos I think he has like 4 wives and each has like 2 husbands and so on. His race is polygamous to the 10th lol. In essence all of the people of his race have the Chaddest Energy of them all 🤣🤣🤣
Phlox would be fun to have around. His speech and thought are crisp. He's jovial, upbeat and highly intelligent. Reminds me of Ben Franklin in some way.
so he was boning T'pol on the side?
@@BlackMasterRoshi all cats are Vulcan in the dark
The greatest acting of this scene is Phlox smiling after taking a bite of pure celery. No living thing so enjoys the taste of waterlogged fiber.
Celery: when you want a bite of water with hair in it.
@@joealtmaier9271 😳😅😂💀
@@joealtmaier9271 I didn't see any string left after he'd taken a bite; must have good sharp teeth.
I do if it's got some peanut butter on it.
@@countOfHenneberg Or really fresh Celery.
Seems T'pol was getting more than one lesson at that sitting.
This scene exemplifies everything that makes Star Trek special - a civilized debate about philosophy and the best way to enact it in real life.
There was nothing civilised about it. As I said in another comment, stealing food and lecturing a member of another race about their culture are both pretty obnoxious. I didn't see this, but another commenter says that Phlox also put some of his non-vegan food on T'Pol's celery, which would be way beyond obnoxious.
Once they got past the Temporal Cold War and actually concentrated on writing good stores, Enterprise was good. I refuse to acknowledge the last episode.
After just completing Enterprise a couple of years ago, I was absolutely stunned at how they finished the series. I was like "They did not really just make the series finale a foot note for TNG!" What a slap in the face for all of the cast. The second to last episode is where the show ends for me.
"Our mission is to make contact with *THOSE WHO HUMANS CONSIDER* new life" is such an underrated line. Of course a Vulcan would phrase it like that. Humanity's first ventures into outerspace must seem quaint and adorable, like watching a toddler learn to walk and explore the house.
Phlox grabs celery from T'Pol's plate , T'Pol introduces a fork into his hand
One of my favourite Phlox scenes. I like it when he shows how damn SMART he is.
Phlox is a rather cheery fella.
No real vegans were consulted on T'Pol's ghastly meal.
T'Pol's meals are probably pretty similar to what her size 0 actress ate during filming seasons
I love how phlox politely tells T'Pol to get with the fucking program! LMAO
Very politely too.
Anyone want a Star Trek movie that brings us back to the days of the NX class? Perhaps the Romulan War? Could be nice.
I'm most interested in seeing "7of9" wrestle T'Pol
@@markallen2984 A tickle fight between the two would be interesting.
Indeed, but wouldn't happen. Simply not enough fanfare for it. I'd be all for it of course.
Look at Firefly, the best we got for an example that I know of. 3 years after, we got the movie. It's been over 16 years for Star Trek Enterprise. It's not happening. Oh well.
@@RurouniKalainGaming Doesn't need to be the crew of the 01, but using the design of the NX class could be cool.
@@Fooq in a mud pit on Risa!
Jolene Blalock was a superstar as T’Pol. I was hoping we’d see more of her post-Enterprise. Heck - I was hoping we’d get MORE Enterprise. Uneven writing couldn’t change the fact that the cast was FANTASTIC , as was the concept for the show. We need to see Enterprise revived with it’s original cast. The actors are still in their prime, and as it crested the twenty year mark, TOS was at the zenith of it’s revival. This should happen for Enterprise as well.
I couldn't agree more. Enterprise should never have been cancelled in the first place, but they could still undo this wrong, by bringing it back.
Some of my very favourite Star Trek characters are on this series, and these two are in that group; also Trip and Hoshi.
I fear me and you are both guilty of wishful thinking though, I can't see them bringing it back.
@@Warriorking.1963 If they do it will be 'for modern audiences'.
T'Pol: He got me with logic. Damn.
A criminally underrated show.
Phlox was a phenomenal character. Definitely the best doctor sine the real McCoy.
I see what you did there 😂
@@Crazy-Chicken-Media It was my one opportunity to use it so I went for it! 😁
@@AvroBellow you did good my friend
@@Crazy-Chicken-Media Ah-thankyou! 😁
I love how every woman in Trek accused of being eye candy is badass and invaluable and that's ignored because they look sexy.
Reminds me of a scene from the Sopranos. One mobster took a shrimp off the plate of another mobster. By the end of the episode, the thief got a bullet through the eye. T'Pol had more restraint.
More like she follows Kurn philosophy: "I never kill anyone at the supper table"
A difference from arrogance and confidence. Different types of attempted lessons. The mobster was arrogant. Phlox was confident. That intuition is, sometimes, what keeps you alive.
And no bullets.
From the mirror universe. I suggest you remember that my operatives would avenge stealing food off my plate - and some of them... are Vulcans.
He never had the makings of a Starfleet captain
1:13 This is not a natural look, this is a: "you are lucky we suppress our emotions" look!
I love that Phlox 'dunked' on T'Pol in this moment. That being said.. I'm uncomfortable with how f-ing SMUG he's being.
I’m not fond of raw vegetables, but I make an exception for celery.
Celery slaps
Celery is about the most worthless vegetable. Little flavor and minimal nutritional value.
Later, she eats popcorn with her bare hands on a movie night, eats a peach with her bare hands as well, and dares to eat a breadstick-w/o gloves-in front of her own mother!
celery plus blue cheese hell yea
Second only to Quark schooling a Vulcan in logic by using one of the Rules of Acquisition in STDS9
If looks could kill, Phlox would be a dead man.
Would be fun if someone made an edit where tiny sparks start to light up in T'Pol's eyes, only just restraining from zapping his ass.
it would be hilarious seeing phlox eating star trek tos food (colored cubes)
You mean colored Play-do
She is such a great actress, it takes years of practice to stare blankly into space
Phlox's logic is flawless.
Well it could have been worse.
He could have tossed a chicken wing on her plate.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder how T'Pol would have reacted if it were she-and not Hoshi-who saw Phlox feed the tribble to that plant. Was that the same plant Sulu had once, the one Yeoman Rand called Beauegard and he Gertrude (or was it the other way around)?
@@virginiaconnor8350 ... Right with the names of Rand's plant. Took forever to find that clip. I remember seeing the ENT ep but don't recall what that plant looked like.
@@virginiaconnor8350 Probably shrug it off. It's the only way for the plant to survive and Tribbles multiply way too rapidly as is.
People give Enterprise a hard time, but it was actually a good show, and spot on for a Star Trek series. It got the philosophy, it understood the spirit of the franchise. And it was a good prequel as well. Sure the finale was, eh. But there was a lot of good stuff.
It's definitely worlds ahead of Discovery, Picard, and the Kurtzman Trek shows that are Star Trek in name only.
if only they had made the romular war season, people would have loved it. Despite the finale and some really stupid episodes I love it.
It's amazing how I enjoy every Star Trek series the first time, the thing is if I go back to re-watch it afterwards... I tried with Discovery but couldn't, Picard got forgotten as soon as I found Enterprise was still on Netflix...
Then there's that other space sci-fi on Amazon, "The Expanse" you can tell Kurtzman hasn't been within 100 miles of that script.
@@KatamuroTheFirstwe do have novels which may not be canon. But this is a series likely to never be touched again so I hear they are faithful to the characters haven't read them but plan to
STINO?
I know she's a Vulcan, but I just can't shake the feeling she put on a 'Resting B*' face at him.
Best doctor ever! One of the best Trek characters!
Her face after the talk is so priceless lol.. Good acting
Sometimes it takes an outside viewpoint to put your own beliefs into perspective.
Too often you are too close to them to see them clearly in anything but the smallest fraction.
This scene exemplifies that.
As does Quark talking to the Vulcan about logic in DS9.
It's criminal that JIF peanut butter is not on that celery!😉
An old trick, but very effective. Make them say the words themselves and they will believe it much easier
Even with the pounds of prosthetics on his face, I still recognized Coombs
I once knew a doctor who reminded me of Phlox. I was on a camping trip with him (as part of a group of about 15 people) when he suddenly dropped trou and took a dump - right in front of us. He thought no more about having a bowel movement right in front of mixed company, than my dog.
Did ur relationship change after that?
Did he make eye contact? That's how you assert dominance.
This is from S01 E07, titled "The Andorian Incident".
I remember this one... Shran seizes the supposedly sacred temple, and with Enterprise's help, uncovers a dark, secret espionage operation, giving the Vulcan's a black eye when their violations were uncovered and earning Archer the respect of the Andorians. This one really stuck with me even though I only watched it when the episode premiered. The Vulcans pre-UFP were so arrogant and hypocritical and this operation deeply showcased it.
I always thought this was the best Trek of them all. It’s all well and good to show how an established Federation Galavant around poking it snows into everybody’s business but I like beginnings and I like endings. In this case it’s a beginning with Star Trek enterprise. Will always be my favorite one
it's nose*
Clever writing, expertly played. The character, Phlox, is easily one of the more intelligent life forms on that vessel.
Ah, first season T'Pol, so very Vulcan.
Personally, I loved this series and it had many moment's like this that harken back to TOS, THG and DS9. I have said this many times, when Star Trek utilizes Shakspearian flare or Philosophy it gives you what I think Gene Roddenberry and many writers and directors envisioned. The educate you and entertain you at the same time thus creating an atmosphere that makes you want to learn and experience more.
T'Pol has a natural talent for creating the saddest plates in the cafeteria, it's deeply depressing to watch.
Takes it then asks after he touches the celery- classic husband stealing wife food move
Great writing! Oh, yeah...Great acting also!
T’pol: “I’m having a rough time fitting in. Everybody is so human.”
Phlox: “Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that.”
Despite the hate for this series, I think phlox was one of the most interesting Star Trek characters ever developed.
Wise words from Dr. Pholx
Only an alien could eat celery so casually without getting a big string caught in their teeth
Reminiscent of Paul Atreides making a point by stealing a bite of food off a plate to remind a guest that a species often competes with itself for resources; perhaps an homage, perhaps a parallel, but most certainly similar for a reason . . .
That is some magic celery. He keeps eating it. It never gets shorter. It also keeps its nice just cut edge.
"Keep your filthy Denobulan hands off my celery..."
Phlox was my favorite doctor
I still like Bones, but I was introduced to him before all the others. Dr. Phlox is #2 on my list.
New life and new civilizations. To boldly go.
He also schooled her explicitly on the easiest way to eat a stick of celery too while he was at it.🤣🤣🤣
I so love it when Vulcans get dunked on in their own play ground.
Phlox was always one of my favorite characters on this show. John Billingsley was brilliant in this role.
I really love how often the characters are eating during their scenes in this show. Really makes the characters seem more like a crew and the framing of the conversations more realistic.
Must've been hell for the actors though.
Hottnes of T'Pol should not be underestimated.
One of my fav Star Trek series. For scenes like this.
This. This is what made Star Trek really good. The philosophy. The thought experiments. The “What if’s” and “if, then’s”. Not the spectacle of special effects. That was always secondary.
"So suck it up and deal, Pointy Lugs ... or be a hypocrite!"
She HATES that he's right.
Hmm, This whole,, Premier thing that's popular now. .Kinda works.. Makes you really look forward to it.. Thx for posting...
And to comment on the video. My family and friends steal food off plates just like that but without the retroactive asking....😁
Anybody remember Coombs from Stargate? That was Phlox au naturel!
Isnt it wonderful when a Denobulan Doctor has to Remind a Vulcan of the Idic of her People and how stuck up they have been through out the series. Infinate Diversity in Infiniate Combinations is really the Key to understanding =)
She didn't have enough nutrition on that plate to justify sitting down for a meal.
I would flat refuse to have anyone on my crew who consumes that much celery in a single meal…😂
Two aliens on a space ship eating celery from Earth.....
AND Phlox does it while eating, (clutches pearls), WITH HIS HANDS!
Phlox was one of the reasons why ENT just might be my favorite Star Trek show
It's criminally underrated. I prefer it over Voyager.
Always found this show, to be a real Hit or Miss at times. It definitely did have its moments.
They really hate it when you throw it in their faces.
Adam
Enterprise NX-01, the only spaceship so damn loud it makes a noise even in the vacuum of space...
i LUV phlox (wish i had a doctor HALF as caring!)
Now I am mega hungry for celery and I hardly ever even eat celery.
Such a pleasant tone but some very harsh meaning behind those words! Excellent example of verbal combat.
I'm reminded of another movie quote that goes against infinate diversity. 14 million ways to fail and only one where we win. Trying something for diversity sake is a great way to fail. Divide and Concur is a real life quote that works in real life. You can't have diversity without dividing first. I think the best (hu)man for the job is the best and only way to have diversity and expect to win. That means you have to try harder.
Phlox is the embodiment of the Taoist sage, radical acceptance and chill vibes :)
