Archer, T'Pol, and Tucker had a sort of (definitely deliberate) Kirk, Spock, McCoy vibe and I like that the most about ENT... also I like ds9 but nepht is kinda right because out of all the star trek shows ds9 has by far the least trekking going on.
Since those seem to be the general-consensus favorites, maybe that's my problem. Out of all those, I only sort of liked Archer. Tucker's personality didn't feel like a good match for his capability and skillset, so I found him a bit unbelievable. As for T'Pol, she felt like too much like a Zev/Xev Bellringer with pointy ears and logic instead of fiery badassery and...oh Lexx, you were a one-of-a-kind show.
(Hopefully) Useful CO Resources: HeroCreator (character planner), Cosmic Timers/Alert Checklist, Blood Moon Map, Anniversary Cat Map, and more (eventually, anyway).

How did I never notice that before?
Choose your enemies carefully, because they will define you / Make them interesting, because in some ways they will mind you
They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends
Then there's Sybok, who introduced himself as Spock's brother and who Spock would have been just as happy to shoot instead of talking to.
Rule 1: Even-numbered Prime Trek movies do not suck.
Rule 2: Prime Trek movies evenly divisible by 5 should be erased from canon, even or odd.
That actually happened for ST5. Sybok never happened. If only they had done the same for ST10. I’m sure every STO writer — past, present, and future — agrees with this, because being forced to include Nemesis threw a significant spanner into the works for Legacy of Romulus.
Rule 3: JJ Trek movies are uniformly meh. In case you were wondering.

STO's storyline at LAUNCH was heavily influenced by Nemesis and the 2009 movie. Also the devs clearly liked the Scimitar because it's the flagship of the Romulan Republic.

Maybe they're long-lost sisters.

Edit: And let's not forget the alien carrots that entered their hosts through the back door.
Maybe they're long-lost sisters.
Sci-fi+drugs get my hearty endorsement!
