THE FACTS ARE THESE: once upon a time there was this stupid, stupid little show called Enterprise. And it was absolutely terrible. So terrible, in fact, that the two creators finally said "fuck this shit" and handed it over to someone else, who made it SO MUCH BETTER. Or he would have, had it not starred Jonathan Archer, AKA THE WORST CHARACTER IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. Do not be charmed by the fact that he is played by Scott Bakula-- HE IS AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.

What I am trying to say is it takes a lot of fortitude to watch this show-- to get around the terrible writing, the (sometimes) terrible acting (LOL ANTHONY MONTGOMERY, as much as I would like to eat you up with a spoon, there is a reason they never gave Travis lines), the terrible characters who refuse to die NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT ALMOST HAPPENS, the fact that Brannon Braga really likes to write about NAZIS IN SPACE, the part where it's... Star Trek, etc. So much is wrong that it is difficult for anyone to get to the good part. The good part being Trip! and! T'Pol! in! season! four!

Anyway. [livejournal.com profile] goldenmelisande needed more Trek after you know what movie, and she picked this and them, and her subsequent enchantment has reawoken things I have not felt since I was fifteen. And believeeeee me, I know Catherine and I are almost-but-not-quite the only people left in the known universe who care about them/this fanmix (and since she's already aware of/helped me pick out a good two thirds of these songs, THERE IS SOME QUESTION OF WHY I AM EVEN POSTING THIS), BUT THEY'RE JUST SO LOVELY AND ANGSTY, IT CANNOT BE HELPED. And what it not to love? VULCANS*! HUMANS! HALF-NAKED YOGA MASSAGES VULCAN NEUROPRESSURE! PSYCHIC BONDS! Yeaaaaaaah.

*Admittedly T'Pol is the WORST VULCAN EVER, but it's kind of really adorable.

anyway. this is a fanmix for star trek enterprise! I'M SO COOL. )



WHILE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT... things, uh, I am basically grateful that twitter exists because it means THIS EXISTS:


SO YEAH, THAT HAPPENED.
