only four eps left!
part two of the mirror universe, then another two parter about racism or something that looks terrible and then the glorious final ep that reveals none of this ever happened!

so in the last ep, archer was doing his scowly face. and he still is

so in a scene with archer, t'pol and travis, i bet you can't guess which one didn't get any lines 🙃

you know how in trials and tribblelations sisko goes up to kirk to get him to sign something and it was just an awesome moment?

seeing archer dressed like this is the opposite of that moment

seeing sisko get to meet kirk made me feel all warm and fuzzy

seeing archer dress like kirk makes me want to throw things at him

so.

according to this ep, prime universe archer went down in history as the greatest explorer of the 22nd century and had two planets named after him?

well gosh, i hope history also recorded the time he and phlox created a baby in the lab so they could raise and murder it and harvest its brain

also fuck this show

okay if you think you might disagree with with me about bakula being just a terrible actor, go watch this scene please

watch this scene if you can stand it

his delivery of these lines... sure is something

this ancillary character gets attacked by a monster and we see from the monster's POV which is very classic dr who

i mean i guess they were going for a TOS vibe but it feels more like dr who

the actress playing t'pol seems to hate being in this episode

so it turns out the monster was a gorn because there was a gorn on TOS and this is fanfic as written by a fourteen yr old

oh, and guess who didn't get any lines in this scene?

mirror universe archer starts having visions of prime archer

the captioning is lagging a few secs behind in this ep for some reason btw

i don't remember gorns looking like this

also this thing moves like it's make of the cheapest plastic they could find

we normally get decent looking aliens at least. this looks like shit

the screengrab doesn't do it justice either. you need to see the movement to get the full effect of shittiness

they chase the monster around some dark hallways for a while. that goes on for a while

now the gorn is cgi?

i thought maybe they made it look like shitty plastic because they were doing a TOS throwback thing but it looks nothing like the TOS gorn and also look like shit so

i mean it's kicking archer's ass. that's something anyway

they kill the gorn and blow up some ships and take the prime ship back to the empire

and somehow this still has 18 mins to go? why?
