Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God, yes, much better than last year. Or maybe it's just taking up the space left by me chucking Andromeda.

No, it's better than that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Really, the part that I was wondering about is why they have a chamber sized perfectly for a person to stand in that they can pump diseases into? Do the researchers randomly infect and cure each other for fun? Torture by genetically-engineered super-soldiers aside, what purpose would a thing like that actually serve?

You make a very good point.

I wonder about the Augments -- the only way they could be more proto-Nietzschean is if they'd quoted ... wait, no ... scratch that. I expect arm spikes by the end of the season.

If so, and it's rigged to use biological warfare on the occupants, then the builders must share my opinion of how boringly exploitative the decontamination scenes are.

Admittedly I haven't seen a decon scene in a while, but when I did, they were my second favourite part of the show (Porthos takes #1).

My objections were chiefly to how ham-fistedly they threw T'Pol and Tripp together like bickering romantic leads who only needed to be trapped in an elevator to realize that they're soulmates. Not opposed to the show putting a lot of skin on display in general.

Maybe they'd win me over if they had Phlox seal Tripp in against his protests and showed Reed spritzing with one of those breath-freshener atomizers in the background.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

but in a "Wow, it actually doesn't suck" way.

They switched out showrunners. There was a decent portion of last season where it didn't suck either.
