On the apparent T'Pol/Tucker hot-lovin'-a-thon, I agree with Lee. You know, I agree with Lee so much that it's worth repeating.

Granted, I've missed all of season three so far with the exception of the premiere, but this seems so badly out of character for the both T'Pol and Tucker. T'Pol lusting for a human? T'Pol jealous because of a human? Tucker reacting passionate for a Vulcan? I really don't think there is a reasonable explanation for this. Sure, they will have spent two and half years serving together, but I can't imagine the mutual animosity calming to the point in such a length of time for T'Pol to jealous of Tucker's interests and Tucker to jump into bed with her at the first chance.

I can see Tucker jumping into bed with her, but not falling in love with her. Not after the tension between the two. And I definitely can't see T'Pol becomming jealous or developing an attraction. Unless perhaps the Expanse is effecting her emotional control. Or perhaps her experience aboard the Vulcan ship had a more extensive effect on her.

They were kind of building up to it with those erotic massage neural therapy scenes. Although they suddenly paired her to Archer for "Twilight".
I guess it's better than the pointless out of the blue Seven-Chakotay relationship.

I think that T'Pol admires Archer in some fashion, and that admiration only turned into something else in "Twilight" because he essentially sacrificed himself for her.

I guess we could do some heavy reading-between-the-lines and assume that, whereas Tucker might not have initially resented being passed over for Captain in favour of someone who isn't even Starfleet (or human), he might well have come to do so especially if he questioned her command decisions as often as he appeared to.

I don't know. The synopsis sounds pretty cliched, but they tend to do that regardless of what they're actually synopsizing. I mean, I can easily see myself recoiling in horror at the actual episode, but, I guess I do not get this gut-level distaste being displayed here.
