Why not, they had Scott Bakula Quantum Leap co-star Dean Stockwell appeared on Enterprise

I'm guilty as well. I just wasn't interested when I was that young and it was first run. Just another show I need to run through on Netflix.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it

Been watching season 3 of Enterprise and I do have to say I'm finding it very interesting. You need to watch it in order to enjoy it. It's not all about the Xindi, there are side stories and exploring the expanse. I do like the Episode "Carpenter Street" where Archer and T'pol travel back in time to stop 3 Reptilians from releasing some deadly weapon in 2004. It was fun to see T'pol going back in time after she kept saying "The Vulcan Science council has determined Time Travel as impossible". Jeffrey Dean Morgan played one of the Reptilians.

I love the original series, but the plot flaws kill me sometimes. Example: By Any Other Name episode. The Enterprise gets taken over by a high advance aliens party looking for worlds to colonize in our galaxy. They have taken on human form to be able to use a federation ship. They upgrade the engines so that 1. It can pass thru the energy barrier around our galaxy. 2. The Enterprise is now 4 to 5 times faster. So, after convincing the aliens that their own people would no longer accept them after 300 years of being human. This suggest what makes you human is just biology and hormones, and nothing to do with experience and beliefs. The worst offense however, is They Don't Keep the Alien Technogoly! The return to their comparative snail pace, after gaining an advancement they would be lucky to achieve in a century! [Edited 4/9/17 6:19am]

Sounds like you are talking about the episode called "By Any Other Name"

Season 3 is where we see Tucker and T'pol having a closer relationship

Star Trek: Enterprise - T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) - Image Source: E Online

Here are some things you didn't know about T'Pol. The most controversial part of Star Trek: Enterprise was the revealing costume worn by T'Pol, played by former model Jolene Blalock. Some called her a "sexpot", a "glorified nookie girl" and "the most hated actress ever to appear in any Star Trek." We already talked about what Jeri Ryan (who played "Seven of Nine") went through in her costume and what Marina Sirtis went through with Deanna Troi's cleavage. Now, we'll talk about the reasons for Jolene Blalock's many changing uniforms.

T'Pol is a Vulcan on the fifth Star Trek television series television series, Star Trek: Enterprise. She served aboard the Earth starship Enterprise NX-01 in the mid-22nd century. The show was a prequel to the original Star Trek series, and she was the first Vulcan to serve aboard a long tour of duty on a Human ship. T'Pol originally served at the Vulcan Embassy on Earth before she was temporarily reassigned to the Enterprise with the rank of sub-commander. After the mission, Captain Jonathan Archer persuaded her to take the position of science officer and the title of first officer of the Enterprise NX-01. She was later promoted to the rank of Commander.

Jolene Blalock was born in San Diego, California and is a huge fan of Star Trek: The Original Series. Her favorite character is Mr. Spock. She loved "the relationship, just the sense of loyalty," she told Star Trek Monthly. "I watched these three characters - Captain Kirk, Spock, Bones - and their relationship with each other and how loyal they are, and that was intense. They would give their lives for each other."

"[As T'Pol], if you can just be present, say what you want with your presence, with your eyes with your intention, the message gets across more potently, because when you're talking to someone, there's not really much you can say that they don't already know. I love the fact that T'Pol can just say every thing with her eyes and her presence."

Why did she have to go to a tattoo parlor? Was she given a sexier costume because of the ratings? Why was the show almost banned in the US? Here are some facts you may not have known about the sexiest Vulcan in space.
1. She had to Remove Her Belly Button Ring

In the first few seasons, Blalock wore a skin-tight suit, but her belly was exposed in several episodes. The problem is that Blolock had a belly button ring and Vulcans don't wear jewelry. So they had to take it out. It was a disaster.

Blolock later said, "Before one scene we were trying to get my belly button ring out – at one point we had two pairs of pliers on it and I was in agony. And finally the producer sent me to a tattoo shop down the road, so I went there in my ears, wig, and a pink bathrobe. No-one gave me a second look in the street and when I walked into the tattoo shop, the guy didn't even bat an eyelid. He just looked at my pointy ears – and they look very authentic – then started talking about the belly button ring. That’s LA for you."

2. It Took Hours for the Make-Up, But Minutes for the Costume

Jolene Blalock regularly spent two hours in the morning getting ready for her role as the Vulcan T'Pol. While her costume looked complicated, getting into her suit took "minutes" but it was the make-up that took the most time. They added prosthetic ears, a wig and eyebrows.

The makeup changed to a more Vulcan-style look in the third season. Michael Westmore was the makeup designer and supervisor and said, "Jolene was a Trek fan and she hated that they didn't give her usual Vulcan ears and eyebrows. So in season three, she and her makeup artist just went ahead and made the change. When she appeared on the set with her new look, no objections were raised."

3. T'Pol Did Not Wear a "Catsuit"

Original series costume designer William "Bill" Theiss or Bill Theiss was known for his provocative costume design. He came up with what is known as the "Theiss Titillation Theory" which claims that "the degree to which a costume is considered sexy is directly proportional to how accident-prone it appears to be."

Blalock told Maxim that her costume made sense for her character. "I have a holster for my gun, but that's it," Blalock said, "I guess T'Pol is just so low-maintenance that she doesn't need anything else. She's very feline in her movements, so really, the cat suit works."

4. They Added Cleavage to Try to Save the Show

By the third season, the ratings were in decline. For the first time since the Star Trek: The Original Series, a Star Trek television series was in danger of cancellation.

Blalock was not happy about the costume changes telling SFX Magazine, "You can’t substitute t*** and a** for good storytelling. You can have both, but you can't substitute one for the other, because the audience is not stupid. You can’t just throw in frivolous, uncharacteristic... well, bull and think it's gonna help the ratings!"

5. T'Pol Has Star Trek's First Nude Scene

While Star Trek is known for pushing boundaries, like the first interracial kiss between Kirk and Uhura, but there was one episode that crossed the lines for US television. The third-season episode "Harbinger" had the first non-sexual nude scene in Star Trek television history. In the episode, T'Pol is with Tucker and lets her clothes fall to the floor displaying her fully nude backside.

6. T'Pol Had More Costume Changes Than Any Other Character

While many Star Trek characters had significant changes to their wardrobe, no character had more major changes to their costume than T'Pol. She wore over 40 costumes over the four seasons. Besides the grey, teal, purple, orange and blue colored "catsuits" she wore a wide number of casual uniforms. She also appeared nude in two episodes of season three -"Impulse" and "Harbinger" - coincidentally when the show was first in danger of cancellation.

7. T'Pol's Uniforms Are Expensive

A massive letter-writing campaign by fans convinced UPN to renew the series for a fourth season. The average episode of Star Trek: Enterprise was $1.2 million an episode for the first three seasons and the budget was slashed to $800,000 to cut costs and try and save the show. This was half the budget of shows like Stargate: Atlantis. Unfortunately, the series was canceled during the fourth season. It is the only other Star Trek to be canceled in the middle of its run.

Today, T'Pol's costumes sell for over $3000. One of her civilian outfits sold for $6500.99 on eBay. Her highest priced item is her original Vulcan uniform which sold for $8,400 at Chrisities back in 2006. Obviously, guys would love to have the clothes that wrapped T'Pol's curvy body.

T'pol was my favorite character on Star Trek: Enterprise but I remember being pissed off at how much her Vulcan character was diluted until she became more human than the humans. She wasn't even half-human like Spock so there was no real basis to make her so "emo." My opinion only, of course!

Exactly. This time a woman wearing red dies instead of a man. That progressive for the 1960's

Come to think of it not to many women died on the original series
