Why did they have her sucking on helium before she talked :-)!

I couldn't get into that show ... at all. The only character (outside of Seven of Nine) I found interesting was Tuvok ... and they all but wasted that character. The writers were awful and seemed to be obsessed with injecting proto-woke shit into most of the later episodes.

It's a damn shame the writers brought all of that bland scribble into that Enterprise series ... I had such high hopes for it ... they really fucked that show up in its earlier days (some episodes were great, others were horrible). By the time they got their act together in season 4 (some excellent shows in that season), it was too late ... they were down to 16 or 17 viewers. Yeah, 17 viewers :-) ).
