    Another show lost to streaming war bullshit.

    I’m hopeful it gets picked up somewhere else

      I thought it ended well, but certainly took an unexpected turn. Lieutenant Kim was worth it.

      Edit: I also solved the problem of watching it through the high seas

        I agree Kim was worth it. “Fissure Quest” is a wonderful episode that offsets a bit of the disappointment of the finale (which, while underwhelming, I would hardly call a bad episode). I certainly would love it to continue in some form.

        I loved Malor, but am annoyed a bit what they did with Ma’ah in the end - how does this guy go from “Beckett is honorable” immediately after meeting her to near instantly distrusting her? They should have found a way to allow Boimler that moment without it being at Ma’ah’ expense.

      Me, too. It’s like a perfect snapshot of the post-9/11 country music scene I was forced to endure growing up.

      But in addition to that, it always felt incongruous with Archer’s character. He’s 41 at the start of Enterprise. This is a song about how he’s been struggling for so long and no one is going to hold him back because of his faith, but the whole story is how they held his father back his whole life, and they’ve successfully held Archer back until he’s middle-aged.

      As a 38-year-old, lemme tell ya. If faith didn’t get you through the door at 20, it ain’t faith getting you out the door at 41. It should’ve been a song about dogged determination in the face of adversity.
