My favorite part they didn't show when she went back to her cabin and took out her great grandma purse from carbon creek

[@virginiaconnor8350]

That had to prove her story was possibly true. T'Pol knew how to play-act, but she used that skill to save others, not tell an imaginary story. When my mother said she didn't believe our mischief cover-ups, she said we were telling her a story-a nice way of saying we lied. To T'Pol, a story is just that: she had no to reason to lie about an ancestor.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

The term "great grandma" should be in quotes. T'Pol "told a story" that was quite vivid and when she went and picked up the purse this made the story an actual experience. In a later episode Trip did ask T'Pol exactly how old she was. T'Pol kind of evaded that question as well.

Made the story and reason work why she stayed for a year in that episode, even longer after that. Went against the Vulcan High Command, defended her crew and even fought against the Xindi. There is more behind it and this episode gave that. Also the scene after this with that handbag, loved it. Really put the cherry on top.

Its a shame they cut this show. It was one of the best Star Trek series IMO.

[@UteChewb]

The Federation never made sense to me all through TOS and TNG, but finally in Enterprise I could see how it started and why it worked. For that reason alone, I would rank it highly in the ST pantheon, apart from the excellent stories like Carbon Creek.

[@Peatingtune]

Unfortunately, it was panned by a lot of hardcore Trekkies at the time. It might not have been as despised as Discovery and Picard are by that demographic today, but it didn't have a lot of vocal support (hence the cancellation) until years later. I still remember my Trekkie friend admitting that he hated the show - "It isn't Star Trek." He also suspected Enterprise had killed the entire franchise by being "so bad." My dad, who grew up with TOS and has watched every episode of that show, TNG, DS9 and VOY multiple times on syndication, made a face at Enterprise and couldn't get into it. I've encountered many people saying that they only liked it after a second viewing years later, or that they gave it a chance now because they hate Disco/PIC so much and, by comparison, found it to be pretty good (my Dad now says this). I've always liked Enterprise and was stung by the cancellation, but I definitely remember feeling pretty alone in my liking of it.

@@TheCook18769 voyager was far worse than DS9 or Enterprise. Even cast of voyager admitted they hated the show they starred in because of Kate mulgrew ( captain planeway…opps Jane way) who fought constantly with jeri Ryan (seven of nine). The only characters who were tolerable and good were Tuvok and seven of nine. Voyager should have been canceled after season 3. From a ratings perspective enterprise surpassed voyager in fan ratings but it never received nation wide syndication and les moonves had it out to cancel the show as soon as he came on board cbs. Season 5 came very close to happening but les pulled the rug out at the last second despite the turnaround that Manny Coto spearheaded once berman and braga had been relieved. TATV was all berman and braga as they knew berman was about to retire and les had every intention of ending everything Star Trek and he did up until 2017 when he was booted out.

Actually, she wasn't as sad yet as we might think. Read the end of "The Good That Men Do" and you'll see why. Archer gave her a note to read-left out here-and she read it. It was from Trip, still alive-also left out-to meet him below in some room under the stairs. Before she does, T'Pol hugs Archer before he leaves and then goes to meet Trip-also left out for the big Riker/Troi speech. They talk, hug, and he leaves, leaving her alone there where she gazes at baby Elizabeth's bracelet, returns it to her pocket, and breaks down crying.

"Carbon Creek" is one of my favorite episodes of the "Enterprise". The episodes with Vulcans are all good, here Mestral turned out to be a very cute character. The dude used all the positive aspects of their deplorable situation. Mestral is so open, kind and friendly... A strange Vulcan. Apparently, he had a hard time living on Vulcan, if he made such a categorical and irrevocable decision - to stay forever on an alien planet, without a chance to return home. To hide from everyone all his life and live at random. Honestly, I feel sorry for him.

Why would T'Pol lie? Just because they asked her to tell a story, it doesn't mean she just made up one on the spot (like my parents used to accuse me of doing when I got in trouble as a youngster).

It also undercuts the whole point of the movie....after all, the Vulcans KNOW that there is a technological race on Earth, and the notion that one of their survey vessels would be just "passing through" the Sol system and only contact us (again) because of Cochrane's first test of a warp drive is a bit far fetched. If nothing else, they would have had to have noticed the lack of radio noise where 106 years early it was putting out as much as a small star, and gotten curious as to what happened. As a result, Cochrane's first flight, epoch-making in its own right, really isn't all that important as to First Contact.

[@matchesburn]

@@f1b0nacc1sequence7 Well... It's a bit nuanced. Because the way it's portrayed prior to the Enterprise episode is that they weren't aware of Earth, but they don't necessarily say that. While in First Contact, Cochrane's warp speed trial IS SIGNIFICANT because the Vulcans don't make contact with species that don't have warp travel. So that happening was a clear turning point in the Vulcans making contact. The Vulcans might be curious, but they aren't going to make contact with a race until they discover warp travel. Which is what happened in First Contact. But the issue is how it's written. And it's... got some glaring issues there. And the fact that the Vulcans just neglected to reveal that that wasn't the first time they were on Earth - planned or unplanned - is a big issue.

A wonderful story that was too 🖖

[@blackbelt2000]

I remember watching this episode when it first aired but what I couldn't figure out was it actually T'pol's ancestor or T'pol herself. I remember the ending scene where she was looking at the purse(?) in her room which made me believe that it was actually her that crash landed on earth....or maybe it was something that she inherited and was intrigued by her connection to its story.

I think when she said she went to Carbon Creek on a "personal matter" that she went there to retrieve her grandmothers purse. It's the same one her grandmother sold to the patent clerk.

@@alexandersears8538 ah, that makes sense. Thank you

Carbon Creek was such a good episode, imo one of Enterprise's best👌

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Great episode. But my favorites are Dear Doctor, Silent Enemy, The Communicator and Two Days and Two Nights. But Carbon Creeks indeed one really good episode.

Carlsbad Caverns and Yellowstone Park are great places for geologists to visit. She should also have visited White Sands Park in NM. :D

If he lived 150 years more on earth he probably was alive at the same time as the Enterprise's crew.

Another story in its self. Great concept idea

[@patrickschulz2193]

Not quite. 1957 + 150 years = 2107, give or take; Enterprise launched in 2153. Vulcans over the age of 200 are a rarity at best.

@@captainjefferies9047 Name a Vulcan character who dies of old age. :P Granted, I don't see much in the way of solid evidence to hammer it in beyond that, but Sarek gave off the impression of being an old, old man when he died at 203 years old.
