With a plot like that, they should adjust the airtime to mid/late afternoon!

That's too bad.  Paramount can't get good ratings with good acting and scripting - so they "have to" resort to this sort of... gimick.  Spend more time on a good story!

Yeah!!! That never would have happened on Kirk's Enterprise. <snicker>

As for family show, I personally feel it is more appropriate for children to see physical affection than violence any day.

Like this wasn't coming since Day One.  Half of Trip and T'Pol's scenes could have 70s porn music in the background...

"Oh no, we have to go in the decon chamber."

"Take off your clothes.  I'll get the decontaminate gel and the body lotion."

"Here, I'll take off my shirt and your can rub my 'pressure points.'"

See?  Works, doesn't it?

Scifi shows always have that kind of content. I wish they would replace all the sexual content with ship-to-ship combat!

hey its not like this is the first time a trek series resorted to some form of sexuality to increase ratings for a show.  Like say the adding of seven to voyager.  now that is a pure example of the borg doing something right.  lol  man i would love to have been there when they decided to put a new character on the show to improve ratings.

producer "we need a new character some one that will draw interest back to the show"

writer " hmmmm  well how about the borg  we have that whole borg story arc coming up,  and the fans do love the borg"

trekky adviser  "  well if it is a borg it will need to be deasimilated  or at least an individual....  how about hew,  he is a borg and we did want to get some one from a previos series"

producer " hmmm  this hew fellow  what actor plays him and was he a popular character?"

writer "  you cant be serious hews diolage sucked  i refuse to do it, and besides who wants to watch a uncourdinated borg"

producer "your right, what we need is sex appeal, we need a female borg.....  some one to make all the teen aged boys watch the show"

trekky adviser   (thinks to himself) this will make a mockery of the show i will not allow it. to use sex to get ratings on star trek.  how wrong.

writer  "hmmmmmmm .......... i wouldnt have used the word watched......"

producer " yup that is what we will do,  we will hire a drop dead gorgeous woman and put her in a skin tight suit"

trekky adviser (thinks to himself)  omg when does the first episode come on i cant wait to watch.............

.........

lol just a fly on the wall,  actually the heck when they decided to do it.  i wish i was there when they did the auditions  

and every episode has its moments where some one was doing something naughty with some one else.

data and yar
riker and alien nurse
spock and romulan commander
kirk and nearly every woman on the show.
jane way and holographic bartender
seven and harry kim (dream)
seven and chakota
seven and the doctor (o come on we all know they did  )
worf and his first wife
worf and jadsia dax
worf and desri dax

and the list goes on..  heck even picard got it on a few times..   lets face it sex is a part of star trek and just think of all those future trekies that will be watching more often once they chetch a glimps of t'pols goodies

speaking of trek not being a family show any more, the rating for the last episode of enterprise was tv-14 for violence... that was probably just that episode, but...

Crusher was FILMED kissing another woman, but the scene was cut prior to airing.  I believe it was also a Trill - the one who took over Riker's body and ended up in a female host at the end.  This was the episode that introduced the Trill.

I'm all for seeing more and for seeing more of T'POL.

They showed Picard's butt in the episode where he is captured by a Cardassian and interrogated. That is the same episode with my favorite quote from the series.

Picard: THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!

TOS and TNG may have had sexual content, but it came off as tasteful, this looks like ST is moving away from that, besides vulcans don't do that sort of thing, that's what pon-far is for. It might be explainable if T'Pol were said to be young and less capable of emotional control than other vulcans we have seen, but I wouldn't buy that. All in all this story sounds a little
