    Why she’s only credited by her first name: because she asked and Mike McMahan agreed even though he didn’t know why.

    The creator of Lower Decks wrote her a letter explaining how important her character was to him and she read the script and enjoyed it. She also asked if she could just go by Jolene in this, which he was cool with.

    Can we just keep lower decks going? I hate that it’s been cancelled, it’s such a good show, I’m not really a trek fan at all and I love the hell out of it.

      The article says:

      she’s well-loved and considered one of the best characters in Enterprise

      So I think you might be with the majority on this.

      None of the actors were the problem with Enterprise. Except maybe Scott Bakula because he was too well known.

        Bakula just hit the Archer casting too perfectly. The man just exudes boy scout, it’s what made Quantum Leap work too.

        Can you explain what you are enjoying about it? I just dropped it about 4 or 5 episodes into the final season because I just couldn’t keep slogging through.

        Between the baby oil lathering decontamination scenes and overall lack of believable or interesting characters and plot lines, I find it to be the least enjoyable Trek I’ve ever watched (so far) aside from maybe TOS.

        Help me see your perspective, where it is enjoyable. And please don’t even mention the intro.

            If you believe in the final episode, they failed, hard. Otherwise, I’ve grown to like it, found the beard from the latter half of season 3. Shame the post 9/11 dark shift killed it before it could get its seven. Feel much the same about Lower Decks, too soon.
