A/T'P Moments Cold Front - Oasis

Cold Front

T'Pol has a conversation with Archer shortly after his injury.

Silent Enemy

T'Pol talks to Archer while he's out of uniform.



Later, A/T'P have another conversation in sickbay.

Dear Doctor

The picture above is from the ethics discussion A/T'P had.

Shadows of P'Jem

There are so many moments it gets it's own page: Shadows of P'Jem Page.

Fusion

T'Pol visits Archer's readyroom and they have a conversation about his book.

Archer: Look familiar? This was my first astronomy book. My father got it for me on my eighth birthday. I used to stare at the cover for hours. The Arachnid Nebula. Who'd ever thought I would get to see it in person? It's less than a light-year away. We'll be there in a few hours.

T'Pol?: "From the library of Admiral Johnny Archer"?

Archer: I had high hopes when I was a kid.

Later after they've met and had dinner with a few crewmembers of the Vulcan ship, T'Pol comes to Archer's ready room and they discuss T'Pol's reluctance to interact with the Vulcan crew. Archer has good intentions, but unfortunately one member of the Vulcan crew hides his violent nature.

Archer: I thought... you'd be spending a little more time getting to know our guests.

T'Pol: I've been busy.

Archer: Hmm. Seems to me like... you've been busy avoiding them. I can understand that you might not approve of what they're trying to do, but... for all we know they're onto something.

T'Pol: That's unlikely.

Archer: Is it? Eight years. That's a pretty good track record.

T'Pol: Just because they smile and eat chicken doesn't mean they've learned to master their emotions.

Archer: Maybe I'm just relieved to finally meet some Vulcans who aren't giving me a hard time. Then again... if they have found this balance...

T'Pol: They're not the first ones to attempt this, Captain. Others have tried to reintegrate their emotions. They all failed. What they're doing is dangerous.

Archer: They don't seem very dangerous to me. But I... could be wrong. I can't order you to spend time with them but I would encourage you to keep an open mind.


Archer has a talk with Trip about T'Pol and Tolaris. Trip brings up jealousy but Archer quickly diverts the topic away from that.

Archer: What about this Tolaris fellow?

Trip: Well, I haven't really gotten to know him. He seems kind of quiet, though. A little sullen.

Archer: T'Pol's been spending a lot of time with him lately.

Trip: Is that a problem?

Archer: Two days ago she couldn't wait to get these people off the ship. I practically had to order her to work with him, now... they're almost inseparable.

Trip: If I didn't know better I'd say you were a little jealous. If I was the only human on a ship full of Vulcans and we ran into an Earth vessel I'd be spending as much time with them as I could. She likes being around her own kind. Who doesn't?

Archer: Well, let me know how it goes with Kov. Yes, sir.



My thoughts: I hated Tolaris for what he did and was glad when Archer stood up for T'Pol and confronted Tolaris. I like the conversation with Trip. I think Archer was jealous of the time T'Pol spent with Tolaris. He also sounded suspicious of the Tolaris earlier in his convo with Trip and protective of T'Pol.

Rogue Planet

T'Pol comes to Archer's tent to have a conversation with him about the woman he's been seeing on the planet.

Archer: T'Pol. Come in. I saw her again... near the thermal vents. She spoke to me.

T'Pol: What did she say?

Archer: She said she... needed me. I think... someone may be trying to hurt her.

T'Pol: I believe you should reconsider returning to Enterprise.

Archer: And have Dr. Phlox take a look at me? There are no psychotropic compounds here. I wasn't hallucinating, and I wasn't dreaming.

T'Pol: So, the only logical conclusion is that she is a real human woman?

Archer: I don't know what she is. I know it's not possible for her to be human but she's appearing to me for a reason and I'm going to figure out what it is.

T'Pol: How?

Archer: I'm going to find her.

T'Pol: I'll go with you.

Archer: No.

T'Pol: A well-armed hunter was nearly killed today. It would be foolish to go into the jungle alone.

Archer: I have to. She's chosen to communicate with me. I don't know why. But I don't think she'd reveal herself if anyone else was around.

T'Pol: Is that your only reason for going by yourself?

Archer: What?

T'Pol: With respect, Captain I wonder if you would be so determined to find this apparition if it were a scantily-clad man.


My thoughts: I love T'Pol's last line in this scene. T'Pol comes off as protective of Archer in this scene. I think that's partly to do with her being the first officer and partly to do with their fledgling friendship.

Acquistion

Earlier in the episode Archer tells the Ferengi unflattering things about T'Pol to dissuade them from taking her. T'Pol remembers what he said when she goes to free Archer.

Archer: Do you have the key?

T'Pol: "Not that interesting. No sense of humor. Always complaining?"

Archer: I'll make it up to you.

T'Pol: How?

Archer: Five bars of gold? Open these things, Sub-Commander. That's an order.


My thoughts: I like T'Pol teasing Archer in this scene. I would like to know how he made it up to her.
