History Characters / SFDebrisStarTrekEnterprise

* MoralSociopathy: If you step back and look at his actions across the series, he is actually even scarier than on a per-episode basis. Which is not to say he cannot be truly creepy in a single episode. In "Similitude", Trip has managed to get himself critically wounded through his usual boating-based engineering skills. Never one to pass on performing illegal and unethical medical procedures, Phlox grows a clone of trip that [[CloningBlues will only live long enough for Phlox to do a little tissue-harvesting]]. That the clone is fully-sentient and even possesses all of Trip's memories is a minor detail, as is the fact that it might be possible to halt the clone's accelerated aging. But Phlox cannot be bothered to even consider that because it is as much fringe science as, for example, growing a human clone from an alien grub. Plus he was busy, what with having one whole patient in sickbay, and it's not as if he might form any emotional attachments having raised the clone from infancy (and even bottle-feeding it)!

* GoneHorriblyWrong: After Archer left them to replace the Valakians, the Menk were abducted and enslaved by the Ferengi; eventually, they overpowered their captors and flew off on their own. Surrounded by technology they didn't really understand and free food to gorge on, the end result is that the Menk became the [[PlanetOfDunceCaps Pakleds]].

* TaughtByTelevision: Archer's behavior suggests that he learned everything he "knows" about statecraft from Creator/ChrisFarley movies and [[BastardBoyfriend Pick-Up Artist]] manual. ("These Are the Voyages...," "Worst of the Worst")

* UpToEleven: In keeping with ''ENT's'' unofficial theme of "making ''Voyager'' look good", you can safely assume that every mission that went wrong on VOY happens about twice as much, and everything that went right happens ''half'' as much. To illustrate this, Archer very nearly strands his crew 300 years--beating out Janeway's 'mere' 70 years--from home by refusing to apologize to an alien. For his dog peeing on their sacred trees. ("A Night In Sickbay")

** Kirk knows that ion storms are deadly phenomena meant to be avoided. ("Court Martial") So of course Archer decides to fly right into one. ("Fight or Flight")

* DesignatedHero: Even worse than before. Chuck can't even find any major features to redeem him like he sometimes could with Janeway. A review of the episode [[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS03E01TheXindi "The Xindi"]] expanded on this with Chuck calling Janeway CrazyIsCool while considering Archer [[InsaneAdmiral just plain crazy]].
** He also compare their situation in the episode [[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS02E05ANightInSickbay "A Night In Sickbay"]], Janeway stranded her crew because she was in a tense situation and under time pressure, Archer would have stranded his crew because of his hate of Kreetassans and his own ego.

** {{Asexuality}}: Although in seriousness, he does suggests Dominic Keating's [[WordOfDante own pet theory]] isn't too far off the mark, that Reed's lack of any romantic involvement was due to him being simply [[SociallyAwkwardHero a lonely man]] who finds it hard to make connections with others and disproportionally magnifies the very few attachments he actually manages to forge.

* DesignatedHero: Even worse than before. Chuck can't even find any major features to redeem him like he sometimes could with Janeway. A review of the episode [[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS03E01TheXindi "The Xindi"]] expanded on this with Chuck calling Janeway CrazyAwesome while considering Archer [[InsaneAdmiral just plain crazy]].

* DesignatedHero: Even worse than before. Chuck can't even find any major features to redeem him like he sometimes could with Janeway.

* PhonyDegree: He keeps getting complaint letters from the the Denobulan Science Academy because he claims to be a physician, despite his only "degree" being a "doctorate" in "surgery-ology" from the Acme Diploma Company of Ferenginar ("The Breach").

* OnlySaneMan: Perhaps the most competent member of ''Enterprise's'' crew -- and hence, clinically depressed ("Shuttlepod One"). When the PowerTrio are taken hostage in "The Andorian Incident", the crew of the ''Enterprise'' is hopelessly confused because they suddenly find themselves under the command of a ''rational'' officer who does things like scan nearby space for possible hostile alien ships and then proceeds to assess what information they have on said hostiles so as to actually form a tactical response plan, all without repeated digressions about how much Vulcans suck.

* InTheBlood: The ''plomeek'' doesn't fall from the tree, if you catch our drift. During an extended stay on 1950's Earth, her ancestor T'Mir's highhandedness and brazen disregard for some trapped miners was beyond the pale even for her Vulcan cohorts ("Carbon Creek")

* PhonyDegree: He keeps getting complaint letters from the the Denobulan Science Academy because he claims to be a physician despite his only "degree" being a "doctorate" in "surgery-ology" from the Acme Diploma Company of Ferenginar ("The Breach").
