I read all the additional scenes at one time, So I'm going to leave one review. I really liked the way that you carried subplots over to other installments. I really enjoyed how your pieces added to how Trip and T'Pol became friends, bit by bit, excellent insight into each of their perspectives on events and interactions. Most added a depth which was lacking in the TV episode. I hope that you keep writing for season two. Thanks for the entertainment.

Amazing story, I just loved it and I can't wait for season 2!

What can I say, other than 'wow'... It was very interesting to see Trip's reaction to the destruction a colony of 3600 people and to the fact that Starfleet has recalled Enterprise. And his more controlled behavior at the bridge (or more precisely put, his emotionally controlled retreat from the bridge) is a nice contrast to his emotional reactions in the first episodes. I love your descriptions of T'Pol's thoughts about the difference in reactions to this event by her and her human crewmates and whether in this time her Vulcan nature a benefit or a liability. I like her desire to not surrender and find the quick solution of this situation and her pragmatic actions. I am glad that you gave us the scene in Trip's cabin after Archer's decision to obey the command and surrender to fate with the talks about future plans. And maybe Trip's declaration of his future plans to devote his life to a family would add the new pulling power to T'Pol's future choice Trip as her mate.
My favorite line in this chapter: "Just because he was asking an unspoken question didn’t mean she needed to provide an answer." This detail nicely shows the big progress in T'Pol's skill to interact with humans.
Thank you again for great idea to add missing TnT scenes to every episode and for its superb implementation! You dedicated a lot of time and effort to this, and that alone is commendable, but the quality of your writing leaves me in awe. I very much enjoy how you place an insight to what goes on inside a specific characters mind and ties it to their surrounding situations, actions, and other events that occur within your tales. It was all so perfectly planned and there was so much emotion and heart put into it. You really put your soul into this, and it certainly shows. I hope your hiatus will brief and both we will able to have Missing scenes of 2-4 seasons and you'll be starting something again some day. Reading your work makes me merry, surprised, thoughtful or sad (depending on the situation) and it never makes me bored. Have a fruitful hiatus, a thoroughly pleased reader.

Alelou I really enjoyed the journey with trip 7T'Pol through season missing scenes stories. This latest chapter is a great ending to your stories. It's nice to see T'Pol's concern for Trip and trying tp persude she needs his help with Archer. And how unhappy she is with the Vulcan High Command that she doesn't wantn to leave Enterprise.Also talking about Canceling her arranged marriage and canceling it will cause her problems has how much she's grown to trust Trip and that theit friendship has deepened as she spent more time getting to know him better.

This was a fitting ending of your chapters dealing with season one.
My favorite scene in Shockwave part one, is when T'Pol and Trip are on the brigde, T'Pol calls Trip and discusses with him what to do with Captain Archers depression. They talk about in a very down-to Earth/Vulcan-fashion and T'Pol concludes that the best way is that Trip would talk to Archer. Teamwork and friendship in one scene.
It looks like that scene is a prelude to this chapter. I like that you go back to Breaking the ice. Trips compliment that T'Pol doesn't have to worry about finding a (Vulcan) husband (they must be blind) is very sweet and shows not only that they have formed a friendship, but also seem to be at ease with each other. (It also proves that Trip doesn't think T'Pol would prefer a non-Vulcan husband). This has been the central theme in your chapter, growing to trust and friendship, so this chapter works great as last chapter. I always had thought their relationship had to be grown in a kind of (strong) friendship, which would explain so actions of them in season 3 and 4.

I think that from all the chapters I liked Rogue Planet was one of the best, because it was so much interesting then this boring episode. I also liked Fusion at lot, Kov is such a nice guy and the scene had a sense of the forboding threat that would hurt T'Pol.
I found the previous chapter a bit too expliciet, but that's me, but overall I really liked the combination of giving insight in each culture, nature and certain habits and humour.

Your chapters were like bonbon, little chocolate miniatures, to be eating one by one, one a day. Given the fact that I am a chocoholic and like some more bonbon and this was part one -hint hint - ... Thanks for the great chapters, Alelou.

This was excellent as usual, however it was bittersweet knowing it was our last fix for a while. I love that Trip never leers at T'Pol. He always blushes when he gives her a compliment. I totally understand real life, but don't leave us hanging too long. Please!!

You did a very nice job of contrasting Trip and T'Pol's reaction to the disaster. And much of the ensuing discussion ended up being about time and family -- what people want out of life. Very interesting. T'Pol is finally beginning to appreciate the urgency Humans feel when it comes to going and doing. For the Vulcans, a delay of 10 or 20 years is a minor thing; for a Human it can be the difference between being included or being excluded.

I enjoyed the discussion of T'Pol marriage prospects. Trip thinks she's a babe and brilliant. What man wouldn't want her? T'Pol is more practical. She understands the societal pressures she will have to overcome to find a suitable mate.

I'm really sorry the first season has come to an end. I'll miss these marvelous added scenes. They add so much to the episodes and to the growing relationship between Trip and T'Pol. I hope your busy schedule will allow you to continue with season 2 someday. Until then, thank you for your efforts and for the enjoyment you gave me -- and will continue to give me each time I reread your added scenes.

What can I say? Thank you for making this awsome Season One companion. You found the right moment in every episode to give a picture of the TnT evolving relationship and they were all in character, all perfectly written, tender, funny, sad...
I really really hope you'll find the time to do season two...and three... and four...

I like that no matter how depressed Trip is himself he was still trying to cheer T'Pol up by the end.

I'm hoping that you do continue the next season of one-shots; seeing as how, it's enjoyable to read.

Plus, it's interesting that Trip takes into account about T'Pol and her potential to find someone; guess on some level, he really does care about her.

Therefore, here's looking forward to more, at some point.
Until then.

You'll work on Season 2 SOMEDAY? Argh. Please dont leave us hanging too long.

I love Trip's comment about Vulcans without mates being blind... :) I'm sad to see this end, but I'm excited for when you will get around to season 2 and all those missings seasons as their relationship begins to grow more. Thanks for writing this!

I've just made my way through all of these in one sitting. They're very well written, funny, and completely in character. I like the way you handle ALL of the characters, not just the ones you like, with respect. I'm not a 'shipper, personally, but I do like the way you are drawing this relationship in character and in context with the way they were portrayed onscreen - moving from distrust and dislike to a gradual understanding and attraction. You seem to have their individual voices down very well; I can hear the dialogue in my head without any problem.

I really like the way you handle the characters voices!

Trip's unspoken thoughts during his sex talk with T'Pol are very priceless and funny.
It is nice to know that Trip estimates the power of his interest in T'Pol as very big: "If this little interlude on Risa could help him stop thinking at inappropriate moments about how hot the first officer was, it would be worth half the ship’s dilithium." And it is sad (although it corresponds entirely to the on-screen facts) that he does not believe in the possibility to have T'Pol as a worthwhile and full-fledged partner. But it is very good that Trip understood in the end of this chapter what he might want from his potential mate.
The image of T'Pol's reaction in the end is very impressive and catchy. I like also that she gives a sound advice to Trip about the usefulness for him to imagine himself being a captain and to try to find the better solution of the complex issues and situations.
And I fully agreed with T'Pol's displeasure with Archer's decisions in "Desert Crossing". Come to think of it, he may be right in "Fallen Hero", because he has overall responsibility for the welfare only of his crew. I love V'Lar but she was intransigent at first (she divulged classified information him eventually) and if Archer returned her to Mazarites, the firefight would not occur.

My favorite piece of this chapter is the next:
"How he loved that eyebrow. He’d even stood in front of the mirror and tried to do it himself, but his forehead had immediately developed folds that reminded him of an antique washboard or a basset hound, so he figured it wasn’t a particularly flattering look on him. But on her it was just so damned cute … even when she wielded it as The Raised Eyebrow of Death and directed it entirely at him."
