Anyone know what happened to it? I was friends with her on her facebook page for quite a while. It really was her page and she enjoyed interacting with us fans as much as we enjoyed interacting with her. I even won a contest she ran on the site.
One day she sent out a notice that she was being harassed by someone she had friended with emails whose contents she would not detail except that they were offensive. She then said that her husband would monitor the site.
She unfriended that guy and then posted that he actually asked to be friends again by sending another offensive message. She tried staying active with us but not long after said that she was turning the site over to an assistant to handle and interact on her behalf.
I have not spent much time on facebook and just noticed that she is gone from my friend list, her page is gone, and her posts to my wall and my posts to her wall are all gone from my history. Anyone know why they disappeared? More importantly, does anyone know what happened to her site? -

Why didn't she just put the person on her "blocked list" or just create a fan page? There were other options besides removing her facebook page and hiring a hacker to remove all her wall history.
Anyway, I just finished watching the first season of ENTERPRISE and thought she channelled Leonard Nimoy's interpretation of the Vulcan race well. Her performance was one of the highlights of the series. Her beauty also kept my attention.

filmbuff1974, when you'll see her strong dramatic performance in episode Impulse at the beginning o7ecf third season, you could almost think she's another actress, but Jolene is!
I think about hacker, because all vanished. But I could be wrong. -

Just caught the episode "Impulse". It was a powerful episode and Jolene Blalock's performance as Sub-Commander T'Pol was great. As I've said before, she has channeled the "Vulcan Persona" established in the ORIGINAL SERIES well, something that none of the other Star Trek franchise spin-offs managed to do (IMHO).

No, I think Jolene Blalock accomplished something few other actors/actresses accomplished when playing a Vulcan.
In THE NEXT GENERATION anyone who played a Vulcan just didn't sell it. (Ironically, the the actors playing the Romulans were pretty effective.)
In VOYAGER, Tim Russ did not channel Leonard Nimoy well. For example, when Tuvok started to say something scientific it wouldn't come across right. I tend to be sensitive to the spoken word so I might have been unfair.
In the ORIGINAL SERIES, Leonard Nimoy seemed to have created the Vulcan Persona and whenever other Vulcans appeared in episodes, the performers seemed to follow his lead. So this is sort of the template I use when watching any Star Trek.
It's just my opinion, but I think it took great skill to basically play a feminine counter part to Leonard Nimoy's Vulcan persona.
So the answer is, Jolene Blalock pulled it off well. I also think the writers did a great job (so far, I'm in the beginning of season three) writing her T'Pol's lines.

^ Yes, I agree with you. About Tuvok, honestly, didn't like the character, beside He was a minor role, he seemed too "woodden". It's odd, some Trek fans criticised the way T'pol has been depicted,however T'pol has been a very successful character, it's true she's a beautiful woman, but obviously to play a feminine counterpart of Leonard Nimoy's Vulcan persona you must change something, not always what goes well to a man goes well to a woman too.

^ I add I liked much Enterprise set 100 year before TOS, even to avoid to repeat the same episodes, after hundreds episodes that could happen, best CGI, very good episodes, a talented cast. Many trekkies disliked it because it was out Star Trek canon: honestly I never ever understood what they would have seen, but if ENT is a prequel can't be exactly like TOS etc.
I liked it just was different: a breath of fresh air. -

I consider myself a Trekkie and had no problems with ENTERPRISE except with some of the spaceship designs. But once I got into the series (I'm halfway through season three) I have found it to be better than all the spin-offs with the exception of DEEP SPACE NINE. The series works, it was just unfortunate that it was released so soon after the other spin-offs. The fans found themselves fatigued (myself included) at the time and have only really re-discovered it nearly ten years later.

^ Yes reading here and there I noticed many Trekkies saying the same thing as you. Possibly there have been too much STs at the same time and the fans got indigestion from, but now they're starting to appreciate the good quality of the production. I also read that the Network UPN didn't work well, in many States there were a bad signal or no signal and obviously making matters worse.

Just completed the entire ENTERPRISE series. I agree, the episode "These Are the Voyages" was a rare mistake with the team behind the series. Having the story centered on the characters Riker and Troi looking back on the history of the final pastimes of the crew of the first Enterprise was a mistake by the writers. As far as I'm concerned "Terra Prime" was the final episode.
The series , as a whole, was a great viewing experience.

^ add. Obviously beside the last awful and sadly known episode.
By me I would like one or two episode set in some like 50' movie Forbidden Planet or something about. -
giulene — 13 years ago(February 05, 2013 09:19 AM)
also Terra Prime was a sad episode and many people would have preferred an happy ending some like a Trip and T'Pol wedding, honestly the run to the ending I didn't like it.It could be very different.
It's been a pleasant conversation. Bye. -

In my opinion
anyone who would complain about 'too much star trek on tv' isnt a trekkie lol
also, i loved Enterprise. I wish it had ran longer. As far as TOS, i hated it. I don't even consider it when i talk about star trek. And that is sad as Leonard Nimoy was excellent in it, but the rest of the cast was too slapstick for me. Way too much over acting i guess. TNG, VOY, DS9, ENT .. i love them all. They were more intelligent about the actual science.
I consider Jolene's performance on ENT to be one of the best out of all Star Trek series.
