PostMon Jul 15, 2002 11:35 am    Why Does Captain Archer Seem To Get Beat Up Alot?

I find it interesting that in many episodes of Enterprise Archer gets his ass kicked. If my memory serves, every Captain since Kirk could hold their own in a bar room Brawl. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Archer is a pushover by any means. I'd just like him to win a fight here and there. Am I wrong? Let me know.

it makes him look like a captain who is not always on the ship, he goes on away missions and gets shot and starts fights, hes a cool captain

Yeah, its good to see a captain who actually goes on away missions and stuff, pretty much only Janeway did that

2 reasons:

1: he goes down to most of the planets they visit,
and
2: he's frankly not the best diplomat
