Yeah, well, Hoshi was afraid of everything.

True, but she was depicted as unusual in disliking the transporter despite Archer's own intense dislike of it at the start of the series. Bones being seen as unusual is one thing - it was tried and tested technology by that point. Hoshi's dislike, on the other hand, should have been the rule rather than the exception.

So true, and they could have had so much fun with everyone being warry of the transporter.

I know, I was agreeing with you. My point was that she was unusual for disliking the transporter, but that didn't mean much when you take into account the fact that she was scared of her own shadow.

Yea after they saw someone get fused to a bunch of leaf litter they though "oh well it wont happen again"

There should have been a lot more transporter accidents, IMO.

It shouldnt have existed.

What, the show, or the transporters on the show?

I think if they were going to include them at all, they should've shown up in season two or three.

The show and B&B.

And used in a tacticle capacity until they, or at least their enemys began using energy shields for regualr defense.

It would have been a good idea to have a transporter on the ship, and used as regularly as in the other series - for cargo. That would have allowed them to move kit around quickly, while emphasising the fact that the equipment was still very new.

Exactly.

Perhaps a episode about Transporter issues would have been good to emphasize the new-ness (god terrible grammar there). And not just the weird transporter pattern ghost thing.

I'd still consider it to soon.

The only time I could accept it is if Enterprise got it as a reward for helping the Vulcans out in season 3.

Reward from Starfleet or from the Vulcans; I don't really see the Vulcans giving away tech.
