In the 100th issue of Dreamwatch Magazine, Connor Trinneer talked about Enterprise, Trip, and some of the challenges he has faced on Enterprise. Below are some of the comments:

How would you characterise Trip's relationship with Archer and T'Pol?

The relationship with Archer I sense is one between old friends. Archer trusts Trip and brought him along and relies on him as a confidante. I like that we sometimes see them as a couple of guys hanging out, and it's been great to work with Scott like that. The relationship with T'Pol has been great because I get under her skin as much as anybody can get under a Vulcan's skin. Oftentimes sparks fly when we're dealing with each other, and that's always fun.

What have you made of the Temporal Cold War subplot and where's that headed in season two? It seems as if it's almost like the conspiracy arc on The X-Files, where it played out over a long period of time, some of it being made up on the fly and the actors having no idea how it will play out...

I don't know the big picture. We all wondered and we continue to wonder what the arc of the show will be. We're not privy to that information. But I like the Temporal Cold War arc because it leaves a lot open for things to occur and it leaves us directions to go in. It, no pun intended, opens up the universe to us. I think we've just got the preface to that so far on the show. We (the characters) don't have a great deal of information about what's going on there. Again, I think that gives us and the writers the opportunity to come up with all sorts of things, because we'll have too.
