I'll Find a Way

When it first came out, Rachel Yamagata's CD, Happenstance, was one I frequently played. I bought the CD for Worn Me Down, but soon fell in love with I'll Find a Way. The song is about a woman yearning to continue a relationship that, judging by the lyrics, is in some way doomed. While I'm a huge fan of Trip, I have issues with T'Pol. I believe the audience was supposed to feel sympathetic towards this woman, who is drawn to a man who in many ways is all wrong for her. But I felt that, after seducing him, T'Pol toyed with Trip in a way a true friend would not. Then there's the question of what exactly happened between the episodes of Terra Prime and These Are the Voyages. The former ends with Trip and T'Pol clinging to each other, mourning the death of their daughter. The latter tells us their relationship broke up soon after and that while they obviously still had feelings for each other, they never again acted on them. With that in mind, how might T'Pol have reacted to Trip's death? That's what this vid is about.
