Enterprise Followup
Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2003 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
At least one reader disagreed with my piece about Enterprise, arguing that Enterprise simply is not canon. One explanation, which does make a kind of sense: this is the timeline as changed after Zefram Cochrane met the NCC-1701-D in the film First Contact. Another explanation, favored by cynical fans: there will be a Big Reset Button narrative cop-out.
I heard the new theme song last night, which is WORSE than the previous one! I do not want to listen to a country song while watching Star Trek, Roddenbery's vision of "Wagon Train to the stars" notwithstanding.
And then I feel awful for even caring about the theme song to some TV show. God, I still can't believe those terrorist attacks two years ago. Sometimes I remember and have to remind myself that yes, this is the world we live in.
