7. "Enterprise" columns - what I think
|
| The Star Trek Dimension published a column named "The Star Trek Journey", which is written by its webmaster Christian Rühl in case of important events in the (real) world of Star Trek. The following two issues are very extensive and profound comments on "Enterprise", marking two different stages of development - the time immediately after the official announcement, when not very much was known about the ideas behind the fifth series and the musing was mostly based on assumptions, projections and speculations, and the time when lots of information and the first footage has already been avaiable, we have experienced a few more (positive and negative) surprises and therefore my analysis is much more based on facts (though my initial predictions for "Enterprise", the continuity problems and the intended goals of the show, were pretty much correct ;-).
