the truth behind Enterprise

Post by Typhonis 1 »

I have reasoned order from chaos and decpihed the truth of Enterprise.

Enterprise is a 24th century holonovel about space exploration before the formation of the Federation however the writers information and viewpoints have tainted it.

You mean the seven seasons of Voyager, right?

Yes a docudrama with the producers biases in it. After all they have few records from the 22nd century,according to TNG, and he took some creative liscence.

No. I mean the episode of Voyager where the Doc makes a holonovel of the events of Voyager which is heavily exaggerated and biased to make it unlike what actually happened.

Was that the one where the Maquis try and take over the ship? I thought Tuvok made that.

That's an interesting theory. The Holo-Novel idea would explain why there are so many continuity errors, intentional or unintentional.

No. That was a training sim Tuvok made.

The one I'm talking about is in the later seasons when they had established contact with the Federation and the Doc had a contract to write a novel about the exploits of Voyager in the Delta Quadrant.

I just realized that this makes me seem like I watched Voyager a lot. I didn't. I just have a good memory for this sort of thing. No, really.

A wildly inaccurate work of historical fiction. Interesting take on it. Perhaps Nog is the author.

So they created Enterprise. And lo and behold, it does get them ratings. When someone sees the beginning of an episode, they drop dead.

Across the world, millions of TVs are playing, because their dead owners can't switch them off.

Most historical fiction is wildly inaccurate. Normal history is boring, since the federation is filled with artistic types and marketing people, thing of all the changes you could do to make it interesting (ie make random changes for the hell of it)
