137: Retcon Love Letter

The Good That Men Do. When the final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise aired, it was promoted as a “valentine” to the fans. However, it’s reception left much to be desired. Featuring a nonsensical plot and laughable villains, “These Are the Voyages” was not well-loved. Therefore, when it was announced that an Enterprise “relaunch” story would undo some of the worst parts of that episode, many Enterprise fans rejoiced! In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther talk the Enterprise novel The Good That Men Do. We discuss the last episode of Enterprise, the audacity to rewrite canon, the set up, bringing Trip back, lack of vision, prequels are interesting, a tight story, swiss cheese, head canon, Trip and T’Pol, foundation of the Romulan War and our ratings. In the news we remind everyone that A Pocket Full of Lies is out! Hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther Production Matthew Rushing (Editor and Producer) Norman C.
