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!
