Ah, But Are They Fictional Holographic Shows, Or “Historical Documents”?
Michael King reports on a strong rumor about the final episode of Enterprise, in which Bobby Ewing steps out of the shower and… oh wait, wrong show.
Allegedly Enterprise will end with Troi and Riker having been watching it in the holodeck. This leads to an “it never happened that way” option, which some people have been speculating about all along, with the absurd temporal angles that were thrown into Enterprise early and often.
However, it also could be used as a way to say “it was real but some of it didn’t happen that way,” including the rumored death of Trip in the final episode. So perhaps it’s not as much of a pissing on the fans as could be, even if it’s an attempt at it. Berman and Braga are the writers for that episode, after having kept hands off the rest of the season, which is why it’s been so stellar.
Since they are attempting to ditch Berman from any future Trek involvement if it ever gets revived, as it will, eventually, he has every reason to have a fit and make that harder. Since he is rumored to be trying to write an 11th movie, he also has reason to ditch Enterprise and render it fiction, or partial fiction, within the Trek universe. If Paramount has the sense to stick to their guns, such a movie that soon, by him, will not happen.
But… Troi and Riker? Jeez.
HAHA!
Fake but accurate holodeck programs!
