Enterprise and 9/11
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:50 pm
Hi,
I want to thank KTR for his 9/11 memorial avatar.
Did you know that Enterprise is coming up on it's 10-year anniversary? Enterprise first aired September 26, 2001. That was 15 days after 9/11. And as we all know, the course of the show was greatly influenced by that event in terms of plots and themes. The Xindi attack on Florida, of course, was very 9/11-ish.
Here is a link to "The 25 most moving 9/11/11 front pages": http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/top- ... -memories/
The last one really struck me. I wrote a Seasons 3 fanfic in which I referenced the rebuilt World Trade Center as a sign of hope at the end of my story. Well there it is going up! It exists now, although it didn't when I wrote my fic. In fact, as soon as I get a chance, I'm going to go back and edit my story so the height of my new World Trade Center matches the actual plans for this tower. Anyway, yesterday was a horrible day, but in my googling I learned that the new World Trade Center is almost back up! That is one hopeful note ten years later.
Anyone else have some Enterprise/ 9-11 comments to make?
