Entry: 'Star Trek: Enterprise' – The Television Series - A5680857
Author: GodBen-The god of doors, ducks, eunuchs, and car dealerships ( O-> ) - U518809

Well, here it is, the final piece of the puzzle. I know that I still have some work to do with editing the other entries, but I decided that I had better finish writing all the entries before I go back to uni and I don't have as much time.

"Denubulans are a humanoid species that have peculiar head-ridges that makes their foreheads look like their backsides"

And how many Denobulan backsides have you seen?

I really hope this entry doesn't hit the front page before Enterprise finishes airing on Channel 4 - I skipped the plot section but hit a MAJOR spoiler further down the page. My own fault, I know, but I've been enjoying this series of entries and I couldn't resist this one.

Incidentally, as a non-trekkie I've always been suspicious of Trip's remarkable resemblace to a young G.W.Bush. I'm certain it's relevant, but I've no idea why, or to what...

I think that's the reason I've never watched Enterprise.

The Premise's --> The Premises

You should explain the term story-arc, as I've never heard it before. This use of the word 'arc' is not in my dictionary.

There should not be a space before the tag.

an unknown shadow-man known by the fans as 'future guy' -- this reads badly because the guy is both unknown and known. Perhaps say:

an unknown shadow-man referred to by the fans as 'future guy'

"makes their foreheads look like their backsides" -- perhaps leave out the word "their".

sound (and look) like as if aliens --> sound (and look) as if aliens

nobody, not even the writers, knows who he is -- this sounds clumsy because of "writers" beside "knows". Perhaps rewrite it as "nobody knows who he is, not even the writer".

(there's a special exception to the date rule which allows September 11th to remain as it is )

Footnotes:

an allegory for the Taliban -- you could be really nasty and add "although they weren't originally set up using assistnace from Earth"

Sorry, I meant to say:

nobody knows who he is, not even the writers

Where you say 'Erik Jendresen, writer of Band of Brothers' - that isn't quite right.

Stephen Ambrose wrote Band of Brothers the book. Jendresen wrote (and produced?) the television mini-series.

The Beeb actually has a site for Band of Brothers:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/bandofbrothers/

Aside from that minor quibble, nice entry though like most, I didn't watch more than a few episodes of this final(?) Star Trek series.

I would say its worth mentioning the theme song, cause that is a reason that a lot of people took a dislike to it.

Personally , I only really started getting into it when the xindi arrived, and haven't seen the final seris yet.

>>I skipped the plot section but hit a MAJOR spoiler further down the page<<

If you're talking about the death of a certain character, it's really not that important. If you're talking about the death of another certain character, it's really not that important. If you're talking about a certain character being a member of a certain organisation, it's really not that important. In fact, most of the fourth season I couldn't take seriously as it seemed like a build-up to a fifth-season that I knew wasn't going to be.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congratulations!

Huzzah!

Live long and prosper

Congratulations a third time!!

Congratulations again!

Not having contributed to the PR of this one ('Enterprise' isn't finished over here, and I don't want to be spoilered), I'd still like to congratulate you!
