The Good That Men Do.

\\n

When the final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise aired, it was\\npromoted as a \\u201cvalentine\\u201d to the fans. However, it\\u2019s reception left\\nmuch to be desired. Featuring a nonsensical plot and laughable\\nvillains, \\u201cThese Are the Voyages\\u201d was not well-loved. Therefore,\\nwhen it was announced that an Enterprise \\u201crelaunch\\u201d story would\\nundo some of the worst parts of that episode, many Enterprise fans\\nrejoiced!

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan\\nGunther talk the Enterprise novel The Good That Men Do. We discuss\\nthe last episode of Enterprise, the audacity to rewrite canon, the\\nset up, bringing Trip back, lack of vision, prequels are\\ninteresting, a tight story, swiss cheese, head canon, Trip and\\nT\\u2019Pol, foundation of the Romulan War and our ratings.

\\n

In the news we remind everyone that A Pocket Full of Lies is\\nout!
