In production before but airing after the events of September 11, 2001, unintentional parallels existed between the terrorist attacks and ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' from its inception, with the [[Suliban]] taking their name from Afghanistan's Taliban. Following the attacks, some have speculated that [[ENT Season 3|season three]]'s [[Xindi]]-arc was intended to loosely parallel the attacks and "post 9/11" sentiments.

Revision as of 03:52, 22 May 2007
The burning World Trade Center, as seen in the timestream.
The World Trade Center (or WTC) was a multi-building complex built in New York City on Earth in the 20th century. On September 11, 2001, the two main buildings (often referred to as the "Twin Towers") were destroyed in a highly coordinated terrorist attack involving hijacked airplanes.
An image of this horrific spectacle was visible in a panorama of historical images present in the timestream, when Daniels informed Jonathan Archer that time had been altered and set back on course. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
Background
No information beyond the image of the burning towers was given in the episode.
In production before but airing after the events of September 11, 2001, unintentional parallels existed between the terrorist attacks and Star Trek: Enterprise from its inception, with the Suliban taking their name from Afghanistan's Taliban. Following the attacks, some have speculated that season three's Xindi-arc was intended to loosely parallel the attacks and "post 9/11" sentiments. [1]
Parallels have also been drawn between 9/11 and past Star Trek series, with the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine duology "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost" receiving special attention. [2]
According to liner notes included with Dennis McCarthy's Enterprise soundtrack release, the second day of recording for "Broken Bow" took place on September 11, 2001. McCarthy wrote, "I wish to dedicate this album to those who we lost on 9/11/01 and to those men and women who rose to the challenge and showed us that the human spirit will prevail no matter what."
