Cogito, Ergo Sumana for 2003 September 9

# 09 Sep 2003, 04:52PM: Author: I'm getting published in Salon. Later tonight my State-of-the-Trek piece on Star Trek Enterprise will go up in the Arts and Entertainment section. I saw it in pre-publication form, panicked and thought it was awful, then calmed down after reading a few funny bits to Leonard.

I'm pretty nervous, as this is probably going to be the most-read piece I've ever written. It's like being on stage but you don't even have to be there for the audience to throw rotten tomatoes at you.

Here goes.

"Enterprise" doesn't have a gimmick. It has a premise, an interesting question to answer: How did humanity go from the bottom to the top of the galactic totem pole?....isolated low points can't mar this show's accomplishment: After hundreds of hours of Trek movies and TV episodes, "Enterprise" is making the franchise new again, creating fresh stories and possibilities.
