[edit] Loomis' paper

Does anyone have this episode digital (DVD)? I think I just noticed something as I saw it on TV (we're a little behind on the Netherlands; it's not a rerun). in the first scene we see the guy comming home with a paper. Except I think the pages were blenk. Could someone check this out? Thanks! -- Redge | Talk 21:45, 16 Aug 2004 (CEST)

The item he's holding is not a newpaper, it's one one of the folders with (presumably) patient information in it. -- Anonymous 14:53, 7 March 2007

Should this article not be called Carpenter Street (episode)? -- rebelstrike 16:24, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Detroit looks awfully Canadian, eh?

Why is it that the only black man in Detroit is a cop? At least DS9 shows New Orleans a little more realistic. This is like depicting Africa with nothing but British people.--Mike Nobody 03:59, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nitpick

This episode has a single major flaw in it that is unmentioned previously nor is it ever brought into effect again. In 2152 Archer being brought to the 30th century automatically changed the future causing the Federation never to be born. (ENT: "Shockwave"). Also again in the same year, Archer simply stated that "time is realtive to these people". (ENT: "Future Tense"). Yet somehow in this epsiode Daniel is able to say that "it takes time for changes to ripple through the timeline" as an explaination as to why he hasn't shown up sooner. However this rule about time being realtive is not native to Star Trek: Enterprise, it is used several times in Star Trek: Voyager too using the Captain Braxton storylines.

Removed the nitpick, as per discussion at Ten Forward. --From Andoria with Love 21:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, the wheelchair man claims he "doesn't want to miss Conan (Late Night With Conan O'Brien)", which airs on NBC; a possible reference to the network that aired the original Star Trek series.

• In scene in which Loomis offers T'Pol a french fry and she declines, Loomis retorts "Have it your way". This may be a reference to the Burger King slogan in common use at the time the episode was made.

Removed these two as they both say "may be a reference" – Morder 20:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

• The room number of Loomis' victim in the wheelchair, Lawrence Strode, is 602. This may be a reference to the 602 Club that is mentioned in numerous episodes.
• There are many references to the 1978 horror film Halloween. The title, and street name, is a reference to director John Carpenter. Loomis is a reference to Dr. Sam Loomis played by Donald Pleasence. Lawrence Strode is a reference to Laurie Strode played by Jamie Lee Curtis. Loomis talks about a "Mr. Myers," a reference to the infamous killer Michael Myers. Loomis drives an old station wagon much like the one Myers drives.

• When Archer asks Daniels why he couldn't just go back to 2004 himself, Daniels says that it takes time for the changes to ripple throughout the timeline. However, when Daniels takes Archer from the turbolift in ENT: "Shockwave", the destruction of Earth and Federation seemed instantaneous.
