Talk:Dead Stop

Borg Speculation
The section is of little value. There is no basis for the reference to the 20th century, as the Borg had no presence in the Alpha quadrant until the 24 century, apart from the temporally displaced ones and they had to send a signal back to the Delta quadrant to inform them of Earth's location. Borg history predates V'ger (unless V'ger was temporally displaced twice). There is no basis or motive for the claim that Borg may lie about their history. Apart from maybe the first paragraph, which is of some limited value, the section should be removed.--Jeffro77 07:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I was wondering what this was about so I looked it up (diff). It was total fan speculation, original research, and the above editor only removed part of it instead all of it, but later editors remove the rest of it. -- 109.76.150.214 (talk) 01:29, 4 May 2021 (UTC)


 * With Travis's "assimilation" by the station, one can't help thinking of the Borg. Unlike the Borg, though, the station didn't seem Swedish. – AndyFielding (talk) 08:41, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Arguably the clean decor of the station does have an certain quality reminiscent of a Swedish flat pack furniture company but Borg puns are just not funny.
 * I'm fairly sure the writers said that no connection to the Borg collective was intended, but fans will always speculate. -- 109.79.171.252 (talk) 20:16, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * AndyFielding and IP 109.x, some of my favorite editors, together on one Trek talk page. 109.x, I'd give you a personal shout-out praising your exopedian tendencies, but your IP address keeps changing. 70.163.208.142 (talk) 11:28, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Enterprise - S2E04 - Dead Stop.jpg
Image:Enterprise - S2E04 - Dead Stop.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

 * It would be great if this article could include an image again. There are several important images that could greatly enhance readers understanding of the episode and they would be either the exterior or interior of the station. A well chosen images of the exterior of the station either reconfiguring its shape or repairing the Enterprise would help illustrate VFX that were considered high quality for a tv show at the time, and awards worthy. An image of the interior would show the clean white set design that some have compared to 2001 A Space Odyssey. -- 109.79.65.173 (talk) 14:04, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Ratings
Variety article about TV ratings for this episode, it was a highpoint for UPN. The Variety article doesn't mention episode titles so you have to cross check it by date a by another source of ratings, which takes time and is a hassle and I don't want to spend more time on it right now than I already have since I wasn't even looking to find more sources for this episode. Maybe someone else will take the sources and turn them into nice readable prose, or maybe I eventually come back and add it myself. -- 109.76.150.214 (talk) 01:21, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Dammit, I messed that up. Those are the ratings for A Night in Sickbay not this episode. Too tired for this. -- 109.76.150.214 (talk) 01:36, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I found the zap2it page for this episode and the ratings were 5.4/8 but please note carefully that those are the fast overnight ratings, not the final ratings compiled a few days later which are different. The Variety article for this week only mentions that Buffy and Enterprise were "hitting season highs in key demos." -- 109.79.85.185 (talk) 05:51, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Media Week, Programming Insider column by Marc Berman which mentions this episode -- 109.79.84.219 (talk) 04:27, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

I added the ratings to the article but did not add any significant commentary or context for those ratings. -- 109.79.65.173 (talk) 14:04, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
