->'''David:''' Honestly, watching it, I kind of questioned the taste of airing this episode after what happened in Arizona last month. Basically, Senator Martha Kent gets shot at a pro-hero rally.\\
'''Chris''': You know, I honestly didn’t make that connection while I was watching it, but once you mentioned it… Yeah.\\
'''David:''' It’s kind of creepy. I mean, this episode must have been written before then, so I’m willing to assume it’s just an unfortunate coincidence, but in a show made closer to the airdate I’d be more skeptical.

->Although Strange New World was written before 9/11 – it was written before the show was even cast – it also tries to engage with post-9/11 realities. Many of the individual elements of the first season seem bizarrely prescient in this respect...there’s a very heavy undertone of anxiety and paranoia. When Trip rants and raves about T’Pol’s plots and a Vulcan conspiracy, he voices fears that seem to echo the concerns of the “truther” movement. He is suddenly accusing T’Pol of lies and cover-ups, arguing that the death of ''Enterprise'' and the loss of everybody on board would be part of [[FalseFlagOperation some elaborate conspiracy to justify a political end.]]
