March 25 Information
Is the episode title Carpenter Street (Star Trek: Enterprise) explained anywhere in the episode? I haven't seen the episode and the article doesn't say anything about it. I'm wondering if it might be a reference to Rodion Raskolnikov. Carpenter Street ("S. Pereulok") is the street in St. Petersburg that Raskolnikov lived on, iirc. I half remember this bit of trivia from, iirc, Le Ton beau de Marot. 2601:648:8202:96B0:386A:A40C:EBB1:ACC0 ( talk) 08:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- The article mentions part of the plot taking place on Carpenter Street in Detroit. There is an actual Carpenter Avenue in Detroit. ←

- I haven't seen the episode recently enough to remember this detail, but the
episode description at
Memory Alpha specifically mentions that the story centers around an abandoned factory that's on Carpenter St.; it also says that the episode contains multiple references to
John Carpenter's 1978 movie
Halloween, including names of characters from the movie as well as Carpenter's own name. --

- Also note that "S. Pereulok" simply means "S. Street" (i.e. a street whose name begins with the letter S).

- Do I remember right that Hofstadter said "S. Pereulok" and "K. Most" represent real places (with the same initials) that would be recognized by anyone familiar with S.Pet. of the time? —

- I don't know about Hofstadter's book but Russian Wikipedia says there are multiple candidates for S Lane and K Bridge, but one seems a lot more likely to me than others when looking on the map. It seems that Dostoyevsky helped the matter by explicitly naming a nearby square. 89.172.8.37 ( talk) 09:10, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
