bills. I knew I'd play some guy saying some stuff. Then I got a call saying I needed to go in for a prosthetic fitting. I remember them dripping goop on my face, and I had straws sticking out of my nose. I couldn't eat lunch. I was claustrophobic. I'd go home in tears. This was the job that made me want to quit acting." Filming began October 10, 2003, on the standing Enterprise sets as well as a temporary set which represented Loomis' apartment. This filming continued on the following Monday, where filming was shared with production on both "Twilight" and "Similitude". On October 13, the location filming began for "Carpenter Street" in downtown Los Angeles. As these scenes take place in darkness, filming did not start until dusk and the shoot was conducted overnight. The filming on the first night comprised the scenes where the characters were in 21st century vehicles, and the rest of the week was spent at the Lacy Street Production Center, which had urban settings which could represent the downtown Detroit area. During the following week, the production moved back to the Paramount lot where the standing New York Street backlot was used; this included the use of one area where a scene from Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972) had been shot. The episode finished filming on October 23, including an overlap with the production of "Chosen Realm" on October 22. Reception "Carpenter Street" first aired on November 26, 2003 on the UPN network in the United States. It received a Nielsen rating of 2.9/4 percent, meaning that it was watched by 2.9 percent of all adults and 4 percent of all adults watching television at the time of the broadcast. This was the lowest ratings received by any episode during the third season. This slump had been attributed to the date of the broadcast, which had taken place on the night before Thanksgiving, a day which typically sees a large number of people travel, thereby decreasing the overall ratings of television shows. In her review for the website TrekNation, Michelle Erica Green said that the episode entertained, but was an "ultimately pointless time-travel episode that redeems its existence primarily by not requiring a reset button." She thought that Orser was "superb" as the "repugnant" Loomis, and the episode was "entertaining fluff" but was "warm and witty and well-done." Jamahl Epsicokhan on his
