Finale "Zero Hour" Revealed, Plus 'T'Pol' in "E2," and Season Four Surprises (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 12:51, 3 March 2004 / Enterprise

The latest issue of the STAR TREK Communicator has been delivered to subscribers, and according to one TrekWeb reader, producer Rick Bermam reveals all sorts of tidbits for the remaining episodes this season in his STAR TREK Update with Dan Madsen.

Foremost, the magazine reveals that the title of the third season finale, airing May 26th, is "Zero Hour." Berman hints that Vaughn Armstrong's 'Admiral Forrest' and Gary Graham's 'Soval' could possibly play a role in the season-ending episode.

Berman suggests we'll learn a reason for 'T'Pol's strange behavior this season: a future episode may reveal that she has become addicted to small doses of Trellium-D, the substance known to cause instanity in Vulcans from "Impulse."

Of the upcoming episode "E2" Berman confirms speculation that the NX-01 will encounter a future Starship Enterprise. Apparently the ship will be three generations from the future, but itself involved in some sort of time-travel hijinks. In an appearance on ON AIR WITH RYAN SEACREST today, Jolene Blalock made reference to playing T'Pol 200 years-old and with prosthetics, perhaps a spoiler for this episode.

Finally, Berman says the season finale this year will not be a cliffhanger per se, but that elements of the Xindi storyline may continue into season four. The exec also suggests that next season -- as yet not officially announced -- will continue to involve arc storytelling and not merely standalone episodes.

Stay tuned to TrekWeb for quotes and more information from the issue as they become available. Look for issue #149 of the STAR TREK Communicator on newsstands and in your mailboxes soon!

Sounds great, all of it. I'm glad to see they've come up with a reasonable (and surprising) explanation for T'Polls behaviour. Now it makes sense! :o)

Looking forward to see all the season 3 episodes I've missed (when there are no DVD's.. I'm cut off)

Enterprise from three generations in the future ? | Report this post to moderator
By: Grand Admiral Thrawn (Odo's file, contact) @ 19:46:10 on Mar 03, 2004

So let see;
1701(first generation-all captains incuding)
1701-B(second generation)
1701-C(third generation)

So we would most likely see Enterprise C(from Yesterday's enterprise). I have the episode with me and the uniforms and hairdesings look very similar to what we saw in that episode on enterprise C. Intresting....
Or its a unknown and unseen enterprise :confused

Substance addiction? From a Vulcan? Dear almighty Star Trek god: Must we now accept that ENT's model Vulcan falls to the level of Berman's personal contraband snorting habits?

How predictable... | Report this post to moderator
By: VectorBoy (Odo's file, contact) @ 14:16:36 on Mar 03, 2004

So yeah, E2.... Let me guess, Enterprise C (it's never been on-screen before... so the crew can be anyone), and I do believe Ent C was 'lost' in some spacial anomaly (yay for continuity).. and this is where the NX-01 acquires SHIELD technology. I bet ya.

And that causes an ever-so-fun paradox with 'how were shields invented?'

We'll have to see.

T'Pol the addict... | Report this post to moderator
By: Jadzia-Dax (Odo's file, contact) @ 13:10:08 on Mar 03, 2004

LOL

I guess T'Pol is trying to adapt herself into being able to function in the presence of Trellium, a little at a time, like people who supposedly build up a resistence to arsenic by ingesting it? Ummmm... okay. ;-)

They have made it a point to make this character the most sickly, most physically AND mentally unstable main character EVER in Star Trek. Surpassing the likes of those who might happen to be sent to the Tantulus Penal Colony of TOS and put through the "neuroneutralizer" by a Dr. Tristan Adams or a Dr. Van Gelder, which can essentially empty one's mind. ;-)

Let's just hope that they make it to a season 4. Interestingly enough it almost seems like ENT "Azati Prime" was done like a just-in-case finale as well, just in case they do a Jake 2.0 to ENT. We shall see.

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998

Outer Space. The last frontier.

These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise.

Its 5-year plan...

Calls for us to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations.

To boldly fly where no man has gone in space.

He doesn't even know what he's doing. Hopefully Zero Hour will be BERMAN'S finale--assuming there even IS a season 4.
