GRANDPA KIRK: "Hi Captain Archer, I'm Grandpa Kirk - who happened to always be the chef in the galley the whole time!" *wink wink* "Did you meet my little grandson Jimmy?" LIL' JIMMY: "When I grow up, I wanaa be a starship Captain just like you!" Good lord, whoever wants to see that shoot me. No Kirk time travel either. Use the Nexus, Bring back the real Kirk. End of story.

Kirk returning is bad idea | Report this post to moderator

Believe it or not, but William Shatner appearing in an episode of Enterprise will most likely result in the same ratings whether he plays James T. Kirk or not. I am of the belief that the entire Temporal Cold War story line is bad. B+B have never ever gotten time travel right. They are using it as a crutch so that when the series ends they can use it as reset button. Having Kirk come back in time will be horribly executed and make no sense whatsoever. I have no problem with Shatner appearring, as long as it is either a new character or an ancestor of Kirk's. Enterprise should ditch the Temporal Cold War and just concentrate on their characters and working towards the formation of the Federation. There is plenty of story potential without messing with continuity and time travel.

It has to be Kirk | Report this post to moderator

I don't like the way he's not referring to Kirk. I hope it's not the Grandfather idea because anybody can play his relatives.

This is over 10 years since Shatner was involved in the franchise. If it's not back as James T Kirk, it will be an incredible cheat.

It would be like David Boreanaz returning in a Buffy spin-off and not playing Angel.

Ben Browder in a Farscape spin-off but not as Crichton.

Keifer Sutheland in a 24 spin-off but not as Jack Baur.

Anything less than Kirk is a massive cheat.

After all these years and all the recent positive publicity the Bring Back Kirk campaign has gotten, it would step on people's hearts who love the character to be so close and yet so far...

I'll laugh at all of you posters who want Kirk to come back when it turns out that B&B completely waste the opportunity and destroy the character.

(Then I'll curse B&B...but not before I laugh at you!)

Quote:""It all comes to a real head in the finale. I don't know if resolved is the right word, but it's going to come to a very exciting end."

If Berman and Braga wrote the ending (and they did) expect it to suck.


Quote:"Let's just say, certain elements of the story are going to be unresolved."

In other words, we didn't have the arc mapped out like we said we did. We have no real ending in mind. So it is basically going to suck.


Quote:"Berman chose "Similitude" as his favourite episode from Season 3 "I think that Similitude was a classic Star Trek episode that dealt with an issue that was very emotionally wrenching and really made you think. I thought it was provocative and beautifully produced."

Well isn't that funny. For Berman to praise something besides his own work (aka looking beyond his over inflated ego) must mean it is "snowing in hell" right now.
How does he know what "Classic Star Trek" is seeing how he has never watched any episodes from the original series or seen any of the first 6 movies? Similtude was not that great. The idea that clone would only live 7 days but the organs they need to harvest from the body would not also die in 7 days is just ridiculous.


Quote:"Looking ahead to what we can all now confidently say is going to be ENTERPRISE's fourth season. Berman confirmed that he had indeed been in talks with TREK star William Shatner about a guest starring role in Enterprise, and is hoping to fit a William Shatner Guest appearance into Enterprise's 4th season.

IT IS ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME!!!! This is going to be the HIGHEST rated episode this pathetic series is ever going to get.


Quote:""Bill is busy doing 'The Practice' right now, and he's going to be doing the spin - off next season." Berman said. "We have had discussions in the last week, when we were talking with the studio about areas and directions we would like to go in next season, and there were two different ideas that we think could be developed into a good vehicle for Bill. And hopefully we're going to pursue one of them for next season."

A note to Berman....hey idiot....there is only ONE vehicle for Shatner.........Captain James T. Kirk!
