Interesting that this guy WAS interested in getting back involved with Trek. I didn't realize he had tried out for NEM.

I have some interview snippets from him on my 1998 Sci Fi Channel SE tapes - one of which was done for play during the ep that he was in - TOS "The Enterprise Incident". I have to take a look and see what he says.

He'd definitely make a good Vulcan, that's for sure. He's got the look. LOL

Now... Let's just hope that he's there for more than his look and he is gifted with some dialog that makes sense for whatever he plans on doing (and no, he shouldn't have to exactly mirror, word for word, someone like T'Pau from TOS "Amok Time"). ;-)

"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.

I like the direction they're going in as these little bits of information seem to indicate that there won't just be simple nods to the other series, specifically TOS, but the nods will actually be stories that the viewer can get into.

I don't care much for the Vulcan storyline very much. I'm still very much opposed to the idea of a Vulcan being on the Enterprise full time. Plus, so much bad characterization of T'Pol by the writers have made the character even more miserable.

I do think that Phlox encountering anti-alien sentiment on Earth will be quite a good story. I don't know if they're going to simply show people shouting epithets at Phlox or if he's going to be beaten up by a youth gang, but the stronger the statement, the better the show. Phlox is generally a very kind person. A savage beating by a bunch of skinheads or gangstas (22nd century versions of course) would do wonders for further fleshing out his character a bit more. I get the feeling that Denobulans don't quite act the way humans do when they don't like another group, although I'm sure they have their own manifestation of xenophobia.

I'm intrigued with these sparse comments on the upcoming season. I guess I'll have to buy a new VCR as I work on Friday nights. Does anyone know if the show will be replayed on Sundays as they have been doing so far?
