Rick Berman: Ep 18 Has a Name, Plus Talks Mythology Installment "Harbinger" (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 09:37, 4 January 2004 / Enterprise

Producer Rick Berman talks with the STAR TREK Communicator for the magazine latest Update in issue #148. In addition to revealing that the title of ENTERPRISE's eighteenth episode of the season is "Azati Prime," Berman offers some intriguing details about the February 11th installment "Harbinger."

"'Harbinger' is an episode where we rescue a strange test subject - almost like a canary that gets taken down a mine," he tells the mag, "except this is a character that gets taken into our galaxy by the people who built the spheres to see how things are going. It is an episode where a lot of exposition is going to unfold about the upcoming [ending episodes of the season]. There are also going to be some very interesting romantic turns."

Berman says the MACO military characters will continue to be felt through additional appearances of 'Major Hayes' (Steven Culp) and "some quite attractive female MACOs."

Asked about the tragic passing of actress Kellie Waymire ('Elizabeth Cutler') last year, Berman says the staff is discussing ways to honor her.

"We had hoped that Kellie would come back as well. We have discussed some way of honoring her and we'll be looking into that in the next few weeks."

Check out the full interview in the latest issue of the STAR TREK Communicator. Thanks to Matthew Rojanakiathavorn for the clips.

STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.0

This is just silly. Having watched the entire DS9 seven season run recently on DVD, it would be very easy to look at each season and claim that they were "dragging out" the Dominion storyline. In the end, slow, suspensful, nuanced, development is far more gratifying and successful than a quick wrap-up like you are advocating. The Xindi storyline should stick around throughout the rest of the series, tying into the coming of the Romulan Wars etc. to make a very intricate, complex, and satisfying series overall. Wrapping it up this year and then proceeding onto a "villain of the year" motif with each successive season would be a mistake. The show has gotten much better this season with the new Xindi threat, taking ENT beyond just another TNG/TOS copy and having this crew face something the other TREK crews didn't, and at a time when Starfleet/Earth is a lot more vulnerable. It's working so far, and I say build on it slowly. Don't rush it to a close and move on to the next villain-of-the-year.

totsally agree.
but I think the reason no ending is in sight - there wasn't much to this story to begin with...
