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.

Well, when I said the Enterprise will destory the Xindi, I didn't mean in a bloodbath - that would be very silly and unrealistic (aka: Voyager vs. the Borg). However, I would enjoy seeing them destory the Xindi as a result of destorying the Spheres, to try and destory the Expanse, to try and return home (in that typically irrational human way of plowing through anything in your path). To me, it would be much more interesting if they made a peaceful resolution with the Xindi and then wiped them out in a "whoops" type of way, to make humans a little more thoughtful of their effects on other race's life, thus beginning a need for the Prime Directive. I think this would be fun and promote continuity while giving people (both viewers and characters) something to think about in the end. Of course, very seldom do things work out exactly as you want them to, so I agree that this will probably not happen! :) I also agree that Berman and Braga should be kept far away from writing, but I think as Producers they're o.k.. I agree that they could do better, but I think they could do a lot worse as well! Thanks for your feedback!
