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.

Which VOY ep do they destroy the Borg in a bloodbath?

-Well, I didn't literally mean that to refer to the bloodbath, just the unrealistic "one ship against an empire and surviving" timeline of the later Voyager seasons.

Quote:
It is obvious that the network of spheres will be destroyed or the show will shift timeframes because there is no such network of spheres in later series.

-That is obvious, and that wasn't the paint I was making. I was making the point that I'd like to see the humans wipe out the Xindi as a result of doing this. Must everything be a point of contention?

Quote:
Why a "whoops"? There was supposedly a "whoops" in ENT "Shockwave I & II", although it turned out to be Suliban-generated.

Just to me, a "whoops" would be much more interesting for the future of the series than would a we couldn't make peace with them so we killed them type of ending. It's much more interesting (for me) to consider the fact that the crew messed (EDIT: didn't wanna cuss there) up becuase they didn't think logically and rationally before they destory the speheres (this particular perspective of mine stemming from my idea that the humans make peace with the Xindi, then blow up the speheres, then kill the Xindi indirectly becuase of this - all just idealogical thoughts of mine which probably won't happen).


Quote:
Right now as it stands, they started something with this arc that is like playing with fire and will need to do some very creative writing in order to get out of it in a meaningful way.

I agree with this, and I would enjoy greatly if an idea similar to mine was the final one, it would clean up the "physcial" continuity mess, leaving only the "memorial" continuity (which could presumably (and sloppily) be covered up by saying "humans were very sorry about the mess, they promised they'd do better and it was all forgotten" heh)

These entries of mine are written only from the perspective of my personal opinions and visions for what would make this a remarkable storytelling season for Enterprise, so much of what I've said here is based only on theory and inference, not on any official information. Just so everyone knows I'm not crazy and/or imagining episodes. These ideas are just personal ideals, nothing more! :P
