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.

ENT seems to benefit by some fans doing the writers' jobs, filling in gaping story holes -- too often by not noticing what's said/seen on-screen, or by imagining things that don't actually happen.

What story holes? There can't be a hole unless the story is completed. You can't criticize a story that has yet to resolve itself for having holes--naturally, the holes are yet to be filled. First of all, why do you assume FG was telling the truth when he said that the Xindi retaliated against a human attack 400 yrs hence? Clearly FG is manipulative and there's no reason to believe anything he says. The Xindi's reason for attacking Earth could be entirely different. Or maybe they get a new homeworld between Archer's time and Archer's time+400 yrs. Or maybe during the 7 weeks it took to reach the expanse, another temporal incursion took place that contributed to the Xindi civil war that destroyed their homeworld 120 yrs in the past.

And the Xindi as incompetent? Well naturally they figured that the Expanse would protect them from retaliation by a species that has--gasp--one starship capable of even reaching their realm.

The point is that we don't know. It hasn't been written (or aired) yet. If the arc were done and all these questions still remained, then, yes, these would be glaring inconsistencies. But you're bitching about the horse while it's still midstream. I can't imagine you watching a show like the X-FILES, my god, how could you stand the apparent inconsistencies year in and year out with no clear resolution or linear explanation episode upon episode... gee, XF must've really sucked, huh? (I'm talking about the first seven years with Mulder).
