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.

You can't criticize a story that has yet to resolve itself for having holes

Yes, I can, when characters are written to act like they have no memory of what was said or done earlier, giving little indication that they're connecting the dots in their universe. They have the attention span of a gnat. You also demonstrate my point by devoting an entire paragraph to rationalize event inconsistencies that the characters show no signs of perceiving. Great shades of Berman devoting an entire episode (#19) to explain oddball T'Pol behavior that none of her crewmates have noticed! ENT's characters are one-dimensional puppets that are folded, fondled, or mutilated in any way necessary to drive contrived plots that TPTB pull out of their collective arse.

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.

Even though their goal is to destroy all of Mankind, and they're supposedly tracking Archer et al, the Xindi have failed to control one annoying Earth ship which is easy pickings for samples of Human biology, technology, and information. Stupid is as stupid does.
