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.

"Since B&B have not written much of Season 3 and there was been small improvements in the ratings."

If we are to believe the writer Mike Sussman, B&B still write as much as they did in season 1-2. He says the first thing he learned in show-business was that the on-screen credits, do not necessarely refer to the person. In other words "Story by ..." does not tell how much of the story was writen by that person. So I see nothing really that prooves your point, in this case.

" ...You blame him because he can't keep Star Trek as fresh and creative as it was in the early 90'es. ... Yes I do. He is IN CHARGE."

You blame Rick Berman when things go wrong, simply because he is in charge, yet you don't credit him for things that go right even though he is in charge. I don't undestand this. Could it be that your emotions are clouding your logic?

"You agree with me."

Yeah, sometimes. :o)

Actually, RIck Berman was born in 1945 so, that would make him 58 years old. Other than that (believe it or not) I agree with what you have just posted. I also would have liked to be a fly on the wall whenever B&B were ordered to hire new writers by Paramount. I just hope that they keep hiring good quality writers & let B&B collaborate but, not write any scripts. The series almost died last year because of their awful writing. Hopefully now the show can keep getting better & the ratings will improve. I just wish that UPN would advertise more. That really bothers me.
