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.

Quote:"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."


After you watched the episodes there were credited by other writers and compared to episodes that were. Do you not notice the difference? It seem very clear that some of the non B&B crap episodes were far superior and got rave reviews by people on this board and in the other viewership numbers.

Yes it maybe true they are also writing not putting their names on the credits. I find that hard to believe otherwise they don't get paid for the scripts. Plus I find it very unlikely with huge egos they have. They would have NO problem telling people they wrote this and wrote that. It really doesn't make any sense why they write scripts and not give themselves credit for it.


Quote:"You blame Rick Berman when things go wrong, simply because he is in charge"

When things go wrong who do you blame? When things go wrong in a company the managements gets yelled at and takes the heat until things improve.


Quote:"yet you don't credit him for things that go right even though he is in charge"

WHAT has he done right?
1)Nemesis sucked and was a bomb. It is now the worst Trek movie to date.
2)INS was not a success. Personally I thought it sucked major ass.
3)ENT has been a huge failure from the get go. It was almost canceled because it was so poor.
4)Voy was nothing special. The series finale was pretty bad and didn't have any kind of hype to it like TNG did.
5)Generations he killed the Hero with the DUMBEST death scene. People want Kirk back!
6) The last 5 years we have seen a very steady DECLINE in the popularity of Trek. WHY? CRAPPY WRITING!

SO WHAT HAS HE DONE THAT HAS BEEN SO GREAT?

Besides the directors cut of the "Big Blue Marble". That is the type of programing this asshole should go back to doing.


My emotions are not blocking my judgement. It my logic of seeing the guy steadily destroyed Trek these past few years with his ego that fuels my desire to see Berman fired.
