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:" Are you really this stupid, or are you just making these idiotic comments just to piss me off."

No I am not but it seems that I have hit a nerve of truth. You just can't admit that I am right. I have provided examples to support my points and you keep ignore them with the hopes that what I say will go away or not be true.


Quote:" I am not saying that I am a writer! I just told you that I haven't published anything yet. Besides, if you actually read the comment, I said I don't need to be a writer to know how a story goes. I know because READ (not write) books.

Again reading books doesn't give you the authority to sit there and tell me you know "good story telling". You said and I quote
"And you do know something about good story telling?"
Of course!
"What have you published?"
It doesn't matter if I've published anything or not. I can read,"

You are clearing telling me that you know good story telling because you read. Well that is not the case and I have no idea what you read.


Quote:"What fascination?! You mentioned the Romulan War so I made a comment! I do it all the time on these boards! Someone mentions something and I comment! It's called a reply!

No you have a real hard on for this Romulan war arc. You are always pushing for this arc. Again this is Star Trek NOT GI Joe. Star Trek is NOT about a war show. It is about adventure.


Quote:"In those situations fine! But not all situations call for a detailed analysis! When you talk about how Israel was formed, you don't talk about everything single thing that happened in World War II. NO! You just talk about what's relates to the topic in hand. It would have been illogical for Spock to say every little thing that happened in the war because it would have been too long and all he needed to explain was why the Romulan Neutral Zone was there in the first place. He just needed to brief the crew that because of a war 100 years ago, we have this Neutral Zone that it ALL. Damn it! Why do I have to spell everything out for you!

The Romulan war is only briefly mentioned in TOS. There are no details to it because they had no intention of ever doing the story back in the 1960's. Since B&B have clearly not watching any episode of TOS don't expect it to happen. At least not to your satisfaction. It would not be illogical for Spock to give many details. In fact that is part of Spocks character. To give detail. Do you not remember the countless times when Spock would give Kirk answers down to the second, meter or hour. So again the Xindi were NOT mentioned therefore there is NO tie in. There was never any hint of Xindi in TOS because Berman and his hack writing were never there.


Quote:"You are so stupid, it makes me want to cry! I was just giving an example that people DON'T go into that much detail ALL THE TIME. It's amazes me that you graduated High School. You're like a child that needs everything explained to him.

I have never said that I need everything little thing explained to me. Please show me where I said that. In fact I have posted several times arguing about seeing episode done on every little thing mentioned in Trek history. I have said we do NOT need to see every little thing. So stay on topic. All you whining about me being stupid is nothing more than a defense mechanism by you to avoid the fact that I am RIGHT and you are again WRONG.


Quote:"What really ticks me off is that all you do is ignore the point I am making and make an idotic remark to an example I made or an irrelevant sentence in one of my comments. Can somebody please tell me that I'm not the only one who sees the stupidity of all of Sconred's replies.

How is that possible for me to ignore your points when I pick apart your entire responses and comment to the points that you make. I do this all the time to your response that I chose to respond to. You are just upset that again I am RIGHT and you are WRONG. You don't like it when I call you a war monger because it is true.
