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're just nitpicking. Should we stop an episode and have Archer spout off some dialogue like "gee, T'Pol, why would the Xindi's homeworld be destroyed already if humanity is supposed to destory it in 400 years?" Would that satisfy you? Who cares. In X-FILES they didn't have Mulder and Scully running around whining about how the conspiracy never seemed to make sense and they couldn't figure it out no matter how many episodes they had dealing with it. Give me a break. As much as I hate to dismiss someone's comments entirely, your criticisms come down to just plain nitpicking and nothing substantive. The mystery is still unfolding and there is no reason to say that the character are acting inconsistently at all. There are many facets to this Xindi story and the characters don't understand them all, nor does the audience. That doesn't amount to a shoddy story, just an incomplete one.

But this is coming from a guy who thinks the Dominion War was "dragged out" as you put it in one of your previous posts so what's the point of even arguing with you? As I've said before, ENT has enough challenges to overcome without naysayers inventing problems that don't really exist. We bitch and bitch for them to give us a story that MATTERS and not just rehashed TNG stories of the week, and as soon as they do, you start bitching because after a mere 12 (or so) episodes into it--my god!--they haven't resolved all the plot threads yet!
