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:"But since you try to start a revolution by convincing everybody that Star Trek has turned into crap, you are contributing to the decline of current Star Trek. You sure realize that."

Ummm No. It is people like me who are trying to keep Star Trek from becoming stale and dead. Ent has gone done the road of trying to get people to watch by having some anorexic barbie doll slut around. Having these MACO officers wearing skin tight clothes is ridiculous. ENT has a whole is a miserable failure and that is why I boycott it. They make no money for me. It is bad writing. It is bad TV.. It is NOT Star Trek.


It is not my fault that
1) Nemesis bombed. I actually did go to the theater and saw it.
2) Insurrection was very bad. Again I saw it at the theater
3) Merchandising has dropped. I am not buying all this crap.
4) Ent has sucked. I watched the first season and half of it. I gave it a good chance it was a major let down. I have seen a few odd episodes here and there and it still hasn't done anything for me (mainly rip offs of TNG). Except wanting Berman fired even more.

So I am not responsible for Star Treks decline. I have been there when it wasn't that great. I am not going to support more lousy Trek. Instead I am encouraging people to write in and demand change. NEW writers. NEW producers. Other shows like "Law and Order" have done it and it has gone through the original cast and it is still on the air. WHY? The writing. The style of the show. It has been consistent.


Quote:"That the series would plummet into the swamp of "sex, violence and bad language" and all the things that I personally find disgusting."

Ummm all 3 of these elements are in ENT now. Hence you still watch?


Quote:"Why would TV be full of crap"

I agree. People are bored and the networks are just putting out silly crap to shock people. Most of these crazy programs were done in Japan years ago and got huge ratings. The US is just following a stupid trend.
(It was game shows, talk shows and now it is reality tv.) Lets face it, if people think this reality TV is really "real". Then they are true idiots.
