Rick Berman Says Consequences Coming for Archer, Plus Trinneer Talks 'Trip' Romance (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 14:44, 7 January 2004 / Enterprise

Producer Rick Berman talks in the latest issue of the STAR TREK Communicator about ENTERPRISE's upcoming spring slate of new episodes. We previously reported on his "Harbinger" comments (story) and further remarks reveal that some big changes could be in store as season three rolls toward a conclusion.

"'Hatchery' deals with the discovery of a crashed Xindi-Insectoid ship with an intact hatchery of eggs of Xindi-Insectoids," Berman explains about the February 25th episode, "and a certain obsession that Archer suddenly takes on in terms of his desires to keep these eggs alive."

The executive drops another big spoiler next, suggesting that the captain's questionable tactics since embarking on this new mission may come to a head.

"That is an episode that is going to result in a mutiny," Berman finishes in reference to "Hatchery."

The producer also talks about the status of the writing staff, which seems to have found a successful addition in new co-executive producer Manny Coto ("Similitude").

"With the addition of Manny Coto, it makes life much easier; Manny is a terrific writer," he says. "Chris Black is a terrific writer. We have two co-executive producers who can turn out good scripts and rewrite good scripts. For Brannon [Braga] and me it is really a question of having a team that we can work with, as opposed to have to write a bunch of them ourselves."

Even so, Berman and Braga have been credited with two teleplays this season, "The Xindi" and "Carpenter Street," and Berman says the writing partnership with Brannon is professionally satisfying.

"I think the writing process is the most rewarding," he says. "When Brannon and I are writing it is a very focused process and it is the most rewarding part of my job."

Elsewhere in issue #148 of the Communicator, Connor Trinneer hints at a romantic turn in "Harbinger" (airing February 11th).

"Jolene [Blalock] and I had to find the truth of that [blossoming relationship between 'Trip' and 'T'Pol'] and how that gets created," the actor reveals. "We have had a lot of conversations about it. In fact, we shot 'the day after' scene first before we shot the rest of it. We had a lot of conversations about how we could stay true to our characters, and Jolene has the tough job in terms of how to rationalize that with the character traits that are Vulcan."

Trinneer talks about his recent engagement, his opinion on bad publicity, and his acting career in the full interview. Check out issue #148 for more of both interiews.

She doesn't seem to know that Sarek married a human. They don't need to back away from this. It's a step in the right direction, IMHO, and that comes from soemone who's pushing 40, is more than familiar with Trek and who loathes soap operas. Trek should be devoid of any romance or sex? Any romance or sex is pandering? Unworthy of Trek?

Folks, I don't understand this aversion to any form of sex or physical intimacy on ENT. We're this offended because it's a Vulcan character? We're morally outraged? Who cares? It's not inconsistent with canon. Trek isn't a sacred entity. God isn't going to smite anyone because they haven't conformed to the Trek bible. I've come to realize that Trek's two biggest enemies are not Rick Berman and Brannon Braga. Trek's biggest obstacles are 1.)UPN and 2.)Its fans narrow, rigid expectation of "what Trek should be." I can't fathom the negative reaction to this article.

And that's the bottom line.

I had read some material right around the time the show was premiering, that claimed that for the first time, an entire Trek cast had actually been familar with (and had watched at some point) Star Trek. And so there is a generation of Trek actors and actresses who are somewhat knowledgeable (although obviously not to the detail of many fans) of the universe as already shown in the 4 other series and 9 movies (before NEM).

I don't know what else to say except that these mysterious Expanse Spheres, coupled with the TCW, are 2 possible backdoors out of this... aside from some unusual alternate universe/time-shifting parasite whatever technobabble that could fix this. Thing is, if it is reset, then the "real" stuff needs to be RESEARCHED properly. And it's as simple as.... reaching over onto Okuda's desk and opening up his Encyclopedia that he, his wife, and others so painstakingly and lovingly (as he said in the forward) wrote.

--------

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998
----
"If the season finale involves the re-built USS Reliant coming back in time to the 21st Century crewed by Moogie, Dr. Selar, Morn, Transporter Chief Kyle, and the Salt Vampire, then we'll know that Coto has gone too far." - tomba1701
