Finale "Zero Hour" Revealed, Plus 'T'Pol' in "E2," and Season Four Surprises (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 12:51, 3 March 2004 / Enterprise

The latest issue of the STAR TREK Communicator has been delivered to subscribers, and according to one TrekWeb reader, producer Rick Bermam reveals all sorts of tidbits for the remaining episodes this season in his STAR TREK Update with Dan Madsen.

Foremost, the magazine reveals that the title of the third season finale, airing May 26th, is "Zero Hour." Berman hints that Vaughn Armstrong's 'Admiral Forrest' and Gary Graham's 'Soval' could possibly play a role in the season-ending episode.

Berman suggests we'll learn a reason for 'T'Pol's strange behavior this season: a future episode may reveal that she has become addicted to small doses of Trellium-D, the substance known to cause instanity in Vulcans from "Impulse."

Of the upcoming episode "E2" Berman confirms speculation that the NX-01 will encounter a future Starship Enterprise. Apparently the ship will be three generations from the future, but itself involved in some sort of time-travel hijinks. In an appearance on ON AIR WITH RYAN SEACREST today, Jolene Blalock made reference to playing T'Pol 200 years-old and with prosthetics, perhaps a spoiler for this episode.

Finally, Berman says the season finale this year will not be a cliffhanger per se, but that elements of the Xindi storyline may continue into season four. The exec also suggests that next season -- as yet not officially announced -- will continue to involve arc storytelling and not merely standalone episodes.

Stay tuned to TrekWeb for quotes and more information from the issue as they become available. Look for issue #149 of the STAR TREK Communicator on newsstands and in your mailboxes soon!

You are forgetting one important fact. One of the shuttlepods IS covered with Trellium D. I can't remember in which episode it was they did that. Since they never said they undid this to the shuttle, that can be one source of exposure.

She also was heavily exposed in the episode with the zombie vulcans. Perhaps Phlox was not able to completely "cure" her.

Why is there an assumption that Vulcans cannot become addicts, willingly or otherwise? On the contrary, I can see how a Vulcan, once addicted, would be one hell of of an intense addict. Their underlying emotions are extremely erratic and aggressive, after all.

Even after all this time, we still do not know a hell of a lot about a variety of Vulcans from different eras. I disagree with the presumption that all Vulcans are basically clones of each other.

T'Pol has been exposed to Trellium D on Enterprise for months.


How? The stuff they collected, and it wasn't that much, was stored in "biohazard containers" in the cargo bay or wherever they kept them. They never lined the hull with it because they knew she was being impacted by the stuff. When she and Trip were first experimenting with it, they didn't spend "months" with it. The "mission" didn't allow that kind of luxury of time and it was only happening between ENT "Rajiin" and ENT "Impulse" when the problem with it in its finished form, was discovered. ;-)

Quote:

She may have become "addicted" to it or simply may have been affected by it enough to explain her behavior. I actually find this very plausible.


It would be implausible if they knew that the "biohazard" designation on those containers was useless for this substance, therefore underscoring their incompetence for not having dumped the containers out the airlock. And if they didn't know, then it almost suggests that she was sleeping down there next to the containers themselves.

"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
