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!

RE: Enterprise from three generations in the future ? | Report this post to moderator

Although the wording is somewhat confusing ("three generations from the future?"), they are most likely talking about three ships into the future, not "generations" of crews or "generations" of people. If they were talking about crews, you would have to include Pike's crew, or maybe even Captain April's (non canon) crew. If they were talking about generations of people . . . that's only about 60 to 100 years into the future.

Also, the 1701-A was a new ship, NOT a refit of 1701 which was well over 30 years old when it was destroyed. The number ships and time period is consistent with 1701-B.

Also, the 1701-C was destroyed some 190 years after Enterprise's time period. Any story with the 1701-C would have to occur very early in its history (long before Rachel Garrett and all that time travel stuff in "Yesterday's Enterprise.") Otherwise, T'Pol would be much older than 200.

If they were talking about the generation "after" TNG (going by TOS, TNG, Next-Next Generation), then T'Pol is really, really older than 200 in that time period.

No, I don't think it's the C. We saw the C in an alternate timeline, but it was a different timeline caused by the C's disapperance. The C itself was unchanged, and the fate of the C is reasonably well known.

I think by third generation what is meant is the generation beyond TNG. TOS was the first generation, TNG is the second and the E2 is the third (loosely speaking). Whether the future enterprise in E2 is from an alternate timeline is another question entirely.
