Familiar Faces to Lend a Hand in Season Finale "Zero Hour" - First Plot Info (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 14:55, 11 March 2004 / Enterprise

The season finale of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE's third season is well under way, with production scheduled to wrap early next week at Paramount studios in Hollywood. Titled "Zero Hour," the episode undoubtedly brings to a head the effort to prevent the Xindi superweapon from being launched against Earth. Yesterday's production report for "Countdown" (story) revealed that Archer may get some of the Xindi species to side with him in this task.

Sources tell TrekWeb that "Zero Hour" will see the return of a familiar face to the Expanse, helping the "Pink Skins" in their mission. Jeffrey Combs' Andorian commander 'Shran', who appeared in this season's "Proving Ground," will rear his blue head in the final episode, which may see the fight to defeat the Xindi taken all the way to the Xindi Council Chamber itself.

"Zero Hour" is slated to air on UPN May 26th, and may close a significant chapter in ENTERPRISE's Xindi storyline. Rick Berman recently hinted (story) that new plot arcs may emerge for season four of the show, all but official at this point.

Well, here's what we know...

Enterprise contracts are six seasons...so the show would have to be cancelled early...so by default, so far, Season Four is a go.

The ratings haven't really gotten worse this year, and there is some positive press toward the series. While I don't expect a huge bump in the ratings for the end of the season, I do think the general buzz is up.

100 episodes, as I have said in the past, is the magic number and increases the net value of the series across the board for Paramount.

Paramount doesn't like the idea of having no Star Trek on TV as it affects many aspects of the franchise, including toys, games, movies, etc.

The only thing we have pointing toward the show not being renewed is one comment by an exec.

So far, the facts support renewal.
