Rick Berman on ENTERPRISE Season 4, "Zero Hour" and William Shatner Guest Starring Role

Features

By GustavoLeao / 15:31, 22 May 2004 / Enterprise

The latest issue of Star Trek Monthly magazine, just out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with TREK executive producer Rick Berman, in which he hints at the Season 3 finale "Zero Hour" and Season 4, and tells us his personal high points of the season.

"It all comes to a real head in the finale. I don't know if resolved is the right word, but it's going to come to a very exciting end." Berman told journalist Ian Spelling "Let's just say, certain elements of the story are going to be unresolved."

Berman chose "Similitude" as his favourite episode from Season 3 "I think that Similitude was a classic Star Trek episode that dealt with an issue that was very emotionally wrenching and really made you think. I thought it was provocative and beautifully produced."

Looking ahead to what we can all now confidently say is going to be ENTERPRISE's fourth season. Berman confirmed that he had indeed been in talks with TREK star William Shatner about a guest starring role in Enterprise, and is hoping to fit a William Shatner Guest appearance into Enterprise's 4th season.

"Bill is busy doing 'The Practice' right now, and he's going to be doing the spin - off next season." Berman said. "We have had discussions in the last week, when we were talking with the studio about areas and directions we would like to go in next season, and there were two different ideas that we think could be developed into a good vehicle for Bill. And hopefully we're going to pursue one of them for next season."

The whole premise of Enterprise surrounds aliens from the future tampering with the timeline. It makes perfect sense that Kirk would be sent back to help Archer. Just because it's inconvenient to your opinion; doesn't make it implausible to the series.

Kirk/Star trek | Report this post to moderator

Well face it, The Star Trek franchise ended along time ago, its christening was the destruction of the Enterprise D and its replacement with the Berman-E. Enterprise is just Bermans way of rewriting history. Notice how Gene Rodennberry name was removed from all plaques. This is Bermans way of rewriting Rodennberry vision and pretending its his. With DS9, they turned Sisko into Jesus, "I'll be back, the profits have to teach me new things." How about the word blaspheme. Why bother saying anything about Voyager. And finally the movies. The latest which is suppose to be the last movie for The Next Generation crew, if that was the best they can do maybe they should have killed the entire cast. They had a golden opportunity to give this a spectacular ending, They Failed, That was pathetic, Keep hinting to the Federation Fleet that was never in the movie, killing Data off but leave him a way back in. What Crap!!!!!!!!

All they gotta do is slam a few adverts around and we'll probably get a Broken Bow kind of audience, but Shatner needs to play Kirk for it to work.

Historical precedent really proves you wrong. Americans love nostalgia. Star Trek fans miss Kirk.

Combine the two, and ratings will go up. Just look at the last year or so:

When Christopher Reeve went to Smallville, they got their highest rated episode.

Andy Griffith and Don Knotts did a special just TALKING about their show, and it was the highest rated November Sweeps show.

As for the ancestor idea, that's a complete waste of time. Anyone can play Kirk's ancestor. ONLY SHATNER can play Kirk. And the demand is for KIRK.

If they do anything but a post-Generations Kirk story, then they will be losing out on the fan demand, and killing the buzz that Shatner's return generates.

Dick Van Dyke reunited his show and the ratings beat 24, which of course has American Idol as a leadin. That special was ranked 13th.

Enterprise's premiere showed that the audience, even with UPN's disadvantages, could get a 7.0.

Just look at all the buzz just the IDEA of Kirk's return is getting.

There is NO WAY such an episode would do average ratings.

The TCW is a major part of Enterprise, and Kirk is a major part of Star Trek. It makes sense that Kirk become a character that helps advance the TCW.
