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."

Everyone's points are well taken about why Shatner should play Kirk. But let's face it, Shatner's got a lot of miles on him. Even Hollywood makeup and CGI isn;t gonna make him look 50 (or evern 60). So it wouldn't be so bad to see him in a different role.

After playing Nurse Chapel on TOS, Majel Roddenberry came back as Luxwana Troi. Sure, neither of those characters were all that memorable (I'd've loved to see her costarring each week as "Number One.") But it does show that it's still nice to see a familiar actor in a different role.

I wish B&B would bring back other Trek actors in a similar manner. It would be nice to see the familiar faces of Levar Burton, Michael Dorn, Marina Sitris, Nana Visitor, etc. etc. even if they were not reprising their original roles.

GET A LIFE,
will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!.... You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! -- William Shatner on Saturday Night Live (1986)
