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."

Well, Scorned will have to speak for himself but this whole issue of why some of us bash the show and are still around is because we are discussing-in part-'Trek as a whole and not just Enterprise.

Many of us are upset with B & B and we continue to be critical of what they've done over the past several years, and despite what some feel is a good season doesn't wipe away what they've done before nor does it excuse some of the truly bone headed moves they made this season.

For example; T'Pol becoming a crack whore. The fact that elements of this season don't make sense (i.e. E Squared, the second Enterprise has been wandering around The Expanse for one hundred and seventeen years and the Xindi never saw it? Or the fact that we didn't find out the Xindi commander's name until the fourth to last episode. Way to really build up a bad guy, people, that you couldn't even bother to give the guy a name.)

B & B talk a good game when they discuss "story arcs" but the fact is they are severely lacking. They threw out a whole bunch of plot elements then strung them together later into the series. This isn't JMS Babylon 5 here, this is the Killer B's and they aren't very impressive when it comes to a long term story. They even had to bring in writers like Manny Coto to help put things together.

And on another note, I have yet to hear Braga apologize for calling people like me "continuity whores" just because we care about continuity. He is an ass.

So one mediocre season-as opposed to the two piss poor seasons before it-does not make up for the crap 'Trek B & B have foisted on us for the past seven or eight years.

Angels and ministers of grace, defend us! At last, a reasoned voice on this subject. You're right, the season has been fantastic! As I've said earlier, as good as the hey day of TNG and DS9 and WAY BETTER than anything VOY ever did. Thanks for the reasoned response.
