'T'Pol' Faces New Challenge at "Home", Plus the Newest NX Ship - First Plot Details (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 19:48, 23 July 2004 / Enterprise

Jolene Blalock let the cat out of the bag during this week's fall press tour: 'T'Pol' may be getting married. In fact, TrekWeb has received the first information on the third episode of the season in which the big event might occur, entitled simply "Home."

In the episode, slated to begin production August 4th under the direction of Allan Kroeker (who is also directing the season premiere "Storm Front, Part 1", credits), T'Pol will face her mother 'T'Las', who along with another family has arranged a Vulcan marriage for the Enterprise science officer. Producers are reportedly looking for an actress in her 60s are are open to "stunt" casting for the role.

UPN president Dawn Ostroff said earlier this week that the network would like to land popular performers in ENTERPRISE guest roles this season; TNG's Brent Spiner is already onboard for a three-part stint, and Shatner talks is omnipresent.

T'Pol's husband-to-be goes by the name of 'Koss' and looks in his late 30s by human standards. Koss is reminiscient of 'Spock', tall and imposing. But T'Pol -- as you can probably imagine -- is unsure whether to go through with the betrothal. Both T'Las and Koss could appear in later episodes.

In addition, we'll also meet the newest NX-class member of the fleet in "Home." The commemoratively-named Starship Columbia is captained by 'Erika Hernandez', a sexy Latin former colleague of 'Archer's from Starfleet's command school.

Rick Berman stated this week that the third episode of the season would be a standalone before launching into the three-part storyline focusing on Spiner as 'Arik Soong', the great-great-grandfather of 'Noonien Soong' (Data's creator) who attempts to continue the work of geneticists with embryos left over from the Eugenics Wars (story).

Until this information if confirmed by Paramount (or blurted out by one of the producers), it should be treated as rumor. "Home" will air in October.

RE: Explaining the "No Female Captains" thing. | Report this post to moderator

LOL you really like to go off and write essay's don't you ;-)

Quote:
You of all people, who speak in symbols, miss what I just wrote? For shame. ;-)

I know what you were saying, I just wasn't sure where it fit in with my quote.

Quote:
Indeed. Many people here disagree and hurl epithets daily about her. So why bother with any more as any new ones will be similarly lynched?

Hey Rosa Parks, just get out of that bus seat, I mean why bother?...

Quote:
Yet the B-plot in a TOS "Balance of Terror", where a Lt. Stiles rants and raves about Spock, DOES "fit"? Or was THAT marvelous revelation a COMMENTARY on how things haven't completely changed yet, even by the 23rd century?

Personal prejudice maybe. But I still stand by what I said. Starfleet not allowing female captains goes against Gene's own Star Trek utopia IMO. Disagree with me, that's your right.

Quote:
miss the satire of the entire thing? It's amazing.

You were arguing over my use of the word "they" for cryin' ou loud. I know Gene wrote it. I used "they" instead of he, there is no conspiracy here....Or is there?

Quote:
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are saying there.

Most men don't.


What the Hell? I didn't understand your wording, now that you re-phrased it I get what you are saying.

Quote:
Sheesh and I offered what Shatner noted on my Sci Fi SE tape about the whole production of the episode. ;-) And I'll put some of it here:

It was just a theory I put down. I don't care if I'm wrong about that. Good lordy.

Quote:
So what do YOU see in the above picture Maxie?

Hmmmm, I hate these things. Looks like an Eagle, maybe Sam Donaldson. But then I see Sam Donaldson almost everywhere I go, I can't get that bastard out of my head.

Quote:
And the presence of one will no doubt generate massive rejection by the same people who rejected a Janeway for 7 years so why bother?

I doubt "Massive rejection", but if they do then screw them. I mean, don't do something because it might be rejected? Puhleese.

---

I hope you arent trying to suggest I am sexist here. I know what you are saying about "Turnabout intruder", you obviously have put a lot of thought into it! LOL. But whatever Gene's reasons for this episode, IMO he stepped over his own utopia to get there and therefore I have no continuity concerns with ENT having a female captain. That's really the only point I wanted to make.
