'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.

Quote:HUH??? What is "sexism" but personal prejudice against a woman?

I mean, sure there could still be induvidual prejudice in Gene's future. But Starfleet not accepting female captains goes against Star Trek's future Earth. That's how I see it.


I know how you feel about it and I completely understand, being a woman myself. But again, there's a problem going on right now and we can't sweep it under the rug. THAT is what I'm saying. And that I'm afraid that whoever they put up there will NEVER be accepted like a "Kirk" or a "Sisko", etc.

Quote:

Quote:You only "knew" because I just told you. And so if you "knew", then it would make no sense to say "Gene Roddenberry wrote a story against Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future".

That is not true. I was writing out my point quickly and that is what I tapped out. I worded it wrong, badly even LOL, gee I'm glad you never do that ;-)


Wow. I can't believe I got you on the defensive now. LOL Image

(I hope you can see the little graphic that has a tongue being stuck out... ;-))

Quote:

Quote:And people wonder why I have to be verbose here. ;-) And am I detecting a bit of "emotion" out of the normally "calm" MaxPower"? Did I shoot a bit too many volts down your wire?

Ohhh, well that isn't very nice at all is it? So that's the deal. Sorry that I have hit a nerve with you from time to time(all the time?).


Aww... want me to put in some sort of transformer to step the voltage down some? Image

(again, note that I stick my toungue OUT at you... AGAIN. Of course I could put it somewhere else, but then this is a "family" board. ;-))

Quote:

Quote:Wow. You ARE hitting a "spike" there. Better have that circuit breaker ready! Or do you use fuses instead?

Ok, now I see. It's all about getting back at me. And I thought I was in a real discussion. Oh well. Fool me once, yada yada yada.


Wow. It's so rare to see you do such that how can one tell? It's almost like crying wolf. ;-)

Quote:

Quote:That's a DAMN shame. Howdy Doody redux. heh

Yes I know, I'm a terrible terrible person.


No, Sam Donaldson is a "terrible terrible person". Blech!

Quote:

Most of what I have said in this thread regarding this issue, has been in "exposition" fashion, not naming "names". So if you want to self-label, then be my guest. But it won't come from ME.

LOL! I was just curious.


You should know my style by now I would think. ;-)

Quote:

Quote:So I declare that ENT is NON CANON! Now there!

Go right ahead.

I was TRULY trying to have a decent conversation with you. Too bad it's just not possible.


Okay. Discuss THIS (and make note what I have in BOLD).

"Paramount are organising some focus groups next week in London for ENTERPRISE to discuss the DVD packaging / special features and presentation for the first ENTERPRISE DVD release. All participants will get £40 and groups will be held next Tuesday and Thursday in the evening. There are stipulations though…

# All participants must own 2 or more ST DVD boxsets.
# 1 group must be filled with massive fans of Enterprise (need 16 people, 2 of whom are women)
# 1 group must be waivers (ie dip in and out) All men aged 18-50 (need 16 people)"


THIS wasn't something written in the 1960s, this was from a link that Steve JUST posted in the latest News Items, where the item says:

"STARTREKUK has details on how London-based fans can take part in a Paramount focus group about future STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE DVD releases. (Jul 22)"

Meaning:

WE ARE NOT READY YET.

--------

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998
----
"If the season finale involves the re-built USS Reliant coming back in time to the 21st Century crewed by Moogie, Dr. Selar, Morn, Transporter Chief Kyle, and the Salt Vampire, then we'll know that Coto has gone too far." - tomba1701
