STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE producer Manny Coto says the show will complete its 22 episodes this season, despite a rumor today from SFX magazine. Speaking to TrekToday, Coto says set construction is well underway for episodes 20 and 21, and that producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga are personally writing the last episode of the season.

Coto also offered tidbits on the remaining episodes of the season: "In the second half of the season, you can expect this: Stories that take place on Andoria, a Klingon moon, Romulan outposts, Romulan Marauders, Orion Privateers, Earth's Moon, Mars, a 1701-class Federation starship and more. And you'll see a live Tholian... and a Gorn."

Coto emphasizes that whether the show returns for a fifth season remains to be seen.

"As to whether or not we'll be back for Season 5, that's always been up in the air. We'll see what the future brings."

Well this is good news...

Brannon Braga is a talented writer, and Rick Berman knows his way around Trek. He kept the franchise alive for more than a decade.

I can't wait to see this episode completed, especially since this year is the first time in 15 years I'm being bored to death with Trek. This season is the worst so far. All the mass-hysteria (frankly, at this point, there is no other word for it) about M. Coto is just spooky.

The violence and insults in the posts below are way beyond immaturity : It's pathetic.

    Glad you could stop by, Mr. Berman. Please don't screw this episode up like you did "Storm Front."

    Thanks,

    hahahahaha MAN that is a good one and it is not even April 1st yet!

    I mean to say that Braga is a talented writer despite the fact that his "writing resume" is empty is pretty funny. Berman keeping the franchise alive...oh yes those last 2 BIG Trek movies did well for the franchise along with the failure prequel series...oh yes...GOOD JOB! hahah


    Quote:"especially since this year is the first time I'm being bored to death with Trek."

    You miss "Dog in sick bay" episodes? More time travel diarrhea episode? or more continiuty errors?

    Quote:"his season is the worst so far."

    I have to disagree. S1 and S2 were ABSOLUTELY horrible. AND S3 was not that far behind it. S4 is the only good year this series ever had.


    Quote:"The violence and insults in the posts below are way beyond immaturity : It's pathetic."

    Not it is warrented! (I would say violence in giving B&B a great big kick in the ass on the way OUT is ok! hahah)

      My only regret about "A night in sickbay" is that it wasn't a three episodes mini-arc.

      If there wasn't so much crap in pre-Berman Trek, writers wouldn't need to break "continuity" in the first place.

        Anyone who though that A Night In Sickbay was a good episode is not only a fool but is easily entertained with anything. That episode was horrible. And it was written by yours truly B&B.


        Quote:"God I miss the Temporal Cold War..."

        What was there to miss? The Nazi's? The sudden 180 of the future guy who they NEVER explained who the hell this dipshit was. The Temporal Cold War was nothing more than a silly idea that B&B came up with that went NO WHERE! I suspect Braga had more of a hand in it because all this fool knows how to do is silly time travel episodes. They had 2 seasons of TCW and it went NO where. It was this drawn out boring thing that was boring and told the audience nothing. It was typical nonsense Trek by Rick Berman and Braga Braga. The two men responsible for Star Trek's demise!


        Quote:'If there wasn't so much crap in pre-Berman Trek, writers wouldn't need to break "continuity" in the first place.

        What in the world does this mean? HOW hard was it to watch TOS and take notes? This was suppose to be a "prequel" series and these two IDIOTS couldn't even keep simple things straight. That is not only embarassing but incompetence at best! What the hell is the point of watching something for so long and it doesn't flow? What the hell is point in calling it a prequel show when in fact it has NOTHING to do with the other series. No tie in what so ever. The "Xindi" were not only stupid but a complete waste of time. S3 did nothing to enhance the prequel concept. S1 and S2 were so bad that it did little to almost nothing as well. You had 3 seasons of a prequel series that did nothing to show the foundations of the Federation. The very idea of what this failure of a series was suppose to be about. At least Coto heard the fans screaming that ENT was shit and did nothing prequel. What might have been a descent series has turned into a failure which will no doubt be regarded by Trek fans as the worst of the series. What did B&B do? We hear Braga yelling at fans for pointing out the continuity errors that he made. How sad is that! Let me remind you of one thing pal. Star Trek was CREATED by GENE RODDENBERRY not some dip shit named Rick Berman. Rick Berman is NO writer and his (and I use the term very loosely) body of work in Trek is NOTHING compared to what Gene and the others (DC Fontana) did during TOS. When Gene died it made the papers and it said the "creator of Star Trek died today". When Rick Berman dies, no one will care nor will it be in the papers. This fool thinks that Trek is his? He can guess again. The fans loath him and his arrogance. This includes his girlfriend Brannon (the weasel) Braga. A shinning example of this is their almost zero apperances at conventions. They don't show up because fans don't want to see them. They are afraid of having their egos bruised by the fans. What happened to that so called "staff of checkers" that Braga said checks for continuity errors. It is very sad that when the men who so called run trek for over 15 years can't keep their own shit straight. Then to cover up their embarrassment lash out at the fans who pointing out their incompetence.


        Quote:"Charming...

        Yes it is but in all reality a good swift kick out the door would do the fans who watch something so great crash into the ground feel a lot better. The only other thing that I know would make me feel better is watching B&B get their heads served to them on platters by diehards as they rip through their lousy writing and mistakes.
        The fact that STXI is on the back burner. ENT has no B&B scripts this season and the fans are giving Coto praise is a nice way of seeing Berman get "the bird" from the fans and the studio!

        I find your overall admiration for Berman to be most unusual and unfounded. It is very clear that these two men are responsible for Trek to become stagnet. It is very clear you have not been a fan of Trek for very long. You never saw Trek in its glory days of 20 million viewers a week compared to the dismal 3 million it gets now.

          A night in sickbay was a wonderful episode. It was filled with clever humour, moving at times (Porthos' illness) and the way it dealt with promiscuity on a starship was very interesting. It was an important episode about the bond between Archer and Porthos. But I guess you don't care much for character development, do you ?

          You know, intelligent Sci-Fi is not just about action, space battles and special effects. It's also about studying the human nature.

          This is exactly what made the TPW so clever : It left some parts in the dark. By choosing not to solve every problem, you leave the audience with their own imagination at work. This is why a show like ENT is not just about staring at your tv screen like some kind of vegetable : It makes you think as well.

          Quote:

          It's hard because TOS was not always good Sci-Fi. You just can't respect everything installed in TOS, and not pull the quality of ENT a few levels down at the same time.

          Quote:

          It is very hard to "keep your own shit straight" when you are constantly harrassed by a minority of loud talking TOS fans who can't accept any change in the franchise.

          I did. But I couldn't care less about the ratings, now or then. I don't understand why people first check the ratings, and only then decide whether what they watched is good or not. I don't take the ratings into account when I decide if a like a TV show or not. If I did, my apreciation of TOS would be even worse.

            I've got to admit - I'm in the apparent minority that liked "A Night in Sickbay." Of course, I'm a dog fan.

            Now this I didn't like. It reminds me of the horrible Twin Peaks movie that raised more questions than it answered. Or Matrix Revolutions. I honestly don't think B&B left it a mystery to make anyone think. More likely they just never had a clue who he was themselves, as Braga has stated more than once. From a production point of view, this is just bad writing. Why even include the character in the first point? If he has no role to play in the drama (or comedy, or whatever_, he should be cut.[eq]

            Don't give me that crap about "character development". You have 2 cast members that are never used and you could almost put one more (Malcolm) on that list as well. The dog? I don't care to see any episode where the captain for the entire episode was blubbering over his stupid mutt. I am not interesting in seeing an episode dedicated to each charcater. The best way to see and learn about character is through "story" and things mentioned on the side. I don't need to see an entire episode dedicated to "one" specific character just to let the audience see this character. If you think A Night In Sickbay was wondering and humorous. Then you must of been disappointed when "Dodge Ball" was NOT nominated for an Oscar. It will remain one of the worst episode for ENT and for Trek as a whole. Right next to "Threshold, Datas Day and Spocks Brain".



            Quote:"You know, intelligent Sci-Fi is not just about action, space battles and special effects. It's also about studying the human nature.

            I never said it wasn't. Please show me where I said that exactly? Wasting an entire episode over the mutt was far from intelligent Sci-Fi. It was ridiculous.


            Quote:"This is exactly what made the TPW so clever : It left some parts in the dark. By choosing not to solve every problem, you leave the audience with their own imagination at work.

            That is absolutely nonsense! You give us a "villain" for over 2 seasons and never bothered to explain the background as to why this person was attacking ENT etc. Then it does a 180 by helping explain the Xindi to Archer. It was a very poorly conceived concept (Typical of B&B) which was so bad that it had to be scrapped completely for the retarded Xindi arc because the fans were not interested in this crap anymore. The TCW was and will be consider a bad memory.



            Quote:"It's hard because TOS was not always good Sci-Fi.

            It is the basis of Star Trek. It was that little 60's series that went into syndication and became a huge hit with a cult following. There are many episodes of TOS which are classic Sci-Fi. Your comment is complete nonsense. It does not excuse B&B from taking notes from it. Of course that would mean they would of had to watched some of it. Which we both know they didn't.


            Quote:"You just can't respect everything installed in TOS, and not pull the quality of ENT a few levels down at the same time.

            This answer is complete nonsense and does not validity the simple fact that B&B were too stupid and too lazy to take notes of TOS. I expect ENT to follow ALL the continuity of TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY. Since the two men that you love so much have been around since TNG. It is sad and shows a level of complete incompetence that they could NOT keep timelines, characters and various other things straight. As for the quality level. Had ENT had half of the quality level of TOS it would not be on the verge AGAIN of being canceled. For the 1960's TOS was ground breaking. For 2005, ENT is ground crashing!!


            Quote:"It is very hard to "keep your own shit straight" when you are constantly harrassed by a minority of loud talking TOS fans who can't accept any change in the franchise.

            Another cop out excuse which holds no validity. You really have no idea what you are talking about. By changing know facts of Trek history you are not adding anything to it but taking away. The fact that fans pointed out blantly continuity errors only shows that the fans "paid attention" unlike Berman. We are going to say Vulcans for 35 years suppress their emotions. Along comes Berman the dick and we just toss that idea out of the window. I don't think so.

            A perfect example of typical Berman laziness is Generations. Soran punches the Duras sister in the mouth. The blood is red. In STVI, the movie BEFORE Generation the killing of the Gorgon shows Klingon blood to be a light purple colour. The ONLY reason why fans pointed this out is due to the fact that STVI was nominated for an Oscar for special effects. Berman was too stupid and too lazy to keep that in mind when he made that piece of crap Generations. The fact that fans find the errors over management only shows you who really is "paying attention" and who "really cares".



            Quote:"15 years, give or take a month or two. Granted, it must be less than you...

            Over 25 years and it is very sad when these pseudo Trek fans like yourself cop an attitude like this. It is almost embarrassing. Please do us real fans a favor and go watch that silly revamp of BSG.


            Quote:"I did. But I couldn't care less about the ratings, now or then.

            Then you are a fool. Ratings are not the "end all" but they are a very good indicator of how many people are actually ENJOY the show week after week. To go from 20 million to 3, keeping in mind that ENT's pilot had 14 million to start. Is very sad! It shows you that no one finds this show the least bit interesting. This coming from a fan base that was so loyal.


            Quote:"I don't understand why people first check the ratings,

            I don't check the ratings first. However ratings are important. Too bad you are not smart enough to see that.


            Quote:"and only then decide whether what they watched is good or not.

            Don't be so stupid. People watch shows they like. If they stop liking it they go and watch something else. Nobody goes "oh that show has high ratings I got to watch it week after week even if I don't like it".


            Quote:" I don't take the ratings into account when I decide if a like a TV show or not.

            Nobody else does either. I don't know where you think people are telling you this. Just more delusional thinking on your part.

              I won't adress much of your previous post because, believe or not, I agree with most of it. But I thank you for the time you spent answering me.

              Only this :

              Do you really think it is Berman's fault ? Do you really think it is the head producer's job to keep all those details in mind ?

              I think it is more Braga's & moore's fault, or even some second assistant's who's supposed to pay attention to theis kind of things.

              I fail to see the connection. Are you implying that if the movie wasn't nominated, fans wouldn't pay attention to such details ?

              Quote:

              Since I'm being the devil's advocate here, I could point out that fans have only one thing to do : Watch the movie. Management people have a zillion things to take care of at the same time. Nobody's perfect.

Here are some predictions...
The finale will be Braga's last contribution to Trek. Berman will completely move into the background focusing on cheerleading for the movie; he will not write the movie and probably won't develop the story. Coto will lead the show into Season 5 which will end Enterprise's run.

I'm just curious if this is a hint they are bringing in Shatner?

In the end however, I can't focus on the negative. If I lose ENTERPRISE, then I lose one of my favorite shows. Life goes on....I'll just sit back by my computer in May and see if anything changes...

        You're darn right I posted it twice to get your attention. You WANTED attention, after all. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made that antagonistic sig to begin with. You're talking about being impressive? Do you think your antagonistic, trolling all-caps sig link is being witty and impressive?

        What did you EXPECT in response to that little sig link? Roses? Heck, no! You wanted an argument.

        Did any of the people that made that trailer say they wanted to be "in charge"? Nope.

        Did they say that the storyline in the trailer was what they wanted? Nope.

        And then to top it all off... You, a person that has declared himself to be an authority of taste, proclaim to be a fan of ENT?! And VLAD, for god's sake!?

        You just used that antagonistic sig to troll, plain and simple. To a group of people who did absolutely NOTHING to you. And you don't even back up your assertion with anything of substance.

        You did it for no other purpose than to antagonize. Well, mission accomplished! You got what you wanted! Now, what are you going to DO about it? Back your sig up with any assertions to support it? The sig itself shows you totally missed the purpose of the trailer.

        Again, the people that made the trailer made it VERY clear that they absolutely did NOT want that storyline to be used for real. They used elements of ALL the Trek shows for the trailer to reach out to ALL Trek fans, including ENT fans. But you TOTALLY miss those points, and try to make it look like they were making a real movie with full-length dialogue, and they somehow want to be "in charge" of Trek and want this to be a "real" storyline. And that's simply wrong.

        You posted to troll and antagonize, and now you've got it! Why aren't you happy? You should be jumping for joy!

          Oh really! You think you are really in my head. Interesting. One, if you even know me, I have been adament about the fact that I do not like the idea of Kirk coming back.

          I put it in my signature because I thought it was humourous. You want a good laugh, watch the whole damn thing.

          Two, yes, those people think they are being serious. I've emailed them and they would have loved for this to come about. I think that is ridiculous.

          You seriously believe I'm a troll, that is unbelievably LAUGHABLE. I've been hear on TREKWEB for over three years. All my posts have been about my enjoyment of Trek. I enjoy "ENTERPRISE" and that is no crime and definitely not a concern of yours.

          Yes, I hated the "Bring Back Kirk" trailer.

          MISSED THE PURPOSE OF THE FILM! IT WAS A GODDAMN CHEESY FAN FILM! IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! HENCE WHY MY SIGNATURE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

          Yeesh, you really are a real winner. I could care less what you think of me troll or not. I think the fact that fans put this together to support the bring back kirk venture is a joke.

          Kirk is dead. DEAL WITH IT! Bringing him back would be the ultimate cry for help for Trek. You are the one who missed the purpose. You think the fact that bringing back Kirk would do wonders for trek. My ass it would. It would bring ratings up JUST ONCE!

          Then once all is said and done Trek would be back on a spiral slump to the bottom all over again.

          Realize one thing Kirk's reign over Trek is done and over. Trek needs people who know what they are doing. People who can make descent and character driven shows. Kirk was an enjoyable character, but now that he's gone, it's time for someone else to step up.

          Bringing Back Kirk is the biggest mistake in the world, and I for one am comfortable to the fact that Paramount and Shatner can't come up with a financial compromise. As far as I'm concerned I hope it never gets resolved.

          So, since you are "Informed" now you are more "Informed" to the fact that I could careless whether Kirk comeback or not. Also you are informed to the fact that I put it in my signature to BE HUMOROUS JACK!

          See the Ron White joke below? Got a problem with it? Yeesh, it's a goddamn Trek site...lighten the fuck up...

            --Oh really! You think you are really in my head. Interesting. One, if you even know me, I have been adament about the fact that I do not like the idea of Kirk coming back.--

            Doesn't that render your opinion as a little biased, then? It could have had a totally different storyline and you would've hated it no matter what.

            --I put it in my signature because I thought it was humourous.--

            So I'm sure "Vlad fans' opinions are useless" is a very funny sig line too, right?

            --You want a good laugh, watch the whole damn thing.--

            You sound like those people that say "I hate ENT! You know why? Just watch the episodes! There's your evidence!" There's no substance to that.

            --Two, yes, those people think they are being serious. I've emailed them and they would have loved for this to come about. I think that is ridiculous.--

            You're lying. I know those people, and they have never said that, ever.

            Even in a public Q&A they said this:

            Quote:
            master_q : ....... Some people seem to think that the second official trailer suggests that the BBK
            group wants to combine all five series into one project with the return of Kirk. Is that true?

            BBKUS : No. The trailer is simply meant to show how exciting Kirk's return could be. It shows
            that Kirk fits in to the modern era. It's meant to show possibilities.


            On the trailer page itself, it even says:

            Quote:
            This short film is not so much an endorsement on a particular plot point, but an effort to show the exciting possibilities that Kirk’s return would bring.

            That's it, that's the trailer's purpose. Period.

            --You seriously believe I'm a troll, that is unbelievably LAUGHABLE. I've been hear on TREKWEB for over three years.--

            Trollers have been on Trekweb for a hell of a lot longer than that.

            --All my posts have been about my enjoyment of Trek.--

            Except for your signature line that negates anything positive you have to say.

            --I enjoy "ENTERPRISE" and that is no crime and definitely not a concern of yours.--

            Did I say it was a crime? It wasn't a concern of mine until you started judging other people.

            --Yes, I hated the "Bring Back Kirk" trailer.--

            You just hate what it stands for.

            --MISSED THE PURPOSE OF THE FILM! IT WAS A GODDAMN CHEESY FAN FILM!--

            Again, it's a TRAILER. Not a FAN FILM.

            --IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! HENCE WHY MY SIGNATURE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!--

            Your postings have shown it was a serious statement that comes right from your heart.

            --Yeesh, you really are a real winner. I could care less what you think of me troll or not. I think the fact that fans put this together to support the bring back kirk venture is a joke.--

            But you don't go into specifics, you just keep saying it's a joke.

            --Kirk is dead. DEAL WITH IT!--

            Your characters on the shows you like may be disposable, but some people care a bit more than that.

            --Bringing him back would be the ultimate cry for help for Trek. You are the one who missed the purpose. You think the fact that bringing back Kirk would do wonders for trek. My ass it would. It would bring ratings up JUST ONCE! Then once all is said and done Trek would be back on a spiral slump to the bottom all over again.--

            Again, you can't back that up with ANYTHING. It's a proven fact that crossover Trek episodes in the past have RETAINED ratings after the episode itself. Nobody's asking for them to have a Trek series revolve around Shatner. They're saying the episode will bring people in, and it will retain in the following episodes, and if the episodes are GOOD, they'll STAY. Coto and Reeve-Stevens have shown they CAN make good episodes. All they have to do is follow the Shatner episode with strong episodes, and the ratings will retain. But if they don't bring in Shatner, even if the episodes remain good, people aren't going to return to ENT fast enough to keep the show on the air.

            --Realize one thing Kirk's reign over Trek is done and over.--

            Who said people want Kirk to keep on reigning over Trek? The people who made that trailer just want to correct a mistake, and in doing so it could also help that show you claim to be a fan of.

            --Trek needs people who know what they are doing. People who can make descent and character driven shows.--

            Did the people who made that trailer say that they want people in charge of Trek who don't know what they're doing?

            --Kirk was an enjoyable character, but now that he's gone, it's time for someone else to step up.--

            That hasn't happened yet, but that's irrelevent. If the people in charge can do that, more power to them. And nobody associated with that trailer has said anything opposing that.

            --Bringing Back Kirk is the biggest mistake in the world, and I for one am comfortable to the fact that Paramount and Shatner can't come up with a financial compromise. As far as I'm concerned I hope it never gets resolved.--

            But again, you don't say why. You just keep repeating rhetoric.

            --So, since you are "Informed" now you are more "Informed" to the fact that I could careless whether Kirk comeback or not.--

            If you didn't care one way or the other, it wouldn't be in your SIGNATURE for god's sake!

            --Also you are informed to the fact that I put it in my signature to BE HUMOROUS JACK!--

            How is it humorous? It's just lies! You're claiming they want that trailer's storyline to be a real storyline. And you're claiming they want to be "in charge" of Trek. There's not even a hint of irony in what you're saying. That's like someone putting a sig link that says "EntFan! is a crackhead!" and then being shocked if you say something about it.

            --See the Ron White joke below? Got a problem with it?--

            Not at all, it's clearly a humorous direct quote. You're not projecting your own agenda into it.

            --Yeesh, it's a goddamn Trek site...lighten the fuck up... --

            Exactly, it's a Trek site. Think about that. If this was a Star Wars site, the sig would make more sense, even though it would still be a falsehood.

            Again, with that sig, you're getting attention. Why aren't you happy?

              You just don't get it do you. You know what, if you're so concerned about my signature, spend all the time you want bitching about it.

              And yes, it wouldn't bother me one way or the other if someone had put a "I hate Vlad" or "Only idiots watch Vlad" in their signature. I have my tastes, others have theirs.

              You never even read my posts. Saying that I don't know why I don't want Kirk back. I HAVE SAID IT A 100 TIMES!.

              It's crutch, it's like a fucking Meth addict who needs his next fix. If Kirk comes back, it'll bring ratings up ONLY ONCE...get it? I doubt it...

              Ohy, just forget it...the sig stays, I hate the "Bring Back Kirk" movement, get over it and have a nice day...

                --You just don't get it do you. You know what, if you're so concerned about my signature, spend all the time you want bitching about it.--

                Then you'll be happy getting what you wanted, right? That's the purpose of the sig.

                --And yes, it wouldn't bother me one way or the other if someone had put a "I hate Vlad" or "Only idiots watch Vlad" in their signature. I have my tastes, others have theirs.--

                I didn't say it would or wouldn't bother you, EntFan. I asked you if such a sig would be "funny" which is what you keep claiming. Stating an opinion is fine. Your sig is simply lying, which is very different. Such as someone saying "ENTFan's a crackhead!"

                --You never even read my posts. Saying that I don't know why I don't want Kirk back. I HAVE SAID IT A 100 TIMES!.--

                Wrong. That's not what I said. I said you don't BACK IT UP with anything.

                --It's crutch, it's like a fucking Meth addict who needs his next fix. If Kirk comes back, it'll bring ratings up ONLY ONCE...get it? I doubt it...--

                You're the only one who doesn't "get it." Your claim that the ratings would be brought up "only once" is something you're just making up on the spot in desperation. The NUMBERS prove you wrong. As stated before, it's A PROVEN FACT that TOS crossover episodes in the past have RETAINED ratings after the episode itself. Nobody's asking for them to have a Trek series revolve around Shatner. They're saying the episode will bring people in, and it will retain in the following episodes, and if the episodes are GOOD, they'll STAY. Coto and Reeve-Stevens have shown they CAN make good episodes. All they have to do is follow the Shatner episode with strong episodes, and the ratings will retain. But if they don't bring in Shatner, even if the episodes remain good, people aren't going to return to ENT fast enough to keep the show on the air.

                --Ohy, just forget it...--

                Of course, since you can't back up your statements with anything. Naturally you have to concede.

                --the sig stays,--

                Naturally, after all, it's so clever and witty and truthful, right? Since the movement wants to "be in charge" of Star Trek, and that trailer is something they want to use as a storyline, right? So much "honesty" in that sig. Of course you're going to keep it... it's giving you attention that you crave so badly. You crave it so much you'll lie to get it.

                --I hate the "Bring Back Kirk" movement,--

                Which proves your sig has an agenda and isn't a "joke." And is thus biased and negated.

                --get over it--

                Well, of course you're going to say "get over it," because you think other Star Trek fans are as ambivalent about their characters as you are to ENT characters. ENT characters can be wadded up and tossed over the shoulder easily and nobody would miss them for a second. You must hate that, the disposability of ENT characters. While just the RUMOR of Kirk's return made headlines in the NY Post, CNN, TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, and Good Morning America. Don't blame other people for the fact that ENT can't inspire any passion in its fans whatsoever.

                --and have a nice day...--

                You have a nice strategic withdrawl. But look at the bright side, you're getting your attention!

More Nazi bullshit???? Why does Trek have to have these two assholes still there?



Quote:"Coto also offered tidbits on the remaining episodes of the season: "In the second half of the season, you can expect this: Stories that take place on Andoria, a Klingon moon, Romulan outposts, Romulan Marauders, Orion Privateers, Earth's Moon, Mars, a 1701-class Federation starship and more. And you'll see a live Tholian... and a Gorn"

    At last! Proof that you jump to conclusions too fast before more details come out. Not long after this comment of yours was posted we find out that the Gorn is from the Mirror Universe. You didn't know shit about how the Gorn will be seen and as usual you complained like a whining baby. That is why I don't jump to conclusions and make an ass out of myself. The glass is always half full to me and it pays at the end.

    So how about you just sit down, stop complaining and shut up, and just watch the damn show!

      Yawn........!!!Is this the best you have little boy? We don't need to see the Gorn. Having B&B do anything with the Gorn with their lousy Trek record of continuity would make anyone go "oh no". But in your case, you are so delusional with your "fanboy" garbage you wouldn't even notice.

      No you just make an ass out of yourself by thinking that 3 means 4 and disregarding Trek lore. All for the sake of your stupid fanboy stories.On top of your ridiculous notion of "adding up all the episodes time thinking that means something". And lets not forget your disgusting fetish for the Romulans.

        And you say that I'm in denial, HA! That's a laugh.

        Quote:

        We didn't need to see the inventor of the transporter. We didn't need to see Khan again in the second movie. That little comment of yours have no substance. We don't need to see anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, Star Trek itself is not a necessity of life. We really don't need to see Star Trek. But the fact that people WANT to see Star Trek or WANT to see the inventor of the transporter or WANT to see the return of Khan in the second movie or WANT to see the Gorn on Enterprise is what matters.

        Quote:

        NEWSFLASH!!!!! B&B have NOTHING to do with the upcoming Gorn episode. Coto just said that they will be writing the season finale. THAT'S IT! The Gorn episode is the one set in the Mirror Universe where basically anything goes. It's Coto's idea, NOT B&B! And with the exception of the last five minutes "Zero Hour" was a pretty good episode and continuity-wise reconfirmed the 2061 date of the founding of the Federation and finally established the founding members.

        Quote:

        "Three" does NOT mean "four" BUT "FIRST three" means "more than three". It's simple math and basic english and at the very least proves that some Federation historians (NOT ALL) consider the Eugenics Wars as a world war since it DOES fit the defination of a world war and it was a larger war than World War I.

        Quote:
        On top of your ridiculous notion of "adding up all the episodes time thinking that means something".

        It's amazing that you still can see this simple piece of logic. Watch every episode and movie non-stop back to back and it will take over 20 days. It's a fact. You can do it yourself, add up the minutes of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and all ten movies. Then you just divid the total by 60 then again by 24. It's simple math! So that means everything we know from the Star Trek universe is about over 20 days worth. And the whole POINT of this is to prove that it is impossible everything in the history of the Trek universe was seen and mentioned in the first four shows of Trek, as in just because the Xindi attack, the NX-01, the Warp 5 Program, and everything else in Enterprise was not mentioned in TOS, TNG, DS9, or Voy does not mean they never happened. Omission of a fact is not a contradiction of a fact. That's all I'm saying.

        I don't see you complaining about Jadiza-Dax's love for Vulcans. The Romulans are just my favorite Trek alien, do you have a problem with that? I mean, I don't go around looking like a Romulan and speaking Romulan, like some Klingon fans do with Klingons.

        Stop over exaggerating everything I say, damn it!

          HOW am I in denial? What are you talking about? This is a laugh because you are in denial all the time. Your last response was a great example of that. Of course you will do your usual ignore all the points you can't negate. Typical!


          Quote:"We didn't need to see the inventor of the transporter. We didn't need to see Khan again in the second movie. That little comment of yours have no substance. We don't need to see anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, Star Trek itself is not a necessity of life. We really don't need to see Star Trek. But the fact that people WANT to see Star Trek or WANT to see the inventor of the transporter or WANT to see the return of Khan in the second movie or WANT to see the Gorn on Enterprise is what matters.

          There was no fan out cry to see the inventor of the transporter and there was no fan out cry to see the Gorn. Your comment about "wanting to see Trek" is nothing more than a "word salad". It has nothing to do with what I said. You are in essence just babbling.


          Quote:"NEWSFLASH!!!!! B&B have NOTHING to do with the upcoming Gorn episode. Coto just said that they will be writing the season finale. THAT'S IT! The Gorn episode is the one set in the Mirror Universe where basically anything goes. It's Coto's idea, NOT B&B!

          Quote:""Three" does NOT mean "four" BUT "FIRST three" means "more than three". It's simple math and basic english and at the very least proves that some Federation historians (NOT ALL) consider the Eugenics Wars as a world war since it DOES fit the defination of a world war and it was a larger war than World War I.

          You denial of Trek lore about this world wars is what makes you stupid. You are lost in the delusions of your fanboy world. You only embarrass yourself every time you open your mouth. "FEDERATION HISTORIANS"??? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? DO YOU FAIL to realize that Trek is NOT real! The Eugencis war was NOT a world war. If so then NAME THE EPISODE that states this? Answer: THERE IS NOT ONE.

          SO stop being a complete and utter f'ing moron over this issue that you have drummed up in that empty head of yours. 3 THREE world wars ONLY idiot. And if you don't like it...tough shit! The rest of us REAL Trek fans know better and will just continue to laugh at your complete and utter nonsense! There is NO set definition to "world war"!!

          Quote:"You can do it yourself, add up the minutes of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and all ten movies. Then you just divid the total by 60 then again by 24. It's simple math! So that means everything we know from the Star Trek universe is about over 20 days worth.

          This is nothing but complete insanity. So all of Trek over 20 days? ALL 5 SERIES? YOU ARE A MORON!


          Quote:"And the whole POINT of this is to prove that it is impossible everything in the history of the Trek universe was seen and mentioned in the first four shows of Trek, as in just because the Xindi attack, the NX-01, the Warp 5 Program, and everything else in Enterprise was not mentioned in TOS, TNG, DS9, or Voy does not mean they never happened. Omission of a fact is not a contradiction of a fact. That's all I'm saying.

          Oh yes the other point I forgot to mention. The fact the Xindi were not mentioned in TOS through Voy makes them a continuity error. It was a NEW concept to try and salvage ENT from being canceled because after 2 seasons it went no where and told you nothing. No mention EVER in TOS through VOY about an attack on Earth that killed 7 million people.

    I agree. I like Coto, he is a TOS fan just like us, but showing a Gorn is just wrong. ARENA was the first contact between humans and gorns.

      Again, you people are blowing shit WAYYY out of proportion. As per the usual on this board.

      He said WE'LL see a Gorn, it doesn't mean the crew will have first contact with them. Same goes with the Romulans.

      Who gives a flying f**k how it is done, at least he's better than B&B ever were.

      And I don't mind B&B writing the finale this year, because unlike the years before, they have Coto there to be the crap filter.

It all sounds promising, except for that bit about the finale. One question, though--I thought Coto had previously stated we wouldn't be seeing the Gorn, because Kirk was the one who made first contact with that species? Wonder how they found a way to get around that? I get the sense Coto has enough respect for continuity he won't blatantly disregard it.

Last time they wrote something, we got an alien Nazi in a season finale, which in turn forced them to waste 2 episodes this already even more-shortened season, trying to explain that cliche mess all away. Image

In fact this whole season has been mostly damage control for 3 years of destruction by them.

    Let's just hope we don't get a bogus "Zero Hour" ending.

    "Holy Sh*T! Archer is in fedal Japan and there's a Klingon in a Samuri uniform!"
    (actually that sounds pretty cool :P)

    You know, with the exception of the ZHAN at the end, "Zero Hour" was a great episode. Continuity-wise B&B reconfirmed that the Federation is going to be established in 2061 and they canonized the long speculated founding members. So if they stay away from another ZHAN-like ending, I'm okay with B&B writing the finale.

Ha! I bet in Coto's mind, this could be the last season, so he's thinking and if Enterprise is going then anything goes. He is making sure that if Enterprise is cancelled, it will go out with a bang and try to do a ton of things before the end. I LOVE IT!!!!

Now, if Coto is daring enough to show all those things in one season, just imagine what Enterprise would be like in season 5 and beyond. Damn! Just imagine what the premise of a Coto-created Star Trek series!

And also, just imagine what Star Trek: Nemesis whould be like if Coto wrote it (with or without Logan).

When will Paramount fire B&B and make Coto the new head honcho of Trek?

    Nemesis was not a bad movie. It was ok, but not on par with TWOK, FC, or TVH. Logan wrote a great script, but with Berman's "the movie has to run less than two hours" philosophy and the editing, a lot of the stuff that would have improved the movie was cut out (like all the character stuff).

      Don't get me wrong, I liked Nemesis, but it had its flaws even in the script. It could have been better.

        There's one flaw that just glares out at me everytime. I'll blame it on Nemesis, though First Contact may be to blame. Bear with me.

        When Picard and Lilly are walking through the ship, just prior to encountering the Borgerized sections of ship, he explains to her that the Enterprise has 24 decks, yadda yadda....

        In Nemesis, the Remans beamed an invading party over to capture Picard, when the ventral shielding went out on deck 39.

        So now I'm confused. How many decks does the E have? You'd think those two brainfarts could at least get that right.

Let the speculations begin. By "1701 class" ship, I assume he means Constitution Class? And with him mentioning Tholians, one could conclude it might be the U.S.S. Defiant? All in all it sounds pretty good!

    I have to admit--that's a great guess. Maybe we'll even see a quick effect of Kirk on the ship.

    Unfortunately, that's not a real Shatner appearance, and that certainly wouldn't count.

    But at the same time, that would be a good idea for an episode.

    For the record, there isn't supposed to be a cliffhanger this year. It's not a series ender either. It's a season ender.

    Finally! I bet Mike Sussman is going to write that since the original idea for season 2's "Future Tense" was the U.S.S. Defiant appearing. As for the Tholians, I hope they look cool, but unfortunately due to the mystery of their appearence ,expectations maybe so high that nothing would be good enough for some fans.

      Were the Tholians seen in TOS? I haven't seen the episode in years but I seem to remember they were on the viewscreen for a brief time, and appeared "crystalline" like in appearance?

        Yeah, we saw only the head on the viewscreen, but anything could be below the head. I've seen drawings of the Tholians being a giant floating crystal and others depict them as humanoid-shape walking crystals.

        I say they could be insectoid with a caste system with different variants of Tholians with specific tasks. Some look like spiders and various forms of bugs, some are like giant bi-pedal beings, some are just geometric shapes that either float or crawl. I have even taken the giant floating crystal idea and have them as the "intellectuals" of Tholian society such as ambassadors and other high ranking officials. I doubt they will depict the Tholians like that, but you never know.
