"Terra Prime" Production Report Goes to the Moon and Beyond - SPOILERS

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 20:44, 1 March 2005 / Enterprise

The official STAR TREK web site has posted the penultimate ENTERPRISE production report. For "Terra Prime," the second in a two-parter (with "Demons"), a human named 'Paxton' threatens to obliterate Starfleet headquarters using a Mars-based weapon repurposed from terraforming efforts on the Red Planet.

Continuing his guest role is Peter Weller in the Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Manny Coto penned episode, from a story by the Reeves-Stevenses and Andre Bormanis. Eric Pierpoint continues as the Section 31 operative 'Harris' and Harry Groene will be back as 'Samuels', the Earth politician trying to forge a proto-Federation between species.

"Paxton has moved his Orpheus mining complex - which, it turns out, is detachable and has warp drive - from the Moon to Mars, where he has tied his reactor into the 'verteron array' there," reports the site. "That array is a huge row of particle cannons used to redirect comets for terraforming purposes, but Paxton has turned it into a formidable weapon against any target in the solar system. He lays down an ultimatum: all non-humans must leave the system within 24 hours, or Terra Prime will "defend the rights of every human." And he'll start by destroying Starfleet Command in San Francisco with a verteron beam."

Helmed by director of photography Marvin Rush, "Terra Prime" is slated to air Friday, May 13th at 8 PM just ahead of the currently untitled series finale of ENTERPRISE.

Yeah, that was my first thought as well. Will he have sharks with fricken laser beams?

t also sounds like these events could have been used for an entire season story arc.

And thank goodness it wasn't. The 3 part arcs have been good, but the Xindi thing went on about 20 episodes longer then it should have.
