After four years, things finally wound down this past week on the set of ENTERPRISE, in final days of shooting. Michelle Dudas, from Canadian sci-fi channel Space, visited Paramount studio Stage 18 to get reactions from the cast about the series and UPN's decision to nix the NX warp corps.

"I have to sort of remind myself, the way we were thinking at the end of year three, that, you know, we were dancing on the edge of coming back or not," admits Connor Trinneer, dressed in a Starfleet uniform with epaulets and a name tag. "So, um, it's disappointing. You know, you don't want to feel like the cast that killed the franchise. But, um, you know, it's the way it is. You know, it's business. It's the way, you know... We, frankly, didn't get enough people watching our show, on first runs, to keep the Network, you know, off our backs" (video of Trinneer, courtesy of Space.)

"The bottom line -- this is very tricky, but the challenge for our show, and I'm not quite sure we lived up to it -- was to try and hold on to the core audience while building a brand new audience," asserts an unshaven John Billingsley, who recently spoke out in agreement of Paramount (story.)

"I think we served our purpose," believes Scott Bakula, speaking from the captain's chair. "I think this last season that we've gotten has allowed the writing team to really kind of put together some strings between us and Kirk and Spock, and some kind of connective tissue; and have some fun, and really kind of -- they call it, you know, a lot of 'Valentines' to the fans, you know, from the original series especially."

"I understand that there will be another STAR TREK, probably in years to come, under a different auspice and with a new face," acknowledges Dominic Keating. "But, uh, there was a line we had the other night, our last scene in Engineering, Connor and I; and the writers, Rick [Berman] and Brannon [Braga], had, you know, thinly disguised what I've just been talking about. And I say, 'The captain thinks there will be another Enterprise before long.' And I look around the Engineering set and go, 'It won't be the same.' And it won't. It won't be the same." Indeed. Expectations of something different is as likely as any explanation of motive from UPN and absentee viewers alike.

Additional comments, and from other cast members, will be posted here over the coming days and weeks.

The article said, "YEARS TO COME". This means not 2 years or 3 years, it means that it could be more than 5 years from now.

    Not to be rude, but in no way does "YEARS TO COME" have to mean 5 years... the only thing you can truely infer from such a statement is "more than one year." "Years" could mean 2, 5, 10, etc...

"The Captain Thinks There'll Be Another ENTERPRISE Before Long"

These actors just spent four years making history.

No, don't start in with the jokes or cruel remarks.

These actors were a member of a cast that were a part of the STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.

There have only been two other casts to be that lucky.

Sure, DS9 and VOY will be an enjoyable memory to Star Trek as a hold, but like the comment above states "it won't be the same".

As long a ship carries the name ENTERPRISE. Then, and only then, shall it be Star Trek in my eyes.

That ship was the core foundation of Star Trek. Now continues a legacy of a crew that was 100 years before Captain Kirk even set foot in Starfleet.

This may not be the end ENTERPRISE. At least I'm hoping. But it is a beginning. It's a beginning of a new version of the television show ENTERPRISE.

Books, comics, games, fan fics. ETC.

This story won't end. Fans won't let it.

Star Trek has always survived.

As long as there is a ship called ENTERPRISE there will always be a Star Trek.


EDIT: Those are updated uniforms. The name tags and something else looks different about them. I guess this episode does take place a couple of years into ENTERPRISE's future.

    Yes, they are part of History but not History is good ya know. Most fans would rather forget this part of the S.T History which is ashame because this could have been an amazing show and the pilot was but B and B ruined yet another show.

    Keating was quoting his line from the script - it's an exerpt from the script he's reciting. Don't read too much into it.

  • Updated Uniforms | Report this post to moderator
    By: GustavoLeao (Odo's file, contact, web site) @ 22:26:44 on Mar 12, 2005

    Yeah, according to TrekWeb and TrekBBS sources, the NX-01 events in the finale takes place four years after the events in "Terra Prime" and the fourth season, which explains the new, updated uniforms.

There are possibilities..... | Report this post to moderator
By: Requiem (Odo's file, contact) @ 21:54:48 on Mar 12, 2005

Could be, the way things were going, be they good or bad for any way of reason, had to come to an end. What is shown to us as being a serious jab may indeed be founded as one aspect of filling in the blanks. With this talk of a New Trek movie that is to be grittier, more real...the success of Galactica, and now this talk of saving the Enterprise sets and moving them to Vancouver? I can just see Trek taking a turn. Something is on the horizon...

I don't know, but "'The captain thinks there will be another Enterprise before long.'" Sounds pretty interesting.

Why would his character say that unless either

a) the enterprise is destroyed
or
b) decomissioned.

Interesting none the less.

    Because it's a way of passing the baton. Why does everyone thing it means theres going to be another show so soon? It's a line of dialouge indirectly linking Enterprise NX with the Enterprise of Kirk and Spock.

    On TrekBBS Quills, who everyone says knows about the script, just posted that the Enterprise will be decommissioned in the finale which at least at some point is set a few years into the future (not the TNG era but a couple years from the current Enterprise timeline)
