Manny Coto Reveals His Plans for ENTERPRISE Now Shelved Fifth Season

Features

By GustavoLeao / 11:25, 9 June 2005 / Enterprise

The latest issue of STAR TREK Magazine, just out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with STAR TREK ENTERPRISE producer Manny Coto, Here are a few excerpts:



Coto revealed that had they got a fifth season, it would have followed directly on from the events in the two-parter episodes "Demons," and "Terra Prime" "If we had gotten a fifth season, it would have been about the real meat of the Federation being founded," he told the magazine. "I would have melded that to a bit of a return to the exploration theme of the show. We would have found new members to join the Federation and watched it come together in a series of episodes that would have spanned the entire season."

Coto said the fans would have the opportunity to see the floating city of Stratos, the Cloud City which was first introduced in THE ORIGINAL SERIES third season episode "The Cloud Minders". "Along with the Mirror Universe episodes, that was something I really wanted to do." he said "I hoped to do it this season, but we just ran out of episodes! It's a pity. That probably would have been the opener to Season Five. It breaks my heart."

About the show's cancellation, he said "STAR TREK has been around for 18 years in this incarnation and it's the same old [format] - we're on the Bridge, here's the captain and the same kind of crew composition and interactions. When something fresher comes along like the new BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, I can see the urge to tune in and see what else is new out there."

More from Coto can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

Manny Coto is the best thing that has happend to Trek in a long time.
I agree on certain issues, and don't on others.
One of which is the notion of a 25th Centry Trek.
Look I like TNG,DS9 and tolerated Voyager.
But enough already.
You might as well do Star Trek: Titan. Taking Wing was a very good read by the way, but I think people want to see the Romulan Wars. I know I do.
and its easier to base the technology that we have currently to evolve slighly for the show. What we need is a character driven show.
Why did NYPD Blue last so long? Good Stories and change of cast. Each had a different dynamic.
Look at Homicide:Life on the Street another great show.
BSG the new incarnation. Tigh is a Alcholic!
See they are officers but they have lives that evolve and change. Some die some leave.
You need that.
