Connor Trinneer Flattered by "These Are The Voyages..."

Features

By GustavoLeao / 17:32, 3 July 2005 / Enterprise

The lateest issue of DreamWatch magazine, just out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with STAR TREK ENTERPRTSE actor Connor Trinneer (´Trip' Tucker'), in which he once again talks about the series finale, "These Are The Voyages...", in which his character dies in a deliberate act of self-sacrifice, defending the ship from a squad of invading aliens. Here are more excerpts from the interview :

"The writers have a responsibility to get us put into the web of the historical context of the STAR TREK franchise in general, and so they are bringing 'Riker' [Jonathan Frakes] and 'Troi' [Marina Sirtis] back." he said "There's a holodeck story and 'Riker' wants to visit with our crew, kind of slip in behind the scenes, in a sense, and get to know 'Trip'. I'm flattered that the last episode is kind of about me. I'm also said it is the last episode. But I thinks ultimately, the responsibility that [executive producers] Rick [Berman] and Brannon [Braga] felt they needed to accomplish was to make a connection to the rest of TREK history and to bring [18 years of STAR TREK] full circle.

And who says they have to be portraying Kirk and/or Spock during TOS?

Re-read what I said. It appears to me that the Bs' intent was to tie Enterprise to the Star Trek television series that came before it. So in that sense, using Kirk and Spock from a later time period wouldn't have worked... just like they chose to depict Riker and Troi during TNG, rather than after the events in Nemesis.

The problem is we have seen so many holodeck stories over the years.

What I think was misused too often was the old Holodeck-run-amok episode: a computer glitch threatens the lives of crewmembers in the Holodeck. I don't think the Holodeck itself was misused, any more than the Transporter Room was misused in TOS. It's not the location itself that was the problem... it was its use as a device to create jeopardy.

See my suggestion above.

I'm not disputing that there may be other ways, in fact I said the opposite. But the poster I responded to (and who I quoted)seemed to feel that the show should have depicted Kirk and Spock in order to tie it to TOS. My point is similar to yours: that there are other ways to tie it to TOS... and I happen to think the episode did that.

And how much of that is sucking up to B & B in case he needs work on Threshold?

So when Coto talks about how much of a fanboy he is, he's being honest... not sucking up to the fans. But when he says something positive about something the Bs' did, then we have to question his motives.

At some point, we have to trust what people say.

In any case, I heard he has a two-year deal with 24... I don't think he needs Fleshold. ;-)
