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.

Different strokes...

I know I'll be shot for saying this... but I happen to think TATV is the second-best Trek finale. *However* (as you said) TOS had no finale, so to speak, and VOY and DS9 set the bar really low, IMHO. I mean, VOY's finale was typical VOY. And DS9's finale was god-awful, as I recall... a tremendous letdown to a fantastic series. And other (better) shows had awful finales... Buffy comes to mind. Sex and the City.

I agree in wishing the ENT finale had been more about the ENT crew. However, that they chose to make it a Star Trek finale, rather than an ENT finale isn't necessarily an insult to the fans or the cast. They were obviously trying to tie ENT to what comes after it (timeline-wise).

Did I think TATV was great? Absolutely not. As you said, the writing was poor and obvious, and the action not all that exciting. Do I think it's the worst piece of trash on television? No, as well.
