Enterprise changes for next season (per Rick Berman) POTENTIAL SPOILERS

From www.darkhorizons.com

Enterprise (TV): Sci-Fi Wire talked with executive producer Rick Berman recently, providing more details on the changes in store next season, most notably new cast members - "For the first time on a Star Trek series, we're going to be dealing with a mission to save Earth. We'll be dealing with a different group of aliens, (and) we're going to be dealing with some new non-Starfleet people coming on the ship to add a little muscle for the potentially violent situations our crew will be coming up against. One of our characters is going to lose someone back on Earth during this devastating blow. There's going to be a major change to T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), based on whether or not she'll join the crew in going into a Bermuda Triangle-like region of space".


"First time" mission to save Earth?

• Quoth Bandoman •<HR SIZE=1>"First time" mission to save Earth? <HR SIZE=1>


That quote is taken out of context. I'm sure he meant to say, "the first time since the last time."

I'm willing to bet the "major change" for T'Pol involves a new, skimpier wardrobe.

Does Rick really not know anything about his own franchise, or does he just not care?

I for one would not complain if they went back to TOS uniforms.

Alot of the stuff Berman described sounds like the things they wanted to do with Voyager.

Is that a bad omen?

I posted this in the "last straw" Enterprise thread a while back:

Spoiler:
Enterprise will reportedly embark on a new mission into a Bermuda Triangle-like area of space in the season finale, according to spoilers which recently emerged online. British science fiction magazine DreamWatch reported the NX-01 will head into a "dangerous area of space" against the advice of the Vulcans in "The Expanse". The reason for this course change is said to be part of an effort to stop "a new alien race from wiping out life on Earth".

This new voyage for the Enterprise crew won't be a complete departure from the show's previous storylines, with the magazine reporting the plot will be related to the Temporal Cold War story arc, which has been part of the series since "Broken Bow". The article indicated some new recurring characters may appear in season three as part of these developments.

According to previous rumours about "The Expanse", the NX-01 will be called back home after a devastating attack on Earth. Captain Archer will reportedly renew his relationship with a woman called Rebecca while on Earth, only to tell her his new mission will take him away for a long time.

I don't understand how he managed to describe the future direction of the show without using the word "Borg" or the phrase "T'Pol's erect nipples".

Thanks, Chew - I remember that post now that you bring it up.

I think I found a pic of T'Pol from one of next season's episodes: Link

Especially when they hardly deal with the ones that they are supposed to become friends with....Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites, etc.

Berman was a producer for TNG
Best of Both Worlds was a TNG episode
a main plot point of Best of Both Worlds was saving/protecting Earth from the borg
does he have no memory (or did he come onto TNG after that ep?)
more evidence that "saving earth" is nothing new
(granted previous mission, like ST4 was a movie not an episode)

Maybe he meant to say it was the first time in the chronological history of the Enterprise that there has been a mission to save Earth (Enterprise well before TNG).

Oh, wait, it's Berman. Nah, he just screwed up.

Not even that, In First Contact they saved the earth years before the timeline of Enterprise.

I don't see how Berman can't care about Star Trek.
What else is he going to do?

Why, oh why, do I have this terrible fear that a Borg of some kind is going to join the crew.

Please god, make it stop.

The writers have no memory. Sitting in on a pitch session in Braga's office, Lisa Klink pitched a couple stories (this was before she came on as a story writer. She started as a writer's intern after I had left.) He asked me what I thought of her pitches and I was stunned. "Brannon doesn't it remind you of an episode YOU wrote?" I asked. "Which one?" "Frame of Mind." "Hmm.. oh yeah."

Really, the writers on Trek rival Chris Claremont and the X-Men. They rehash so many old episodes into new stories.

Oh Brother.....

Another nail in the coffin of this franchise ever since Berman and Barga took over this frachise things went downhill and fast what is the problem with the Paramount executives do they not see what is going on here do they care? The way things are going Enterprise will not last very long and all these changes are just cosmetic and lack any real substance.

Look, you people are talking like things were consistant BEFORE B-n-B took over, but you KNOW that that isn't true-- there have been such a vast number of contradictions, inconsistancies, and plot holes between past episodes of past series that entire SERIES of books have been written to list them!
