Enterprise 02/25/05
 

Episode Title: "Divergence"

Why wouldn't Coto be involved in a movie? I mean hell, he pretty much made this season worthwhile. Oh wait, that would be too logical.

Oh, god... they're never going to get rid of him, are they?

-rolleyes-

Variety updated the article about the film, correcting the screenwriters name. It's actually Erik Jendresen. He wrote three episodes of HBO's "Band of Brothers".

Who wrote Khan and TUC? Have that person be the writer for any new movie.

Nicholas Meyer might be who you're thinking of, but he was an uncredited writer on Khan. Jack Sowards wrote the screenplay there.

I believe Meyer has said he only had interest in the original characters.

Okay. Who wrote First Contact. That's a good 2nd choice.

Brannon Braga and Ron Moore

Go Go Gadget Crap. Get Bermen out of there and I might get excited.

Meyer also did all the scenes in Star Trek IV that took place in the past.

Well, 1 outta 2 ain't bad. ;)

Berman.Berman.Berman. When are you going to learn. We dont want to see a new movie with new characters and we didnt think the last movie was Wonderful. Cant they put anyone at the helm that is in touch with the fans opinions?

Of course. Why else was Enterprise canceled after it started getting interesting?

Rick is still involved and it's going to be about a New crew so look for it to crash just like the Bridge in Generations.

From Trekweb..........
Variety raised eyebrows this week when in an interview with TREK producer Rick Berman the trade named "Eric Genderson" as the scribe brought in by Paramount to work with Berman and producers Kerry McCluggage and Jordan Kerner on an eleventh STAR TREK feature film. TrekWeb has confirmed from the writer of the article that indeed the individual in question is actually Erik Jendresen, one of the Emmy Award-winning producers of BAND OF BROTHERS.

Jendresen is an accomplished writer in many genres, having novels, plays, and screenplays to his credit. IGN FilmForce reviewed Jendresen's career aptl in a "10 Questions" interview posted in December 2003. According to the article, Jendresen has penned the novels THE FOUR WINDS and ISLANDS OF THE SUN as well as two children's books, HANUMAN and THE FIRST STORY EVER TOLD. Among his film credits are CRAZY AS HELL and DEADLOCKED, as well as several projects in development.

Excerpt from Manny Coto Interview:

Tim Brazeal : Which period of TREK history would you like to explore more ?

Coto : Personally, although I wouldn't really recommend doing another prequal, The most interesting would be the period during the STAR TREK feature films. However I'd recommend for the next series going to the 25th century because I feel that STAR TREK should move forward.
Tim_Brazeal : Do you think that STAR TREK needs a break?

Coto : I don't for a moment believe STAR TREK needs a break. In fact I think we need more STAR TREK. There should be a STAR TREK night on UPN. I believe there is an audience for the show. I think a lot of it has to do with promotion. I don't know how many times people have told me when I tell them that I'm working on STAR TREK, they're response is "Is that still on" Many people don't know we are here. The people who run around saying that STAR TREK needs a break are themselves in

Tim Brazeal : What plans do you have for season 5 ?

Coto : I have numerous plans. The most interesting that come to mind are an arc that would deal with the founding of the first starbase. Also, I want to do a multi-part arc that takes place on the cloud city Stratos. And I really want to visit Denobula and to possibly do a coulple more mirror universe episodes which I invision as almost a series within a series. But the central theme of the season would have been the true founding of The Federation.


Tim Brazeal : Any spoilers or hints on the final episode?

Coto : I'm going to hold off on giving any spoilers on the final episode because it was written by Rick and Brannon. But I can say that it is a very moving episode and that it will be a success.

Good Lord, these people are in denial.

"reread the charter, Article 14 Section 31"
well, it's official, that guy is from Section 31

seeing how things ended relatively peacefully I'm still left wondering.
Where's the disasterous first contact with the klingons mentioned in TNG?

That was a great episode. The whole warp sequence at the beginning was pretty cool and it was original which made it even better.

It was a pretty cool sequence with one ship being inverted.

Another good episode.

Yeah, I loved that. Star Trek doesn't acknowledge very much that space has no direction.

I can't even find the energy to get mad about it anymore. Their complete inability to face reality is just so damn funny that all I can do is sit back and laugh.

Not a bad episode, but since the premise was given to us last week, and we already know the future, it kinda seemed a bit like filler to me. I did like the way Phlox stepped up and took charge! That was quite entertaining!

That's what I was thinking...but it's not a star trek thing...just about any space movie has all ships on screen on the same plane...or axis or whatever(I'm sure a trekkie will chime in with the correct terminology). -smile-

That was so great in Wrath of Khan - Kirk and Spock beat Khan with 3 dimensional thinking.

I really enjoyed the Klingon headridge arc despite my initial misgivings about doing such a story. However, 2 things that I noticed:

1) Trip had an Enterprise patch on his uniform and spacesuit instead of the Columbia insignia.
2) How was the virus beamed onto the Klingon ship through their shields?

I'm pretty sure they had Trip recalibrate the phase inverters on the Starfleet standard issue Plot Device.

That's true- I can only think of a couple that didn't, notably Babylon 5, and Space: Above and Beyond (although I might be mistaken about that one; I haven't seen it in years).

I think trek has shown ships meeting each other and orienting themselves to be "level"
and DS9 had ships fly in all directions in the combat scenes during the dominion war

my main nit with this episode is: how does restarting the <i>engines</i> have any effect on the program running in the <i>computer</i>

Not a bad episode, but overall its still a weak series. Scott Bakula doesn't play the tough guy really well.....hopefully Al will show up and he'll leap to a better show.

1) The uniform is easy to explain since he came to Enterprise in the EV suit and had to just get an Enterprise uniform since he didn't bring his Columbia uniform. The EV suits could be specially sized and made for each person (since it does have their names on it) and he might not have had time to get the patch changed.

2) The only thing I can think is that they knew the Klingon shield frequency. They could be stupid enough to all use the same one and the transporters are automatically set to beam through them.

Do the Klingons have shield technology yet? Enterprise doesn't, so it isn't a stretch to believe that the Klingons don't.

klingons have shields. reed mentioned them

Oh, how far we've come ...

Cool Vader suit

Wow, a hundred people showed up to protest? The suits must really be shaking in their boots over that show of support. :rolleyes:

Wow, that opening sequence looked pretty sweet in HD. :)

Too bad we might not find out who returns the Klingons to their rightful appearance a century or so later. I agree with a previous post, the initial human/Klingon meetings aren't going according to Trek lore. Hardly unexpected though. ;)

Maybe they just develop a natural immunity to it.
