Tja, serien får dåliga tittarsiffror för ögonblicket. Men det får ju alla SF-serier för ögonblicket (de som finns kvar).



Och ingen vet vad UPN vill än, svaret kommer antagligen den 20:e.

[rehnvall]

Vilket avsnitt är detta Ents högvatten märke? eftersom Xindi historien kommer troligtvis att klaras upp inom några avsnitt, om manusförfattarna inte får idetorka och säger att reptilerna gömmer ett nytt vapen...

Titta vad bra serien blir om man tar med lite kontunilitet. Ents sändnings sifror beror nog på hur mycket reklam man gör för den och på vilka sändnings tider man sänder serien.... alla vet hur TV4 gör futurama går så dåligt (kanske för ni sänder den mitt i natten)

[Peak]

Jo, jag såg din post på startrekdb:s forum..

Jo, förhoppningsvis så kommer de sista två avsnitten i säsongen att leverera ett tillfredställande slut. Jag har väl vissa aningar om hur det kommer att gå, men just nu håller jag mig från spoilers.

*hoppas på en säsong 4*

Three Endings To 'Enterprise'?

Author: Alan Stanley Blair

It certainly has been a long road for Scott Bakula, star of the UPN series "Star Trek: Enterprise."

Speaking on "The Wayne Brady Show" for the second time this season, Bakula (Capt. Jonthan Archer) revealed the possible endings for the third season, which is nearing its climax. And guess what? There's more than one.

"Well, there are all these wonderful rumors out there," Bakula said on the show. "I think we shot three endings. One of them, we get back to Earth. One of them, we don't get back to Earth. And one of them, the ship gets back to Earth and I'm not alive."

Brady "oohed" and "ahhed" at the news before Bakula offered jokingly, "And the other one is something about I wake up and I'm on a couch at William Shatner's house. Talking to him ... I'm not kidding."

Brady then went on to ask about the USA Today "Save Our Show" poll, in which "Enterprise" took 70 percent of the vote to stay on the air.

"You know, the fans, especially this year -- I think we've had a tremendous third season -- and everybody loves the show," Bakula said. "In fact, we were off for, I think, six weeks, and we came back on with an original program, and we were short of the wrestling on our network -- we were the No. 1 show, again, after six weeks of being gone. So, the fans are so loyal, and so supportive. And, again, whether that poll will help swing any of the minds that are trying to decide ... But, we are still in limbo; and we don't know what's going to happen."

Bakula joked that both he and Brady (who's show will not be returning next season) could end up "working at McDonald's" together.

The "Enterprise" season finale, "Zero Hour," airs on May 26 on UPN. The show airs regularly Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Ah... Gillar många olika slut - hoppas alla kommer med på en eventuell DVD-box

[rehnvall]

Det låter inte bra, de visar att Manus författarna inte har en aning om vad de vill göra med serien....

[Robert Jonsson]

Knappast. Det här en allt vanligare strategi för att undvika att det läcks ut spoilage. Läcker det ut vet man ändå inte vilket som är sant.

[Robert Jonsson]

Så några mer uppdaterade rykten om det här då vi vet att Enterprise kommer tillbaka?

NEXT GEN actor heading for ENTERPRISE?
Brent Spiner slated to appear in three episodes next season

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dateline: Monday, July 12, 2004

Reports have cropped up from fans that attended last Saturday's Sci-Fi Expo held in Dallas, TX that NEXT GENERATION actor Brent Spiner will make an appearance next season in ENTERPRISE. Spiner, who brought to life the character of Data in the television series and four NEXT GEN films, won't be reprising his role as TREK most familiar android but instead playing the human grandfather of Data's creator, Dr. Noonian Soong. Spiner will appear in three episodes of ENTERPRISE.

The news of Spiner's appearance on the UPN series was broken by Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) to the audience. While the news hasn't been officially confirmed by anyone working on the ENTERPRISE staff or the show's network, producer Rick Berman has stated that one of his plans for next season is to bring "familiar" characters to TREK fans onto ENTERPRISE. Until today's news the only known possibility of a former STAR TREK series star appearing on ENTERPRISE had been William Shatner.

Ah, en gammal "stjärna" återkommer i alla fall

Det finns fortfarande chanser för Shatner oxo, men Ent-gänget har blivit bra på att undvika spoilers. Jag sammanfattade de viktigaste (imho) på siten för några dagar sedan:

[Robert Jonsson]

Jo, använder man sig av storyarcs så försöker man ju inte få dem spoilade

[Kermit]

Fan vad jag stör mig på den äckligt smöriga titellåten till Enterprise. Det ska vara pampigt och symfoniskt som de andra Star Trek, ingen Michael Bolton-kopia som sjunger någon "Faith of the hearT-smörja (eller vad det nu var)

[Robert Jonsson]

Nej, jag gillar den. Voyager har ju krönt sig själv med världens sämsta och mest tråkiga samt största sömnpiller till vinjettmusik. Under mitt hela liv har jag aldrig hört en vinjettslinga som jag kan säga vara ens i närheten av lika dålig.

DS9 är något bättre, men inget att hänga i granen. Så den nya musiken är guld värd IMO

[Peak]

Michael Bolton-kopia

Rod Stewart gjorde originalet... (Låten återfinns i filmen 'Patch Adams' ursprungligen).

Och säsong 1-2 introt fick man ju rysningar av... Passade så bra till serien. Säsong 3-introt är aningen omgjort och det tyvärr till det sämre...

[Robert Jonsson]

Jo, jag får hålla med om att remaken är sämre. DS9 blev bättre efter det, men det nya till Enterprise ryser man till... av smärta

[Peak]

Där fick alla som sade att vad som helst var bättre än det "hemska" originalintrot iaf..

[Kermit]

Tycker sångaren låter precis som Michael Bolton och jag har väldigt svårt för den låten. Bilderna i introt är bra, men musiken? Bllläk.

Paramount Television has announced that production on the fourth season of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE has commenced this week. All of the show's seven principal cast members are returning for more missions while the series will be changing its orbit from Wednesday to Friday evenings at 9 PM starting this fall. The fourth season's first episode is entitled "Storm Front Part I".

Here's the official release from Paramount Television:



STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, the most recent installment and fifth television series from Paramount's long-running and ever-popular Star Trek franchise, begins production on its fourth season this week. The series is moving to Friday nights at 9:00PM (ET/PT) and will resume with the episode entitled, "Storm Front Pt. I" (airdate TBD).


Last season, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE took a startling new direction, which presented some of the most spectacular action and visual effects in Star Trek history. It was the first time a Star Trek series followed a season-long story arc, which chronicled the crew as they were confronted with their greatest challenge: saving Earth from a new race of threatening time-traveling aliens, the Xindi. These aliens, first seen in the second season finale, launched a preemptive strike against Earth, killing millions. At the conclusion of the third season the crew successfully stopped the Xindi's super weapon from destroying Earth. However, in the process, Captain Archer (Scott Bakula) was seriously injured and transported to what appeared to be World War II-era Nazi Germany.


Over the course of the third season, Archer conjured a greater decisiveness and toughness that was necessary to lead his crew into the dreaded Delphic Expanse and destroy the Xindi's super weapon. T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) left the Vulcan High Command and consequently shed her Vulcan hair and clothing. Though the Xindi weapon has been destroyed, she remains unconvinced that those traveling in space and the Earth itself are safe.


In addition to Scott Bakula and Jolene Blalock, the cast members include: Connor Trinneer as Chief Engineer Charles "Trip" Tucker III, Dominic Keating as Lt. Malcolm Reed; Anthony Montgomery as Ensign Travis Mayweather; Linda Park as Ensign Hoshi Sato and John Billingsley as Dr. Phlox.


Manny Coto, co-executive producer of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, joins the ranks of show runner alongside Rick Berman and Brannon Braga this season. Shortly after graduating from the American Film Institute, Coto wrote and directed an episode of TALES FROM THE CRYPT. He went on to direct the feature film, DR. GIGGLES and the children's film, STAR KID. He was also a writer and producer on the series OUTER LIMITS and created the series ODYSSEY 5 for Showtime. He joined the writing staff of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE in 2003.


Rick Berman and Brannon Braga are the executive producers and creators of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, which is based on Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry. STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE is produced by Paramount Television for UPN. Paramount Television is a unit of Viacom Inc.

Producers Reveal Tidbits about Season 4

WARNING!  CONTAINS SPOILERS!

A 22nd-century Dr. Soong, a shadow of the Eugenics Wars, a Vulcan civil war and the possible reincarnation of Surak ... these are some of the epic ideas being developed right now for the unfolding fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise.

Tuesday night UPN held its annual summer party for the Television Critics Association (TCA) — like every network does — where reporters get to mingle with the producers and cast members of its various shows. This year the party took place at Shutters, a ritzy hotel on the beach in Santa Monica, on an upstairs outdoor deck overlooking the ocean.

Attending from Enterprise were producers Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and Manny Coto, and actors Scott Bakula, Jolene Blalock, Connor Trinneer, Dominic Keating, John Billingsley, and Linda Park with her boyfriend Tom Hardy (yes, the Picard clone from "Star Trek Nemesis"). We managed to catch up with most of them throughout the evening, but today we will bring you our interviews with the producers, and save our conversations with the actors for a later article.

We were particularly excited about the chance to speak with Manny Coto, who came on last season with the title of co-executive producer and is now considered a "show runner." Coto has been widely praised by the actors, his fellow producers, and fans alike for bringing a creative shot in the arm to Star Trek: Enterprise, beginning with his script for "Similitude." He had just come from the Showtime series Odyssey 5, which ended after one season, but Berman and Braga saw the show and liked his work, and after interviewing him hired him as co-executive producer.

We asked Coto, what unique creative vision does he think he brings to the show? "Well, first and foremost, I bring a passionate love of all things Star Trek," he said. "I've loved Star Trek since I was a little kid. When Star Trek Communicator magazine was doing a little article on me, I went through my box of old photos, and I found a shot of me at age 11 watching Star Trek on TV, with a picture of Spock on the screen. In that same box I found a comic book that I had written — I must have written this when I was 10 — and it was a Star Trek comic book, with 'Beam me up Scotty' and all this. And I realized, 'Oh my God, I've been doing this my entire life!'"

He attended conventions in his hometown of Orlando, Florida, and has followed the subsequent series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, "all the way."

We asked Coto to elaborate on the "showrunner" role he's taken on with Enterprise. "What's been publicized, that Rick and Brannon have stepped back and I've moved in, is not exactly true. I've kinda moved in with them, so to speak, so we're all three running the show. I'm actually more in charge of writing, I guess, dealing with the writers and the 'writing room,' coming up with stories that Rick and Brannon approve or not approve, or give notes on."

"A lot of the stories that we're doing this season — so far, the first half of the season — are stories that I've come up with, or that Rick has come up with or that Brannon has pitched, and then we flesh them out in 'the room.'"

We asked if he could elaborate on some of these story ideas — especially pertaining to the recently reported guest role of Brent Spiner in three episodes. "Well, it's a very exciting arc. Brent is going to play an ancestor of Dr. Soong, the creator of Data. However, this character is more of a Dr. Frankenstein. He is not a benign individual. He has brought to life 20 embryos from the Eugenics era. So you have Soong who's leading a band of Khan Noonien Singh's, so to speak. He believes that genetic engineering was on the right track! He wants to improve humanity, and he believes that the Eugenics Wars were an aberration, that these individuals are the future of humanity. Of course he's wrong — they get away from him. They get out of control, and it becomes this three-episode saga that's kind of like 'Apocalypse Now' — Enterprise becomes kind of like a ship going up river, trying to find these individuals, with Soong on board."

Spiner's character will be named Arik (like "Eric") Soong. The backstory, Coto explains, begins 20 years prior to the time of Enterprise (presumably 2134), when Soong stole the 20 embryos which were secretly stored in a Starfleet facility, and brought them to term. Arik Soong is a notorious criminal, and Coto even compared him to Hannibal Lecter — "He's tried to escape many times, and he's feared, because Earth is still terrified of anything having to do with the Eugenics Wars." But his help is essential in tracking down the renegade "genetic supermen" who could ignite a war with the Klingons.

The adventure leads the ship to the "Borderland," which is an area of space between the Klingon Empire and the Orion Syndicate. This will be the first encounter with the Orions, and we will get to see the green "slave women" introduced in "The Cage."

"What I really wanted to do this season is make the episodes that I as a Star Trek fan would have to see. You know, as a fan of the original series, if I heard that they were doing the Orion slavers and the Eugenics Wars, I would have to be in front of that TV."

But we had to ask about the place of the Eugenics Wars in the Trek universe. In "Space Seed" it was clearly established that the Khan-led conflict occurred in the 1990s. However, in "Hatchery," Archer mentions that his great-grandfather fought in the Eugenics Wars (which would probably put them in the mid-21st century). How is Coto dealing with the chronology issue?

"I'm not dealing with it. There's no point. They were in the 1990s because the old series ran in 1966 and that was the future then. Clearly, we're in 2004, and there haven't been any Eugenics Wars that I know about! So, simply, the Eugenics Wars 'happened' — they happened in the past [relative to the current show]. I don't know how else to do it."

There is another three-episode story arc being planned for later in the season that Coto is tremendously enthused about, one that deals with a civil war on planet Vulcan. "If you've watched Enterprise and you watched the old series and Next Gen, you know that there's a difference between the Vulcans of our era and the Vulcans of later eras. Our Vulcans lie, our Vulcans are monolithic, our Vulcans are not pacifistic. What we've done is develop an idea: What if an individual appears on Vulcan who is saying to the populace that we have strayed from the teachings of Surak? This individual is like a Martin Luther. And he spawns a Vulcan civil war."

He nicknamed it "Vulcan of Arabia" because it's an epic story taking place almost entirely on the hot, desert planet. "It involves a Vulcan Reformation," he continued. "I'm equating the Vulcan High Command with the Catholic Church, which in medieval times strayed from the teachings of Christianity; similarly, the Vulcan High Command has strayed from the teachings of Surak. This individual wants to bring us back to those teachings, but it causes instability on Vulcan because he's preaching pacifism, he's preaching pure logic, he's preaching a return to the old ways. But, he not only believes in the teachings of Surak, he believes he is Surak. He claims that he possesses Surak's katra. Is that true or isn't it? We'll find out. But what happens is, with the instability on Vulcan, you have the Andorians trying to take advantage, and it threatens to destabilize the entire region. And of course, Enterprise will be stuck in the midst of this turmoil, and by the end of this three-episode arc, we will begin to see Vulcans approaching what they were in the later eras. We'll see the beginnings of a new Vulcan."

"It's gonna be a blast. I'm picturing the scene where two Vulcan armies are poised on the desert — what's gonna happen, will they or will they not fight?"

In this epic story arc, he also promised a subplot which will unravel into a very intriguing plot twist.

Of course, these ambitious plans beg the question of whether there will be enough budget to realize such imaginative visions, given reports that UPN is paying Paramount a lower license fee for the show. "The budget has gone down slightly, but it's not gone down as much as has been reported. We're not slaving under a horrible miniscule budget at all. You're not going to notice," he promised.

"It should be a fun season."

We also caught up with one of Coto's partners in crime, Brannon Braga, and got him to talk about the first story arc of the season, the followup to the cliffhanger of "Zero Hour" starting with "Storm Front" (which is in production right now). It's been rumored that this "Nazi story" will wrap up the Temporal Cold War throughline. Is that true?

"Our intention is to resolve the Temporal Cold War once and for all," Braga replied. "It lingered for three seasons, and we would like to finish it off in grandiose fashion, and move on to new territory. So, with these episodes, it will be the last of Daniels, and the last of all of those elements." We will see Silik and the Suliban once again during the Nazi story, but Braga added that "most likely" it'll be the last time. "It's hard to say for sure, because we're so early in the season, but our intention is to be done with it."

Will the identity of "Future Guy," Silik's shadowy boss, ever be revealed? "Well, we've been debating that for quite some time, and I'll leave that question open. We haven't decided yet. We have some ideas about him — or her — or it. But we haven't settled on any one identity yet. It's still a question mark. The Temporal Cold War may resolve without Future Guy's identity being revealed."

It's been widely publicized that William Shatner could make a guest appearance on the show. What can he tell us about that? "There have been some preliminary discussions with William Shatner, but it's so far from being resolved that I hesitate to comment because I don't want to jinx it. We so badly want it to happen, but it's so early that I don't really have much to say about it. There's interest on both ends, but Bill is on a different series [Boston Legal], and we're just starting our season, and so much has to be done before it actually happens. We all have our fingers crossed."

Any notion yet what kind of story Shatner might be involved in if he does come on to the show? "There are some ideas floating about, but we're hesitant to commit to anything or start actively developing anything, until we know whether it's a reality," Braga said.

Earlier in the day, UPN held a press conference for the TCA with Les Moonves, co-president and co-COO of Viacom, and Dawn Ostroff, president of entertainment for UPN. The emphasis of the press conference was UPN's new shows and its revamped schedule in general, but Moonves — whose recent promotion puts him in charge of Paramount Television as well as UPN — and Ostroff took some time to speak about how Enterprise fits into the network's lineup.

Enterprise is moving to Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT starting August 6, and the new episodes of Season 4 will begin October 8.

Ostroff commented that the Star Trek spinoff is one of the shows "that have the most loyal viewers on television," and expects the audience to follow it to Fridays. She said the season-long arc of last season "really worked well for us," but the fourth season mini-arcs "will allow people to come in and out a little more freely." She added, "We're very aggressive in 'stunt casting' this year, which I think will also bring in some viewers." She mentioned Spiner, but also noted that Golden Brooks of Girlfriends will guest star in the first few episodes. "And we're working on several other people."

Moonves spoke about the licensing fee cut (related story) that reportedly helped keep the show on the air. "Paramount came to us — that was before Paramount was reporting to me, so now I'm negotiating with myself," he joked, "and they made a very attractive offer to UPN to bring the show back... Obviously Paramount has a large syndication deal with Star Trek. They gave us a very attractive offer and therefore, it fit into our scheduling needs."

Moonves confirmed that, as Paramount chief, he would like to see Enterprise go a full seven years because of the syndication value. But as UPN chief, he has to make other considerations in the case of a show that's been seen as an underperformer for the network.

"If Star Trek had cost the license fee that it cost a year ago, a different decision may have been made," he said. "I can tell you right now the key, the priority goal, is building UPN." However, he believes the move to Friday for Enterprise, coupled with America's Next Top Model, is "a much better strategy. I think we'll do a much better number there with that show, and perhaps it can live for a number of years. We hope so."
