In this interview with Rick Berman, the Trek producer reports that “Enterprise” will return to the classic roots of Star Trek, while giving writers more flexibility than TNG, DS9, and Voyager. It’ll also make your whites whiter and your brights brighter, apparently.
A Darker Show
I like the fact that they seem to be looking for the freedom to show a darker side of humanity. That courage is exactly what makes Deep Space Nine the best Trek series so far, in my opinion. I’m actually starting to get my hopes up for this one.
I’ve been looking forward to this…
…since I heard that Scott Bakula will be playing the
lead. Scott is incredible, and deserves another good
show to star in. So, while I still hold out a secret
hope that there’ll be a Quantum Leap movie, I can enjoy
Scott trying to out-Kirk Shatner.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this series
goes. I think that DS9 (definitely the best Trek
series) laid the foundation for conflicts, both between
crew members and other species. Hopefully “Enterprise”
can use this as a blueprint.
