Star Trek Enterprise Tidbits

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-a-few-weeks-away dept.

Carlo di Bonk writes: "I found a good article about the new Star Trek Enterprise television evil forces. These evil villains are from the future and the mirror universe. It seems to be an interesting chance that it is a different mirror universe though, to one seen in Star Trek The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and other Star Trek television." Lots of little plot bits too, like the fact that they will have transporters, but they won't be trusted because they randomly kill people (like the first movie!) With Farscape running start to finish, my copy of Lexx Season 1 on DVD en route, and the new Star Trek a few weeks away, I think I need to take a week off ... a scifi sabbatical ;)

    just in case anyone is interested, the song from all the promos is called "Wherever You Will Go" by 'The Calling'

    startrek.com has all the promos/teasers available (in qt though)

    Ever heard of The Best of Both Worlds?

    The Enterprise did have a borg-turned-human on board. His name is Jean-Luc Picard.

    (TNG did it first, and TNG did it best. Jeri Ryan was simply added to Voyager for the horny-teen demographic.)

  4. A few other Tidbits about the show. by Anemophilous+Coward · · Score: 3, Informative
    Got these from a TV Guide mag. a few weeks ago:

    - the Enterprise won't have power shields, but rather heavy armor plating.

    - no tractor beams, but it will have grappling hooks (hrm, interesting. I can see episodes now where they are going to get dragged around).

    - the aforementioned lack of transporter usage, they rely on shuttles for getting down to planets and use the transporters for non-living equipment.

    - one of the male (human) characters apparently becomes pregnant (I'm not sure how I feel about this, seems like old hokey plots...but we will see).

    - Scott Backula (Capt. Archer), looks to be even more of a womanizer than Kirk.

    Well thats enough for now, here's to waiting for the premier to see if it's gonna occupy my attention on Wed. nights.
