Doctor Phlox on Season 2 of Enterprise

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

Steve Krutzler writes "TrekWeb has posted a brand new interview with actor John Billingsley (Doctor Phlox on Enterprise). He talks all about the second season of the Star Trek prequel including the upcoming episodes "A Night In Sickbay," "Minefield" (featuring the first encounter with the Romulans!) and "Dead Stop." He also talks about the character of Doctor Phlox possibly falling into the 'Neelix Trap' and says he wishes the series would kill more people off like the original Star Trek!" Billingsly was great on a recent episode of SG1 too. I'm seriously excited for the next season of Enterprise. I don't think I've ever said that about any of the other Trek series.

    Bah.

    We all know the first encounter with the Romulans was in TOS episode "Balance of Terror", featuring none other than Mark Lenard (who went on to play Spock's father Sarek) as the Romulan commander.

    Pppht. I'm a girl too ya know :P

    Commander Tuvoc (Voyager) bled green in several episodes. As far as I know blood color continuity has been consistent across all Star Treks.

    Enterprise has not dealt with alien blood colors to this point to my knowledge.

    Of course, this'll probaly cost me Karma as its pretty much offtopic.

    grrrrr.

    check out the pinstriping on the Enterprise uniforms.. they have the colors that represent different sections.

    Red is engineering and security
    Gold is command
    Blue is science and medical

    Think of it this way. There is a temporal cold war going on. There is quite a bit of subterfuge on both sides and no doubt plenty of assassination attempts on key figures thoughout history. Minor timeline inconsistancies are merely the work of time terrorists.

    Plus, there is a good chance that the Computer on the Enterprise will be damaged in a future episode before they get a chance to get back to Earth. Star Fleet computers seem to be very susceptable to this sort of tampering, as every third alien speices they encounter seems to be able to figure out the root password (which is apparently "password"). If the records were lost then it would account for the scarce anecdotal evidence the NCC-1701D crew had on the Ferengi when they first met them. Lord knows that nobody in Star Fleet has ever kept a backup.
