Could TNG Stunt Casting Save 'Enterprise'?

Posted by timothy on from the vote-off-the-space-island dept.

Tycoon Guy writes "It seems Star Trek: Enterprise isn't about to go down without a fight. TrekToday is reporting that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis will guest-star on the season finale of Star Trek: Enterprise, to reprise their Next Generation roles of William T. Riker and Deanna Troi. Hello stunt casting! The news has been confirmed on Sirtis' official fan site."

  1. Wouldn't this require a time-portal thingy? by Dancin_Santa · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about they just do it the old fashioned way and revive the series by reversing polarity and firing anion thrusters to create a temporary wormhole that can act as a gateway to the ratings.

    No... That didn't work at all for Voyager...

      Two things saved Voyager, and they were both attached to Ms. Ryan.

    Apparently, the last scene in this episode is a shot of 'The Fonze' donning water skiis.

  4. Better idea by t_allardyce · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about instead they ditch those two, save all that money and instead spend it on a 45 minute long lesbian scene between t'pol and hoshi, no not some crappy kid-safe scene, a proper late-night special, go beyond the final frontier, the next generation, boldly! and it could even involve some elaborate time-travel scenario where they must get completely naked or else risk being stranded in a half-way dimension. Now tell me seriously that this episode won't get viewers?

  5. Closing lines of the series finale by serutan · · Score: 5, Funny

    [Enterprise 1 set vanishes, replaced by empty holodeck]

    Riker: [taps badge] Riker to bridge. Captain, the runaway holodeck virus has been destroyed.

    Picard (heard through communicator): Very good Number One. Mr. Crusher, ahead warp 5.

    Troi: How are you feeling?

    Riker: Hungry. For a hot fudge sundae. In your quarters.

    Troi: [knowing smile]

    Theme music up, Enterprise D goes into warp. Roll credits.

    Somewhere I read that the premise behind "Star Trek" was, "Let's see what's out there," while the premise behind the new "Galactica" is, "Run like hell, they're after us."

    The premise of the old "Galactica," of course, was, "Run like hell, they're --ooh, a casino planet!" First recorded instance of a TV show with ADD.
