2001: A New Space Odyssey
The Sept. 26 debut of ''Enterprise'' -- the fifth ''Star Trek'' series
in 35 years -- was a space ace in the hole, beaming up a stellar 12.5
million viewers. How earth-shattering an event was that for UPN? You'd
have to time-warp back to 1995 -- for the unveiling of ''Star Trek:
Voyager'' -- to see numbers bubblier than that.
''It's a reenergizing of the franchise,'' proclaims UPN chief Dean
Valentine. ''The battery power was still there and it was working
fine, but this completely turbocharged it.''
Even juicier than the ratings, though, is the prospect that
''Enterprise'' could actually shape-shift the aging
''Trek'' franchise into a more mainstream success (currently,
''Enterprise'' is the season's top-rated freshman drama among 18- to
49-year-olds), pulling in the kind of folks who don't own
Federation-issue bedsheets. It's far from coincidence that the
''Trek'' overlords decided to drop two of the most hallowed words in
sci-fi from the show's title. ''I didn't want this to be 'Star Trek:
The Next Thing,''' sums up ''Enterprise'' cocreator Rick Berman. ''I
wasn't going to just create another spaceship and put another crew on
it. I couldn't do it. I knew he fans had enough, and I knew that we
all had enough. We had to do something dramatically different in as
many ways as possible.'' Just how different? Let us count those
ways....It takes a quantum leap away from ''Trek'' geek-ology. Are you
the kind of person who thinks the words ''Star Trek'' sound more
intimidating than a Limp Bizkit mosh pit? Before you run screaming
from the galaxy, there's a guy sitting in the captain's chair who has
a few words of encouragement for you. ''It's me! There's a familiar
face here!'' says Scott Bakula, 47, who is personally offering to ease
you into the series. ''It's like, 'Well, Scott will hold our hand.
Come on, it's Noah! Everybody get on the ark and we're going to be
fine.''' The ''Trek'' producers were certainly quick to jump on
Bakula's bandwagon -- though they insist the idea of helming the ship
with an established TV star (Bakula anchored NBC's 1989-93
time-tripping drama ''Quantum Leap'') was not the motivating factor.
''I was looking  somebody who had that kind of Sam Shepard, 'Right
Stuff' quality and Han Solo fly-boy quality,'' Berman explains. ''If
you take those two images and marry them, you get something that's
pretty damn close to Scott . And he's got that boyish charm. You'd be
hard-pressed to find a woman who didn't find  attractive.''
And this new captain promises not to steer you straight into a
fearsome black hole of complex ''Trek'' mythology. Remember, this show
is a prequel, taking place more than a century before Kirk & Co.
blasted off. ''I keep telling everybody that you don't need to know
anything,'' says Bakula. '''Star Trek' can be daunting in that it's 35
years and it's the history of this and that. And now we're starting
from scratch. You don't need to have this big dictionary to back up
everything happening on the screen.So that would explain the sudden
emergence of phrases like ''son of a bitch'' and ''knock you on your
ass'' in the normally hypersanitary franchise. ''[It makes] the show
seem more realistic,'' says Braga. ''Some people were offended by the
expletives, though they were very tame by most standards.'' Diehard
fans were also miffed by ''Enterprise'''s opening theme music, ''Faith
of the Heart,'' which forgoes a sweeping orchestral score for a
schmaltzy pop tune with -- gasp! -- lyrics. ''I wouldn't approve of
this soft-rock garbage for a family sitcom 10 years ago,'' huffed one
''Trek'' message board post, ''much less for a new 2001 ST series.''
Well, at least the nitpickiness of the fans hasn't changed.

Ok, forse la traduzione non e' proprio letterale, ma il senso e' quello.
