Titolo: Braga Seeks To Reinvent Trek With 'Enterprise'

Da 
http://www.trektoday.com/news/200801_02.shtml
Brannon Braga doesn't deny that the Trek franchise needs a new image for 
the twenty-first century - in fact, that's exactly what he set out to 
create with the latest series, Enterprise. 
"There's part of me that thinks Paramount should fire and replace me," 
Braga told TV Guide's (
http://www.tvguide.com/
) Michael Logan. "But I 
think Rick [Berman] and I are the perfect guys to deconstruct and 
reconceive Star Trek, because we know exactly what the problems and 
frustrations have been all these years." 
Scott Bakula (Jonathan Archer), the latest (or the first, depending on 
your point of view) in the long line of Trek captains, thinks that the 
strategy will pay off. "People are wondering if Berman and Paramount 
should have waited a while - maybe laid low for a year - before doing 
another spinoff, but I'm sensing a groundswell of excitement," he said. 
"I think the fans are very ready to reenlist." 
The sentiment is shared by media analyst Steve Sternberg of TN Media. 
"The Star Trek fans know their stuff, so it's better that Enterprise be 
done by people who really know Trek history," he said. "Besides, I think 
[Berman and Braga] will be reinvigorated by the new premise." Sternberg 
added that a one-year break from Trek "might have been a good idea, but 
UPN really needs a successful new show. And I think they have one with 
Enterprise, because people will look at it as a new sci-fi show rather 
than another Trek show." 
This is certainly something that Berman and Braga were aiming for. 
"Hopefully the people who've been put off by the enormity of the Trek 
backstory will check us out," Braga said, "because you don't have to 
know anything about Trek to watch this one." According to the producer, 
even the 'Star Trek' brand name has been dropped to create "a bit of a 
postmodern vibe." 
Despite this, the TV Guide story featured evidence that Trek's backstory 
will still be respected in Enterprise. The article featured a photo of 
the masks used for the Axanar, a race of aliens seen in the second 
episode of the series. This race was mentioned in Original Series 
episodes such as 'Whom Gods Destroy' and 'Court Martial,' where Kirk was 
said to have been awarded with the Palm Leaf of Axanar. 
Finally, in keeping with the attempt to present a more 'out there' look 
at the cosmos, TV guide revealed that one of the male crew is set to 
become pregnant. Connor Trinneer (Charlie Tucker) said that his 
character would experience the "first human male pregnancy" in an 
episode that he described as "very funny." 
--------------------------
Current franchise head Rick Berman also talked briefly to TV Guide about 
the next Trek feature film, which he expects to start shooting in 
October. 
Berman confirmed that the film will feature "a race that we've never 
seen before," namely the Remans, from the Romulan sister planet. The 
film is touted to have an exciting climax, according to the producer, 
who said that "there is a major surprise at the end." 
Currently, Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard) and Brent Spiner (Data) are 
the only actors to have signed onto the project, Berman said. He 
debunked the rumour that Sean Connery had ever had a role in the film, 
though he added that he'd happily write that in if Connery would be 
interested.
Although Paramount had not yet greenlighted the film, Berman expected 
shooting to begin in October, with a possible August or Thanksgiving 
2002 release.

BB... una volta era solo Brigitte Bardot, all'epoca piu' gradevole
di questi altri Bed & Breakfast, oops, Berman & Braga.
A parte tutto, lasciamo da parte i "fanatismi" e le discussioni
interminabili sulle YATI, qui c'e' stato l'uragano B&B e si
ricostruisce: stiamo a vedere che succede, no? The Show Must Go On,
arricchire la Paramount.

 arricchire la Paramount.
e' vero. e' solo che alle volte mi lascio un po' troppo trasportare dal
pessimismo, e non penso che potrebbe venirne fuori qualcosa di buono...
ah, alle volte mi lascio pure trasportare _troppo_ dall'ottimismo...

 creato per almeno 17 stagioni :-(
LOL! Sbaglio o già hai tenuto fuori le 7 di VOY dal conteggio?

E se restassimo sani e pragmatici accontentandoci di aspettare?
Tanto ci si fa solo il sangue acido. :)

Bhe, allora spero proprio che canal Jimmy ne compri i diritti, di tutte e
sette le stagioni ovviamente!
Ciao ^__^

episode that he described as "very funny." 
L'idea non e' molto nuova ne originale, mi chiedo solo come mai
non si sia vista poi nel futuro, anche quando serviva.
