Enterprise Picks New Crew Members
Just a few of the changes coming to Star Trek's torch-bearer.
 
July 24, 2003 - The producers of UPN's Enterprise are shaking things up as
preparation begins for the show's third season. New stories, new cast
members, new story arcs, and new aliens are all in store for Captain Archer
as his crew occasionally goes where no one has gone before.
During a press conference on the 22nd, and in a subsequent interview with
Sci Fi Wire, producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga described some of
these changes in detail.
The biggest change to show may come in the form of several new crew members
as soldiers from a Starfleet unit called Military Assault Command
Operations. Is Star Trek turning from a franchise about peace and
exploration to war and confrontation? It certainly signifies a major shift
in the philosophy of Star Trek. 
"They're kind of semi-recurring and will be used on certain away missions,"
said Braga, referring to the new characters. These roles haven't been cast
yet, by the way.
A key story arc in the upcoming season will involve the new Xindi race,
introduced in the Season Two finale. This storyline will eventually merge
with the Suliban and Temporal Cold War plots. The Xindi, by the way, are
actually an alliance of five different species, two of them
computer-generated.
Even the core bridge crew are in for some changes. Capt. Archer will be
given a darker persona   no more Mister Nice Guy. "The idea of being the
peaceful 'We-come-in-friendship' [guy], ... that guy is gone," actor Scott
Bakula in the press conference. Hmm   even Picard at his toughest and most
uncompromising always pursued friendship and peace first. Am I the only one
who misses him in the captain's chair?
T'Pol will be released from her loyalties to the Vulcan High Command  
something that added interesting tension to the crew relationships.
Instead, she'll begin exploring emotions and humanity and correcting the
misconception that Vulcans don't wear different hairstyles.
TV Guide got some extra gossip about the show after the press conference.
When asked about T'Pol and love interests, Braga said: "If we see any
romantic interaction between Ms. Blalock [T'Pol] and anybody on this panel,
it's probably the man sitting to her left." He was referring to Connor
Trinneer, who plays Trip on the show.
Braga also explained the rationale for inserting another save-the-Earth
storyline into Enterprise. "Of the Star Trek movies, two of the most
successful and popular, amongst both the general box office and the fans,
were Star Trek IV   the one about the whales   and Star Trek: First
Contact. They were both movies that dealt with impending destruction of the
Earth, huge stakes that Enterprise and its crew had to go out and undo. So
our thought was that, rather than just have a general mission of exploring
space peacefully, [we'd] do a portion or maybe even an entire season where
we had a very specific and a very immediate and a very dangerous situation."
Braga and Berman still insist that the show is not stagnating, and that its
creators are not to blame for slipping viewership. What is responsible?
"Don't know," says Braga. "Don't know."
Enterprise Season Three begins September 10th on UPN.
