Titolo: Berman entusiasta di ENT

http://scifipulse.net/Trek_ArchiveII/July2005/Rick_BermanSTM122July2005.html
In issue 122 of Star Trek Magazine which is out NOW. Rick Berman talked
about Enterprise and how he strongly feels that the show will still
resonate with viewers in another 10 years. Speaking to Ian Spelling for the
magazine Berman covered a lot of ground and even put to bed one common
misconception which many fans have about him.
In regards to Enterprise the producer still remains proud of the work. “I'm
extremely proud of it. To quote Scott Bakula, 10 years from now there are
going to be people watching Star Trek: Enterprise, whether it's on cable or
in syndication or DVDs, and they won't be watching the other shows that are
presently on the UPN network. Scott said that partially out of frustration
with all the changes in the scheduling and changes in the personnel and
administration both at the studio and at the network, and out of
frustration with the lack of promotion, etc. But I'm saying it because I
think it is true. I think that time will prove Star Trek: Enterprise to
have been a terrific television series. I am extremely proud of the cast.
I'm extremely proud of the 98 hours that we produced.”
 In regards to the final days shooting Berman related that it was a bitter
sweet experience and revealed that a special photograph was taken of all
those in the production team who had been involved with Trek for the last
18 years without any breaks. “We had a photo taken of all the people who
were on the show since Encounter at Farpoint, and that includes only people
who were on the show consistently, the whole time. Herman Zimmerman, for
example, left for one year and came back. So he wasn't in the photo. There
were 20 such people who'd been there the whole time and I was one of them,
so that last day was quite an emotional time.”
 When asked about his favourite Enterprise episodes Berman was hard pushed
to think, but eventually chose the following three episodes. “Of the
episodes that Brannon [ Braga ] and I wrote I think the pilot, Broken Bow,
and Shuttlepod One, are probably my two favourites. As far as other
episodes, I think Manny [Coto]'s episode Similitude was a lovely episode.”
 One commonly held misconception about Berman is that he is a producer and
a producer only, i.e. until Star Trek came along he had never actually
written scripts or story lines for any show. Berman put this to rest when
answering one fan submitted question which asked him about his producing
and writing background.
“I had been a writer and producer for more than 10 years before I came to
Los Angeles . I'd been involved with numerous programmes on PBS and HBO as
a writer and producer and director. Then I came to Los Angeles and I got a
job as a studio executive at Paramount , which was a job that I held for a
year and a half before I got back into producing. So my entire career, with
the exception of an 18 – month period in 1985 and 1986, when I was
developing stuff at Paramount , has been as a writer and producer.”
 As we all know, it has become somewhat of a tradition for cast and crew to
take something away with them from the set of a Star Trek show once it
wraps production, this rule was also in affect when Enterprise wrapped back
in March and even Rick Berman proudly set about acquiring a prop from the
set as a special keepsake.
“I took Archer's water polo ball. I'd also taken Sisko's baseball at the
end of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Actually, I think Michael Piller took
one of those, too. There are always more than one of these things. But from
Star Trek: Enterprise I took Archer's water polo ball.”
 You can read the whole interview with Rick Berman in the new issue of Star
Trek: Magazine which is out now.
