Titolo: [NEWS] Series V Character List

da 
http://www.trektoday.com/news/040301_01.shtml
Since before the end of 'Deep Space Nine', fandom has been speculating 
about the next Star Trek series, dubbed Series V by many. Over the past 
year the first rumours began appearing, suggesting the series would be 
set on a pre-TOS Enterprise, and in the past month Paramount officially 
announced it had begone pre-production. However, actual details of the 
next series' backstory were unavailable. That is, until now, as we 
present you what we believe is the full cast list for the next Star Trek 
series.
Last week, Paramount sent out a character breakdown for the next show to 
talent agents, indicating that casting is set to begin soon. We've been 
able to lay our hands on a copy of this breakdown sheet, thanks to an 
insider who wishes to remain anonymous. The sheet contains information 
on the seven series regulars, a recurring character and several 
characters from the pilot. As a word of caution, while everything 
indicates that this is in fact the genuine article, the below info of 
course hasn't been officially confirmed by Paramount yet, and so should 
still be treated as a rumour.
The breakdown sheet confirms many of the rumours that have appeared on 
the internet over the past years. Series V will indeed be set on a 
Starship Enterprise, under the command of human Captain Jackson Archer. 
The backdrop of the series will be the 22nd Century, at a time when 
starship travel was a relatively new endeavour, humans and Vulcans still 
had much to learn about each other, and the universe really was still 
filled with strange new worlds, new life and new civilisations. 
Read on to find out who will be facing the final frontier in the fifth 
installment of the Star Trek franchise! 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Captain Jackson Archer: Early 40s. Physical. Bold personality. Intensely 
curious. Born and raised an explorer. Unlike the Starfleet captains in 
centuries to come, he exhibits a sense of wonder and excitement, as well 
as a little trepidation about the strange things he will encounter. He 
holds a grudge against the Vulcans, who he blames for impeding 
humanity's progress. But his science officer is Vulcan, and he's 
struggling to reconsider those preconceptions. Although he has a strong 
sense of duty, he's a bit of a renegade - he's not afraid to question 
orders or even disobey them if he feels in his gut that he's right... .
Sub-Commander T'Pau: Late 20s, early 30s. Vulcan female. Austere yet 
sensual. She's the Science Officer assigned to oversee humanity's 
progress on board Enterprise. Although she's cautious and guarded around 
humans, whom she considers primitive and irrational, she's developed a 
grudging respect for Captain Archer. She'll become one of his most loyal 
and trusted crew members. .
Commander Charlie 'Spike' Tucker: Chief Engineer. Early 30s. A 
Southerner who enjoys using his "country" persona to disarm people. He 
has an offbeat, often sarcastic sense of humor. Spike was hand-picked by 
Captain Archer, who is something of a mentor to him. Although Spike is a 
brilliant Engineer and an outstanding officer, he has very little first-
hand experience with alien cultures, and he's often a "fish out of 
water" when dealing with new civilizations. .
Doctor Phlox: Exotic alien. Medical officer. Appears to be in his 40s, 
but we're not certain of his real age. Phlox speaks with a slight alien 
accent and has an eccentric sense of humor that no one quite 
understands. He thinks that humanity is fascinating. The Doctor has 
filled Sickbay with all sorts of bizarre medical instruments, alien 
plants and spores, and stasis chambers with small, living creatures. He 
practices a brand of "Intergalactic medicine" the likes of which we've 
never seen. This makes the most routine visit to Sickbay an unexpected 
adventure. .
Lieutenant Joe Mayweather: Helmsman. African American. Mid to late 20s. 
A unique product of 22nd Century life, Mayweather was raised on cargo 
ships. As a result Joe is more "interstellar" than even the Captain. 
He's travelled to dozens of planets and met many different alien 
species. Mayweather has an 'instinct' for space-travel that few humans 
possess. Joe's closest friend is Spike. Similar in age and spirit these 
two will spend their off-duty hours finding new ways to enjoy life in 
space. 
Lt. Commander Malcolm Reed: Armory Officer. British. Late 20s - early 
30s. In the new age of humanity's enlightenment, Reed is a bit of a 
throwback. He's a 22rd Century "soldier", all spit and polish and by-
the-book. Reed is filled with contradictions. Despite his near-obsession 
with munitions, he's soft-spoken, shy and awkward around women. When 
testing a new weapon, he's liable to put on a pair of space-age earplugs 
because he doesn't like loud noises. 
Ensign Hoshi Sato: Comm Officer. Japanese. Mid to late 20s. Striking and 
intelligent, Hoshi has a feisty spirit that often tests the patience of 
the crew. She's in charge of communications on Enterprise, but she also 
serves as ship's Translator. An expert in exo-linguistics, she learned 
to manipulate her vocal chords to emit a range of alien sounds no human 
has ever produced. She has a natural affinity for picking up languages. 
Hoshi doesn't like the idea of being trapped in a "tin can" hurtling at 
impossible speeds. Every time the ship jumps to warp she grips her 
console and closes her eyes. She's a "white knuckle" space farer. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silik: Late 30s to early 40s. Alien. Physically agile. One of the 
leaders of the Suliban, a deadly species obsessed with genetic 
enhancement. Our villain. [Note: Silik is described as a recurring 
character.]
Admiral Forrest: Human male. 50s to 60s. A career military man who's the 
highest ranking officer in Starfleet. He's fond of Captain Archer and 
has personally selected him to command Enterprise. [Note: Forrest and 
all further characters are non-recurring, and cast for the pilot episode 
only.]
Admiral Leonard: Human male. 40s - 50s. A high-ranking officer in 
Starfleet who serves directly under Admiral Forrest.
Commander Williams: Human male. 50s. A somewhat temperamental Starfleet 
officer who serves as attaché to Admiral Forrest.
Ambassador Soval: Vulcan male. Late 60s. A wise and arrogant diplomat 
who has very little patience with Captain Archer.
Tos: Vulcan male. 50s. Ambassador Soval's assistant. Shares Soval's 
disdain for human culture. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the breakdown sheet, shooting for the series is scheduled 
to begin on the 8th of May in Los Angeles. The project is referred to as 
'Untitled New Star Trek Series', and is described as a Sold Series, 
which would seem to suggest that a decision has already been made on 
where Series V will eventually air.
Again, as we have always done for all previous Series V news, we have to 
stress that the above info has not been officially confirmed by 
Paramount yet, and that until they make an official announcement on the 
next series any such news should be treated as you would any rumour. 
Meanwhile, major thanks go out to the person who passed along this info!
As previously stated by Viacom, the show is scheduled to premiere in 
Fall 2001. As we get closer to the launch date, it will be very 
interesting to see more details released, and eventually have some faces 
attached to the above characters. Of course, we will continue to follow 
all Series V developments closely here at TrekToday, so be sure to check 
back often!
Finally, lots of good wishes go out to creative team Rick Berman and 
Brannon Braga - let's hope that by bringing Star Trek into the 22nd 
Century they will also be able to continue to let it prosper in the 21st 
Century.

Tos: che sia un omaggio alla prima serie? :)
scusate se in qualche mio intervento sono stato un po' troppo acido: forse
ne verra' una gran bella serie, meglio di tutte le altre, ma al momento
questa idea non mi convince un granche'.

dici che sara' piu' piccolo di quello di Uhura? nel campo della tecnologia,
di solito si tende a miniaturizzare, non ad ingrandire.

E' l'esatto commento che ha fatto il primo utente di 
trekweb.com
E io mi sto trattendo molto dal dire la medesima cosa: sono un 
tencofilo, tutto cio' che e' tecnologia mi piace e mi affascina e l'idea 
di tornare indietro in una spece di steampunk-startrek non mi garba 
molto.
Ciao,

Ok per il "meno peggio", ma sarebbe stato piu' gradito "un po' meglio", 
non credi?

 non credi?
Sicuramente... ma io spero ancora che non sia vero niente.. boglio Rick
Berman che faccia un annuncio ufficiale con tanto di dettagli ecc. ecc...
in ogni caso cosi' com'e' finora mi pare una stronzata colossale.

ROTFL!

Stronzata colossale no, ma tavanata galattica sicuramente!  :-)))

davvero credi che se Uhura avesse potuto scegliere di non infilarsi quel
coso nell'orecchio, e ci fosse stato qcosa di piu' pratico, non avrebbe
scelto quest'ultimo? ;-)


Ehhh Luigi Tenco... :-)))))
No: Luigi Tecno... :-))


tanto ormai e' una barzelletta ^____^
