A new review appeared online today of the script of 'Broken Bow,' the
two-hour opening episode of Enterprise, containing both more plot info
as well as thoughts on the quality of the series.
"[I'm] happy to say that, in current script form anyway, Enterprise is
the best Trek pilot yet," wrote editor Garth Franklin at Dark Horizons.
"[Enterprise] plays like a straight out action-adventure with the
characters getting down to business right away and a lot more phaser
shooting involved than all the previous pilots put together - the only
sentimentality creeping in with the very hokey last two pages. [...] Of
all the Treks I've seen before, the mix of politics and action as such
in this pilot resembles 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country' the
most - it ain't Trek at its best but its solid, very engaging and fun as
well as being more appealing to non-Trek fans."
Dark Horizons based its review on the second draft of the Enterprise
opening episode, dated November 2000. Changes may have made to the
script since then, though the basic storyline is likely still the same.
The review provides the following major new story points:
'Broken Bow' will show the first mission of Captain Archer's crew,
hastily pulled together to bring home the injured Klingon who crashed on
Earth. They will travel to Qo'nos in the S.S. Enterprise, the first ship
capable of reaching Warp 5, built by Archer's father. However, shortly
into the mission the Klingon is kidnapped by the Suliban Silik, who is
taking orders from an unknown power from the future. The Enterprise goes
after the Suliban to recover the Klingon and find out why the Suliban so
badly want him.
The relationship between Archer and T'Pol is described as similar to the
Skinner/Mulder relationship on the X-Files, with "a mutal level of
respect and animosity." As a Vulcan, T'Pol knows more about the
situations the crew encounters, but doesn't volunteer this information
until she has to. According to Dark Horizons, strong characters in the
pilot script include Doctor Phlox, whose brand of medicine seems to
involve lots of solutions with leech-like creatures, Comm Officer Hoshi
Sato, who has problems with traveling at high speeds, and Charlie
'Spike' Tucker, who is slightly xenophobic.
The Suliban, Enterprise's main recurring villains, are a nomadic race
who specialise in genetic engineering. Each member of their race looks
different, depending on which genetic elements are enhanced by the
faction they belong to, but most seem to have a chameleonic skin and are
able to crawl along walls and roofs. According to Dark Horizons, the
race itself has a lot of potential, though their leader Silik is not
very well developed.
The November 2000 draft of the script featured a mysterious figure from
the distant future, who the audience only sees as a shadow in a special
"temporal chamber," where time itself is distorted. This gives Silik the
advantage of knowing the outcomes of situations before they happen, but
also will lead to a Matrix-style fight scene in the pilot.
Interestingly, the first reports about Enterprise in early 2000 also
mentioned a villain from the 29th Century, though none of the later
reports included this aspect of the series. It is of course still
possible that this aspect was cut since November 2000.
The Orion slave girls mentioned last week
(
http://www.trektoday.com/news/170601_03.shtml
) will apparently indeed
not appear in the opening sequence, but may be featured later on in the
show, when the crew visit an alien underground market place. Malcolm
Reed and Travis Mayweather end up in an alien red-light district, where
they are offered the 'services' of the Orion girls by a space pimp.
Garth Franklin at Dark Horizons concluded by saying he felt 'Broken Bow'
would be "more elaborate, more gritty and more adventurous" than Star
Trek has been in a while. "Its certainly got off to a more interesting
start than either DS9 or Voyager did," he wrote. "It's the type of
series that will pull in newcomers and those who thought the spin-offs
lacked the gung ho and fun of the original series. [...] As a result I'm
sure opinion of this series will be more argued over than any previous
spin-off. - in my opinion though, it's not earth shattering but it's
certainly a very good start and should be an interesting show."
In the full review, containing much more info on the characters and the
premise of Enterprise, the episode was awarded a 7/10. As usual, please
be aware that Paramount has released no official information on the
Enterprise plot yet, and until then any such information from unofficial
sources should be treated as you would any rumour.
