Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars

Actually I thought I read that Paramount/Viacom was looking into mixing and matching characters from different shows (I am assuming they meant TNG-DS9-Voy) though I suppose that would also allow you to bring in Nimoy, who appeared on TNG.

So let's see, a Romulan War set in the time of TNG (rather than the original) with Spock, Picard, Data, Worf, Sisko, O'brien, Tuvok and the Holo Doc.

I'd pay to see that.

Spoiler Warning
Enterprise Spoilers Revealed​

Rick Berman, executive producer of UPN's Star Trek: Enterprise, revealed to SCI FI Wire several spoilers for the upcoming fourth season, including the possible casting of original Star Trek star William Shatner (Capt. Kirk) in a familiar role. "We're still discussing it with Bill," Berman said in an interview at UPN's fall press preview in Los Angeles. "He had a terrific episode [idea], and we had a nice long lunch meeting with him a couple of weeks ago. And there's a lot of things that need to get ironed out in terms of scheduling, in terms of money. ... But he would play an incarnation of a Kirk, yes. He would not be playing another character."

Berman added that the upcoming season will feature several stand-alone episodes and "miniarcs" of two or three episodes, as contrasted with season three's season-long Xindi storyline. "We're going in new directions for the fourth season, and hopefully there's going to be a mixture of smaller arcs," Berman said. "The first two episodes are going to be a small arc. And then there's going to be a single episode. And then there's going to be a three-episode arc. And there's going to be some levity, and there's also going to be some heavy subjects dealt with."

Among the other spoilers Berman and cast members revealed to SCI FI Wire:
•In addition to the previously announced guest appearance of Star Trek: The Next Generation star Brent Spiner as an ancestor of Data's creator, guest stars will include Girlfriends' Golden Brooks and The Sopranos' Steve Schirripa. "He plays a character in 1944," Berman said, referring to the season premiere.
•T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) may find herself getting married in episode three, Blalock said in an interview.
•The long-standing Temporal Cold War arc will be resolved in the first two episodes.
•The new season will be the first shot entirely on high-definition digital video instead of film as a cost-saving measure. UPN renewed the ratings-challenged Enterprise in part because Paramount, which produces the show, agreed to lower its license fee for the series.
•Manny Coto, a writer (Showtime's Odyssey 5) who joined the series in the third season and was responsible for many of the Xindi storylines, has been promoted to "show runner," in charge of the day-to-day operations and writing, while previous show runner Brannon Braga steps back into a more executive role.

Star Trek: Enterprise returns to UPN on Oct. 8 in its new 8 p.m. ET/PT Friday timeslot.
 


Why do we need a "Kirk clone"? ::snippets of "I Think I'm A Clone Now" start running thru the brain:: :lol:

Who would T'Pol marry? Whichever that dude [can't recall which character it was] was in season 1 that she had to share the decontamination chamber with?
 

When I read about this show I had visions of "low tech" space travel with a more of a submarine feel than an Enterprise-D feel, which is what we got IMO. More of a missle based combat instead of "phase canons" which are just phasers. No viewscreens and low tech communications and sensors compared to the later shows, I do like how they don't use transporters very much, and plenty of stories that draws off the background of given in the other shows. Instead I got more Star Trek as usual. And it wasn't even well written.

I love TOS, liked DS9 & TNG, was apathetic about Voyager...but I don't care in the least for what has been done with Enterprise. I know I was dissapointed that I didnt' get to see the history of the other shows in action, but I would have kept watching it if it had been interesting. It wasn't even that.
 

A) Who says it's a clone. Sounds to me, it's supposed to be the real deal.
B) Well, she did have a romantic plotline going with Trip in season 3, although
I'm thinking that she might be gettin' married to that Vulcan she was supposed
to marry earlier in the series, but decided to postpone the wedding to stay on
the Enterprise.
 

Braga is leaving the writing position and is letting someone else who is a better writer step in to run the show's direction...that's a positive isn't it???
 


Yes!
The Temporal Cold War will be over!

Maybe we'll be getting like the other end of one of those accidental time-travel episodes, where instead the traveller's friends have to save him, the receivers do.

And probably have a son named Sarek...?

Overall I have been dissapointed with the show in terms of story writing and characterization. I was expecting a prequal along the lines of TOS with people not too different from people today. The Birth of the Federation, the Romulan War, exploration of space, old school Klingons, Orions and a gritier feel to the show. Instead I got time travel and a more TNG feel than TOS.

I have to more or less agree. I want more old-school and less time travel retconning. I want more Andorians, Tellarites, Klingons, and especially Romulans, not Suliban, Xindi and whatever other alien they're using to show us, "Look, we can do more than foreheads now!". I wouldn't say Enterprise sucks, but the episodes I like have nothing to do with the TCW, Suliban, Xindi, or Daniels ex Machina.
