Okay, nobody's going to care about this, but Star Trek: Enterprise fans rejoice! It's official. The show has been picked up for a fourth season, as UPN revealed this morning at the annual "upfronts" in New York. The show, whose future had not been guaranteed, has finally been given the thumbs up by the network. Like many good shows, it can take awhile for the audience to find it, live with it and see it develop. Enterprise has certainly evolved over the first three years, with the last season providing some great television along an extended story arc that featured a new race, the Xindi.

Zero, Who is Norman, He is referred to at the beginning of every episode but is never mentioned again?

[zero-x]

Actually, he's only refered to at the beginning of every TOS episode and the first few movies. From TNG onwards it was "no one" and that phrase hasn't been used on any series since. :lol:

No idea who he is though! :lol:

[stonekeeper]

I knew you would know who i mean't though :lol: :lol:

It only really works calling it Norman when you say the phrase in a Lancashire accent though! :lol:

Congrats on reaching 3000 posts, btw :bravo:

[stonekeeper]

Talking of accents someone at work today wound me up saying that the world wide web was first established in Yorkshire, after a pause and a bit of a row he claimed that was why its called eeeeeeeeeeeee mail :lol:

Rick Berman (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE) talks about ZERO HOUR for ENTERPRISE and the return of William Shatner to STAR TREK.

The SCIFI PULSE website has transcribed an interview with Rick Berman from the latest issue of the STAR TREK Magazine, out now in the U.K.

Berman says of the final episode of season three - ZERO HOUR, "It all comes to a real head in the finale. I don't know if resolved is the right word, but it's going to come to a very exciting end."

Recently, William Shatner commented on his idea for a possible return to STAR TREK and that he was going to approach Rick Berman with his idea. Well it seems he has done just that. Berman said in this interview that he had been in talks with William Shatner "We have had discussions in the last week, when we were talking with the studio about areas and directions we would like to go in next season, and there were two different ideas that we think could be developed into a good vehicle for Bill. And hopefully we're going to pursue one of them for next season."

:D

Rick Berman, Executive Producer for the STAR TREK franchise has told Dreamwatch Magazine (via TrekWeb) "I am involved in the very early stages of what could be the next Star Trek movie."

This news comes after a recent report that the next few STAR TREK films might be prequel films.

All though this original rumour claimed that Rick Berman was not going to be involved, we can now discount some of that report in light or Rick Berman's comments in the Dreamwatch magazine.

The only other details Rick Berman offered was that "It's something I will be producing with two other producers." So, it's time to throw all those prequel concept ideas back into the open, such as the Starfleet Academy idea and the founding of the federation.

The film will be some years off and it is most likely that the producers will take even longer to get the next film in the cinemas to make sure they get things right. By this time, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE may have finished and the actual federation forming might be better suited to a film on a much bigger scale than might be possible with a STAR TREK series.

Rick Berman also told Dreamwatch magazine that he is developing a non-STAR TREK sci-fi series with partner Brannon Braga. Both Berman and Braga have development deals with Paramount.

Although we are still waiting for confirmation of the future of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, this might be an indication that either Rick and Brannon are no longer going to be associated with the franchise as a series or they will take a reduced role in the fourth season, perhaps only producing and therefore taking a step back from the writing.

I'm a Doctor Who fan myself! And i'm very excited at the moment!

Star Trek is far too American.

[zero-x]

Too American? But it is American! It can't help being what it is! They had a British actor and actress in The Next Generation and the most successful film to date, Star Trek First Contact, and they have a British actor in the current series - Malcolm Reed the weapons officer - Star Trek Enterprise.

[Jon]

But American TV is simply fast food rubbish! Its McD's while British TV is Gordon Ramseys restaurant! Americans have been used to that rubbish for so long, they don't 'get' The Office!

A great cast, an exciting story, unpredictable plots, the latest FX, morals under the surface....thats going to be the all new Doctor Who!

[BuryBabe]

i think american tv can be good though e.g

Friends,
Buffy The Vampire Slayer,
Sex and The City, !!!
Will and Grace,
American Idol,
Six Feet Under, !!!
Nip and Tuck,

stuff like that i find good except will and grace with the constant overacting of gays does get tedious !

[Ulstershaker]

Jon wrote British TV is Gordon Ramseys restaurant!

Crossroads, El Dorado, Albion Market, The Premiership, Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Eastenders, Ground Force, Bargain Hunt, Catchphrase, Anything with Laurence LLewellyn-Bowen and Lynda barker / Carol Smillie / Alan Titchmarch / Tommy Walsh in it.

If that's Gordon Ramsey's restaurant I'm off to the chippy!

Star trek is funny. Should really be shown on Sunday afternoons around half 4, just as most peoples hangovers are lifting. Then it could bore them into Monday morning at the office.

What's with the ears? And the costumes look like something you could make on art attack.

Rant over. 8)

[zero-x]

We're talking early 1960s so prosthetics weren't very good, and they still wnated Spock to look human but just with a little difference, hence the ears, eyebrows and green blood. The costumes were awful, but they took a big change when Meyer was brought in for Star Trek I and they are okay in Enterprise as well.
