master_q 0 Posted May 3, 2003 “The Expanse” UPN today published the first image from Enterprise's sophomore season finale, "The Expanse". The episode sees the Enterprise NX-01 recalled to Earth after a devastating attack by an alien species known as the Xindi. Starfleet orders Enterprise into a region known as the Delphic Expanse to track down the Xindi, against the advice of the Vulcans. While the Vulcan High Command may not have the authority to stop Enterprise's new mission, they do have power over the vessel's first officer, Sub-Commander T'Pol. UPN's photo, seen here to the right, shows Jolene Blalock as T'Pol and recurring guest star Gary Graham as Vulcan Ambassador Soval in a scene from the episode. The photo's caption reads as follows: "When a mysterious and deadly force emerges from the far reaches of the galaxy threatening to destroy all of humanity, T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) is given a direct order from the Vulcan High Command not to participate in this mission." Enterprise's season ender will set up a new direction for year three, which will be detailed in the May 10 issue of TV Guide (story). While speaking with British magazine DreamWatch recently, star Scott Bakula (Jonathan Archer) made his first comments on the upcoming changes. "Our mission was peaceful exploration," Bakula told the magazine (via Sci-Fi Pulse). "Well, that's great, but I don't know that you can build that kind of TV series in this day and age for a long period of time. So I think what you're going to see is a different kind of energy come into the show that's going to give it a little more weight." "The Expanse" will air May 21 on UPN. --TrekToday http://www.trektoday.com/news/030503_01.shtml Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted May 3, 2003 I can’t say and really no one can say right now if this new direction will be good. I’m a bit skeptical and think that’s understandable (for me or anyone else) because a lot of the moves people like Berman have done were not that good. Jumping right to war or something like that does not necessarily going to make the show better or give it better ratings. And really the most important thing for me is that the show gets better versus just better ratings. The show’s quality is more important to me. I have said this over and over again about the fact that TNG did so good because of its very high and great quality it had. Of course we can’t turn back the clock or make ENT into a new TNG. That’s not the point. We need new and a fresh adventure. Now ENT seems to be getting some kind of direction. Before this I don’t think the show had one. Time will really tell if this new idea or direction of the show will be good. Hopefully it will and I also hope that it expands on the human equation because that’s really what ST is about.
