Pre -cancellation plans in the fifth season of institutions showed

“Star Trek: Enterprise” ran for four seasons between 2001 and 2005. It was previously placed in the 22nd century before Captain Kirk or Etihad, “Enterprise” also carries an embarrassing stored. The first “Journey” series was since it did not reach seven seasons and more than 100 episodes. (“Enterprise” barely absent from the mark in 98.), and half the first half of the stars, means that “Enterrise” has a reputation of black sheep. “The Foundation” did not killing “Star Trek” – JJ Abrams’ Star Trek “came out just four years later – But she finished 18 years of producing a new “trip”.

For “Enterprise”, the Creative Creator Brannon Braga, this gap was not the worst thing for “Star Trek”.

“I thought the time has come, (” Star Trek “) needed a break, he needed some time in order for people to want another,” Braga said in the Stlv17 Agreement. “Enterprise” was not the show that made people want more, but it could have been. “Enterprise” is the fourth season, when the late Mani Koto took the best chain. In that agreement mentioned above, Braga praised Coto’s work in the fourth season, which is more critical to himself. ((Braga feels that he was personally failed to write the “Enterprise” series“These are the trips …”)

“I think Mane has finally found (vote) the show, and it should be the fourth season in the first season, and I think the show should have been continuing,” said Braga. If “the institution” king Follow, what stories would you have been told? Was it possible to keep the fourth season momentum?

Several writers, including Braga and Coto, participated in their plans, “Enterprise” in the fifth season and stadiums over the years. There are enough details to get a wide picture of what the season was. Knowing these details, you can also see how the fourth season “Enterprise” was heading towards the fifth unannounced season.

Most of the “Star Trek: Enterprise” 5 Circle plans to one word: romulans! It was presented in the classic “Star Trek” episode “Balance of Terrorism”, ” Romollan is a branch of the astronomy who adopt passion instead of logic. They are some of the oldest “frequent” bad guys, as Kellingons preceded about ten episodes. Romollan is also famous for the companies titled RAPTOR, cancellation devices, the corresponding nature, and a Roman character. (It was adopted on the world He is His name is Romulus, after the legendary founder of Rome.)

The “balance of terrorism” proved that a century ago, the earth and the Romans went to war. The conflict in the peace treaty ended, which created a neutral area between the Union and the lands of Romulalan.

“Enterprise” was currently appointed when the Romulalan War had launched. However, the Romollan is in the “Foundation”. Before the fourth season, they only appeared in the second season episode “Minefield” as an enemy for the week. Instead, “Enterprise” initially focused on the story of the “Cold War time” on the factions fighting over time for future domination. The main bad guys in this were the Suliban, led by a beneficiary of the silhouette (and at the end it was never disclosed).

One of the changes in Coto was where the bidder chose Romulans to be the new comprehensive opponent of the series. One of the three episodes (“The Forge”, “Awakening” and “Kir’s”) revealed that Romulalan had infiltrated Volcan. Romulan’s agents, allied with Volkan V’Las (Robert Foxworth), pushed the people of Volcan and the government away from logic and towards militarization.

V’las and its partners exactly try to start a war with Volcan’s neighbors, and the Foundation’s crew. Another arc appeared (“Babel One”, “UNITED” and “The Aenar”) on Romulan customers using a drone bound to frame the other powers among the stars for the acts of aggression. (For example, 3D aircraft deny that it is a Tellarit ship and destroys an Andorian fleet.)

It is clear where this was happening. Romollan, who were long -suffering, was trying to ferment the turmoil and war between the main powers throughout the alpha quadrant. Then, they can come and wash the rest. Four founders of the union in the end – humans, volcanoes, Andrein, and the Eagratians – were gathering to oppose the Romollan. “Enterprise”, the fifth season, and chapters 6 and 7 are supposed to have linked the Romulalan war and the establishment of the union in the same event.

But there is also an obstacle that the “institution” had to adhere to it. The “balance of terrorism” mentioned that human beings and Romans did not see each other during the war, as they fought space ships and all of them. This was so that the episode could reveal dramatic as Kirk and Co. Learn that the Romollan is identical to Volcan. But this means that, via “Enterprise”, the heroes will never be able to meet any of the Romolian wicked faces. How can the exhibition deal or write that? This is something that can only be learned from seeing the idea of ​​implementation, which we have never seen.

The writer “Enterprise” Mike Sausman had a bold plan This would allow the heroes to meet at least one Romolian. He had an idea to reveal the T’Pol (Jallney Black), Volcan on the “Enverprise” actors, as half of Romollan. (Her father explained him as a Romolian spy.) Susman’s comments made this only his idea, but he was also confident that “I could have been sold (co -author Rick Berman) and Brannon on that.”

According to what was reported, there were plans to link the Cold War time with Romollan. Suleiman’s donor was revealed as Romulalan in the future trying to “incite” (or change) war. but, Braga He also claimed The master of Suliban will be a future version of Captain Scott Bakula, so that this part is not placed in the stone. But not all “Enterprise” plans, the fifth season, involves the Romollan.

In more union, foretold, the plan It was for Anourian Chan (Jeffrey Combs) to move from a repeated figure to one of the main actors of “Enterprise” Season 5. Apparently, he had joined the crew as a “assistant or advisor.”

Coto also had some unused ideas for season 4Like the establishment of the first Starbase base, and a group of two extended on the floating stratos from the original series “The Cloud Minders”. These can be easily reused for season 5.

Besides Romulaance, there was another major thread of “Enterprise”, the fourth season, leaving. The two parts “in the mirror are dark” transfer to the mirror world, where humans (or, instead, are from the expansionist conquerors and our heroes from the back. If “Enterprise” went for the fifth season, the plan was to reconsider the world of mirror. Braga said Discuss the resurrection complete Season in the world of mirror. “In the dark mirror” is fun, but following completely different characters for a full season may not have succeeded; The world of mirror works because it is no Star Trek base.

Judith and Garfield Reeves Stevens It is also required to Reconsidering the controversial Borg episode “Renewal”. The episode was placed in the star of Alice Craig and depicted the origins of her character The Borg Queen (originally unveiled from the Medical Starfleet officer).

The first two seasons struggled with “Star Trek: Enterprise” because the show did not have new ideas. But by the fourth season, it seemed as if the people who were displaying their passion for “Star Trek” and these ideas began to flow. It is a shameful thing that the show is just as it has made it also made people detained.
