About the new ST film, in a TV Guide interview Berman mentions it will, 'center around an epic space event that occurs after Enterprise, but before TOS'. So it could be anytyhing, since we really dont know much about this time.
In response to the idea about connected movies, it is a good idea. What I think could work even better would be different ST miniseries. In a miniseries that lasts somewhere from 4-12 hour-long episodes could cover some of the more interesting events (Earth vs Rom war for example), and it wouldnt have to be cut down so it could fit into movie form. I would also think that it would not cost a studio nearly as much money to make a miniseries like this, as it would a full motion picture. (But then again, they may not make as much money off it if it wasnt in the theatres...
). The psooibilities for stories could be endless in between the different miniseries.
Anybody else out there see the final Enterprise? Ugh, what a stinker! In my opinion, the
only good thing about this episode was the few nice CG shots they showed of the ENT-D. Looked alot nicer there than the old model.
The episode was supposed to be about Ent going home to be decomissioned, to make way for Starfleet's new Warp 7 ships, and for Archer to give a speech at the signing of the Federation charter. Do we see anything about the new ship... No, do we see anything about the Federation charter..., No.
Just a bunch of Riker, trying to make up his mind about an important decision, and for whatever reason, watching what the Ent crew did on its final mission helped him out.
A horrible ending to a fairly good, but often not very well written Trek series.
