Enterprise’ Archer Spinoff Would’ve Been About

During the summer, we learned a little about how Star Trek: EnterpriseThe captain of the team, Archer himself, Scott Bacola, was working with producer Michael Sausman on the field a trip Spinoff collection after the name called Star Trek: United. Now, thanks to Sawsman, we have a little better idea than what the series may require … and one day is still Be able to.

Talk to Trekmovie’s All access to Star Trek Podcast recently, Susman revealed more details about the proposed preparation unitedAnd that was built on it projectThe brief detection in the fourth season of the mirror world “in a mirror, dark”, was scheduled to become Captain Artcher one day one of the first presidents of the emerging union in the emerging union. The series, which Sawsman previously described as closer to Star Wars Political excitement tension AndorIt was placed on Bacola’s involvement, only to be rejected due to a wider reduction in the financing of broadcasting before selling the last company to Skydance, as well as the sympathy for the next material Starflet Academy Display, which will also be set mainly on the ground.

According to Susman, united Will Archer’s political duties travel in the early years of the existence of the union while exploring his family life? “Archer will be in a place in his life where Scott [Bakula] Type from now, where a family man was silenced. “I got four adult children. Therefore, Archer gave four adult children, and the story about her as much as she is, because it is because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is, because it is because it is, because it [Archer] He lived this diplomacy life … His family originated this sense of service. So he had these adult children, one of them is part of the diplomatic corps, and the other is in Starfleet, another person in the union intelligence. So his adult children can be brought to this story in a very organic manner … they will be an integral part of the story we were telling. “

Although the desire was to include familiar faces from project In meaningful ways, note Suusman united He would have focused on Archer and a smaller group of new characters, instead of capturing with others project Personalities. But one thing is the writer of the producer an act You want to pick it up was planned project It would have been built on itself if it had not yet ended. Star Trek Backstory, which plays in one of the most famous episodes of the original series in all ages, “Balance of Terrorism”.

The effects of the Romulalan war, which does not actually lead to anyone from the union vision Romolian even “balance” events, and explore how this can be the case in the end, will be an essential element in united. “Something became clear to me from the comments since we started talking about it for the first time [United] Susman explained that the fans say they have never seen the Romulalan war. [in the Enterprise series finale]. I share their frustration. So I want to show [some of] This, and for a specific axial moment, is not just a pure fan service … “

“… it seems that the union, or the people of the earth, as well as Romollan, does not want Volcan to know who they are,” Sawsman continued. “And why will that be? I think this is an interesting question.”

Unfortunately, we may never know, given that Paramount has already been rejected united Once after early conversations. But now, after Paramount has become a Skydance owned and has a supposed renewed focus on broadcasting – and beyond Starflet Academy And two other seasons Strange new worldsand Star TrekThe future of its flowing TV in the air – Sussman still has a glimmer of hope united It can see today’s light.

“It is a fan, as a fan of privilege, it seems that they say” we want to do more Star Trek Susman concluded that the flowing broadcast, we want to do more films. ”I do not know what their plans are, but if their plans are involved Star Trek When broadcasting, something like that is part of it. I mean, for me, more crazy things have happened. “

More mad things have occurred Star Trek It itself in this flowing renaissance, too. What is the return of the other familiar face at this stage?
