Scott Bakula Talks ENT With Cinescape Magazine

Dept: Enterprise | www.stenterprise.com

Cinescape has posted the first part of an extensive interview with actor Scott Bakula. Unfortunately, a lot of his remarks manage to simply restate the basics about his character and the ENTERPRISE premise in different language than we've seen before; nothing new per se.

“What’s kind of exciting about all of this is that it’s the Wild West,” says Bakula. “My character and the ship are taking Earth into the universe. How we do that, how we present ourselves, and the mistakes that we make – he’s a very fallible kind of captain – makes [the series] really exciting.”

[...]

“Well, the big dynamic is I have a female Vulcan science officer and my character is not fond of Vulcans,” says Bakula. “He never has been, so we cross purposes a lot. Also being a pretty emotional fellow, her rational approach really bugs me. I say some pretty harsh things in the pilot about Vulcans and to a Vulcan’s face, but this is what’s great about this character – he has a place to go. He has some preconceived notions that are not all pretty. Because the pilot’s very grounded on Earth, there’s a great sense of where he comes from, his history and why he feels the way he feels about them.”

[...]

“Rick [Berman] was asked a question about whether any crews from the future would land [in this series] and he didn’t rule that out,” says Bakula. “There’s a reference in the pilot to the future, but that’s a whole other subplot thing that has yet to be explained to me, which is actually kind of neat because I’m learning as the character goes along what’s out there. I’m encountering the bad guys for the first time and don’t know them and what they are and where they’re from and why they’re behaving the way they are and then they’re gone. But we always assume they’ll be back.”
