Greg Norris and Laura Van Fleet continue their trip through the Paramount offices, this time interviewing Scott Bakula for Trekgalaxy:
On funny things that happen on the set: "There is just so much fun that happens every day - I mean we're laughing all the time. I think our biggest fear at this point and time, which kind of amuses us - Dominic [Keating, 'Malcolm Reed] and I were sitting in the Shuttlepod last week. Our characters were in the middle of a huge electrical storm with rain and lightening and all this shaking and trembling. And we just both looked at each other and said, 'I hope that what we're doing doesn't make us look like we are both total idiots.' The director told us not to worry, that our shaking is going to match that of the camera. But after making ourselves tremble and shake for a few hours, we started to feel really stupid. And I have to say that I hope they make us look good, because when you do effects like that you are so at their mercy. Obviously, the people here at Star Trek certainly know what they are doing, so Dominic kind of said it tongue-in-cheek. But we got laughing just about how silly it was to be bumping and shaking, and then having different versions of it. This was only our fifth hour and we already had eight different levels of turbulence where we had to know what's a jolt and what's a shake and what's a tremble. We're getting accustomed to those kinds of things, though, sometimes we still deal with, 'you're not shaking the same way I'm shaking - will you shake the way I'm shaking, please?'"

On why Archer's first named was changed: "It was just a clearance thing, something that happens all the time. Apparently, when the producers checked, there is one Jackson Archer living in the country, and if there is one, you can't use the name. But if there are twenty or more people with the name, like Jonathan Archer, you can. It's as boring and simple as that."
[...]
On whether the actor would like people to know more about his character or himself: "I wouldn't say anything about the character, because we want as many surprises as we can throw out there - if there is any way to surprise anybody anymore in this age of information. I want to leave as many things unknown as possible for the fans to discover as we go along."
