Entertainment Weekly's October 19th issue will feature ENTERPRISE on the cover and the mag has made several excerpts from the behind-the-scenes look and editorial on the new series available on its web site. Here are some excerpts:
The Sept. 26 debut of ''Enterprise'' -- the fifth ''Star Trek'' series in 35 years -- was a space ace in the hole, beaming up a stellar 12.5 million viewers. How earth-shattering an event was that for UPN? You'd have to time-warp back to 1995 -- for the unveiling of ''Star Trek: Voyager'' -- to see numbers bubblier than that. ''It's a reenergizing of the franchise,'' proclaims UPN chief Dean Valentine. ''The battery power was still there and it was working fine, but this completely turbocharged it.''
[...]
And this new captain promises not to steer you straight into a fearsome black hole of complex ''Trek'' mythology. Remember, this show is a prequel, taking place more than a century before Kirk & Co. blasted off. ''I keep telling everybody that you don't need to know anything,'' says Bakula. '''Star Trek' can be daunting in that it's 35 years and it's the history of this and that. And now we're starting from scratch. You don't need to have this big dictionary to back up everything happening on the screen.
So that would explain the sudden emergence of phrases like ''son of a bitch'' and ''knock you on your ass'' in the normally hypersanitary franchise. ''[It makes] the show seem more realistic,'' says Braga. ''Some people were offended by the expletives, though they were very tame by most standards.'' Diehard fans were also miffed by ''Enterprise'''s opening theme music, ''Faith of the Heart,'' which forgoes a sweeping orchestral score for a schmaltzy pop tune with -- gasp! -- lyrics. ''I wouldn't approve of this soft-rock garbage for a family sitcom 10 years ago,'' huffed one ''Trek'' message board post, ''much less for a new 2001 ST series.'' Well, at least the nitpickiness of the fans hasn't changed.
