TrekNation just posted the transcript of Voyager actor Robert Picardo appearance at the Central Station Hotel, Glasgow, Scotland, in which he answered questions from the audience. Picardo was somewhat critical of the new Trek series, ENTEPRISE, when answering the following two questions :
Question : What do you think of Enterprise ?
Robert Picardo : I hate the theme music ! I put my face in my hands when I first heard it. Deep Space Nine and Voyager had brilliant, slow moving, epic pieces. I really wished they had got Jerry Goldsmith to score the song.
I know they wanted to get away from the Star Trek brand name, which is why they dropped it from the word Enterprise, to try to get in new viewers, who might have been put off by the name Star Trek - which is why they picked a contemporary piece of music, and dropped the space special effects from the intro sequence
Question : I was watching Enterprise with my children, and the shower scene, with T'Pol and Trip came on. I was very embarrassed - why'd they do that ?
Robert Picardo: I agree. It's show at 8pm over in the States. It was completely unnecessary, and gratuitious. If they wanted to develop a future romantic relationship - that was no way of doing it.
The character of T'Pol is also a suspicious copy of Seven. If I was Jeri Ryan, I'd be a little bit annoyed. It's a case of pandering to teenage boys, on "let's put another woman in a tight catsuit". I don't think it was necessary to do that again.[...]
You can read the full transcript, in which Picardo talks about Voyager and his fellow cast member here.
