That's a Wrap: "The Expanse" Calls for Most Sets, Guest Stars Since Pilot (SPOILERS)

PROMENADE

Dept: Enterprise | stenterprise.com

The official STAR TREK web site has posted its final production report of the season, as the ENTERPRISE crew prepares for its 10-week hiatus. "The Expanse" was a fitting end to the season, according to the report, requiring the most interior sets and guest actors since the series pilot "Broken Bow."

Adding to the UPN synopsis that confirmed the previously reported plot points yesterday (story), the production report says that after a mysterious attack on Earth, "Ambassador Soval informs Archer that the Delphic Expanse is notorious for bizarre occurrences, and few ships that enter it are ever seen again ... leading Archer to liken it to the Bermuda Triangle. Believing there will be a second attack, Archer tries to convince Starfleet to let him take Enterprise into the Delphic Expanse to seek out this mysterious new enemy."

The list of sets for the episode includes a Klingon ship bridge, Klingon High Council Chamber, Vulcan ship bridge, an Inspection Pod, Admiral Forrest's Office, a Suliban vessel, the temporal chamber, San Francisco's Chinatown, the Starfleet headquarters exterior and even a Starfleet hanger first to be glimpsed in "First Flight" on May 14th.

The guest cast includes:

Gary Graham as 'Soval'
John Fleck in his first appearance as 'Silik' in "Shockwave, Part II"
Vaughn Armstrong as 'Admiral Forrest'
Daniel Riordan as 'Duras' from "Judgment"
James Horan as 'Future Guy'
Serena Scott Thomas as Archer's romantic interest 'Rebecca'
Bruce Wright as Vulcan doctor 'Fer'at'
Gary Bullock as a Klingon Council Member
Dan Desmond as the Klingon Chancellor.
Josh Cruze as 'Captain Ramirez'
Jim Lau as Maitre d'
David Figlioli as Klingon Crewman 1
L. Sidney as Klingon Crewman 2

The episode was penned by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga and directed by veteran TREK finale helmsman Allan Kroeker. To read more about the episode's eight-day shoot, check out this page.

New direction?
By Iron Helix ( ) at 05:33:12 on April 12 2003

Does this "new direction" that they are taking mean they are ditching the presumed overall series plot of the Temporal Cold War and the Suliban?

Woohoo! Kitchen Sink baby!
By Maestro ( ) at 09:56:21 on April 11 2003

Always wanted ENT to do a nice "Kitchen Sink" ep ala DS9's Call To Arms.

It's nice to see Silik again, and I'm actually curious as to what role he will play, since the Suliban are not the ones that attack Earth. Does he:

1. Team up with Duras to ambush Archer and kill him(that would get a number and change the direction of the show).

2. Save Archer from Duras and provide some Hannibal Lecter-esque perspective on the race that attacked Earth.

(I think option 2 would be pretty interesting)

Here's another thing to think about. I remember in Harry Knowles' review of AOTC he says "the devil uses truth as a weapon, because he is expected to lie." So it would be interesting if the Romulans DID send the probe that attacked Earth, but another race (eg Breen or Sheliak) emerges as a viable suspect. Silik would tell Archer that he's going after the wrong people, that the Romulans were actually responsible. But Archer would think that he is lying so he goes after this new race. The Romulans use this time to grow stronger and observe the way Starfleet fights.

More guest stars and more sets dont make a good show though.
Again the people in charge of Enterprise dont have a clue.

Show us more of the world!

Echoing some other comments, the world does not end at the suburbs of San Francisco. I think it would be great to see New York, London, Tokyo - and I bet the megacities of Asia would be quite a sight in the 22nd century when there would no doubt be at least 50 million people in each one (look at Chinese cities today and their rapid Skyscraper construction)

Nows your chance to show a united world that has overcome centuries of differances and show it as an example to todays hate-filled world.

Hell, bite the bullet and show a bustling Middle-Eastern city - Show 22nd Century Baghdad :D (Ok, thats too far but you get the idea.)

no real view of earth, just san francisco, which is largely 'preserved' from around 2003, for historic purposes of course.

Few points
By PhaserBoy ( ) at 01:51:48 on April 10 2003

Berman said that new direction will be introduced in finale and more dramaticaly in season 3.

"As usual, the visual effects team will provide some impressive imagery, which will include the probe attack and its aftermath, the murky perimeter of the Delphic Expanse, and a few surprises"

Thats why i think that we will only see the ships of new spicies called Romulans. :) at least i hope so

Well...

...We might not be encountering this new enemy, just judging by the guest cast. Unless they're CGI creatures. Or if we only see their ships. In any case, I wonder if this episode will feature the "ditching" of the Suliban, who really haven't been that great of a villain species.

It sounded so good until Silik and the TCW showed up. Now what?

It seems like all of the ongoing characters of the series are in this episode except Shran! I am glad we are finally going to see Future Guy and Silik again. I was worried that with John Fleck's new series we would not see him for awhile. I am not surprised we are seeing alot of the "First Flight" sets. They most have planned this when they built them. I am looking foward to "The Expanse" more than I have to any other Enterprise episode so far.

While this does sound cool, I'd love to see more than San Fransisco.

Question

"Serena Scott Thomas as Archer's romantic interest 'Rebecca'"

Wasn't that the girl Archer met in the Risa episode last year or is this someone new?
