'Hoshi' Growing Space Legs Next Year, Berman on More "Expanse" (SPOILERS)

PROMENADE

In the new issue of Star Trek Monthly, out now in the United Kingdom, ENTERPRISE executive producer Rick Berman talks more about next week's season finale of the series, "The Expanse." He says the events will setup the new direction for season three, inside the Delpic Expanse.

"The Vulcans refuse to go in, The Klingons refuse to go in," Berman teases. "The few times anyone has gone in before, the result has been disastrous. Enterprise has no choice but to go in and try to prevent what could possibly be the cataclysmic end of humanity."

Berman says Linda Park's communication officer and translator 'Hoshi Sato' will finally shed her timidity next year, making way for a more confident Hoshi.

"I think that the idea that she's an insecure linguist who finds herself on this ship is getting less and less play," he says. "We had enough of that in the first and second season. She's going to become a bit more seasoned and hopefully we'll get a lot more use of her."

Read more from Berman about "The Expanse" and the forthcoming STAR TREK NEMESIS DVD in excerpts from the interview at Sci-Fi Pulse. "The Expanse" airs May 21st on UPN.

Quoting Rick Berman:
"I think that the idea that she's an insecure linguist who finds herself on this ship is getting less and less play,"

So, does that mean that Hoshi is going to become a cunning linguist now?

Why space legs?

I thought the idea of an insecure linguist sounds better than a rock solid linguist. I'd like to see more troubles in communicating with aliens, by a competent but struggling character on mankinds first space exploration tour. It would be a more unique character. One doesn't get nerves of metal unless born with them!

.....on his website he stated that he thought Hoshi got her space legs too fast. Berman now says she'll get them in S3? Do these guys even talk? ;-)
