News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer
- Thread starter Laura Cynthia Chambers
- Start date
I have no inside info, and decinitely overstated it in my post, but my understanding was that the fan support for a Pike show was indeed a factor in getting it greenlit.
(1) Not sure I'd want to see the actors' images alongside their names in the titles, (it's a bit 80s) but I get why he did it. Also the 47 Executive producers would all want their faces in there as well.
(2) Uniforms - clever move toward the Discovery era uniform designs.
(3) Young Sarek - I know small universe syndrome and all that, but it was still a relatively small universe at this era. Opportunities to see T'Pau again if she is still first minister.
(4) Theme music - clunky undefined start - maybe the Courage fanfare or a note from Archer's theme to open it. I like how it resolves at the end - simple and clean, unlike the way Jeff Russo has to put a massive full stop on anything he writes.
(5) Admiral Shran
The insertion of the clip with T'Pol and the Tellarites, made me wonder if a title sequence including more montages of the NX-01's significant moments, but with design similar to how Enterprise tackled clips of prior human exploration, would also work.

NCIS is still doing it.
I don't think there's ever been a show which has put an image of the producers in the credits.
If it were up to me I'd use the Federation anthem from DS9 as a theme but that would involve royalty complications.
Which aren't insurmountable. After all, the theme for Picard in the first two seasons is a tune created specifically for The Inner Light.
It is? The only part of Picard's main theme that I recognised from anything else was a few notes of the TNG theme, played on flute as a homage to the Inner Light but I don't hear any of the Inner Light's score in it.
Jay Chattaway was even listed in the credits of Picard's first two seasons for his work on that tune.
I never noticed that before, I wonder why they chose to incorporate that instead of the main Inner Light theme. Still really cool though, I thought the Chattaway credit was because part of the TNG theme was used.
So I guess it comes down to who it is that wants royalties and how much. Getting Tom Paris and T'Pol didnt stop us from getting more Locarno and T'Pau at the end of the day.
Way too many Archers in the cast: Archer, his wife, three biological kids and one adoptive kid. Down on including Sarek. (18 and already in the diplomacy game???) Up for Stashwick’s character.
You're going to have to check with Susman on that, he's the one who gave the series premise info to the guy who made the video.
All the characters talked about are in the pitch that Sussman & Bakula presented to Paramount a couple of years ago.
They want people to keep watching.
If I knew Mike, I’d definitely be giving notes.
That said. I get they want a West Wing vibe, but Bartlet family drama isn’t why folks tuned in. We were there for CJ, Toby and Josh as much as Jed. I’m not seeing “staffer energy” in the STU line up. If the show is “Star Trek United” they need more aliens, but not more Vulcans. Why can’t the adoptive son be an Andorian or a Tellerite? And if we’re fan servicing, why not Director of Federation Security Malcolm Reed, Foreign Secretary Hoshi Sato, Surgeon General Phlox or Chief of Staff Travis Mayweather
So which 'fanwank' is better, yours or Sussmans?If I knew Mike, I’d definitely be giving notes.

It was a pitch to get in the door with Paramount, it's anybody's guess as to how it would have actually played out once in production.
Jay Chattaway didn't write any part of the TNG theme. He first worked for the show in the third year.
Mine of course, because it's mineSo which 'fanwank' is better, yours or Sussmans?

. Truth be told I'd rather not see the other. Enterprise characters in United. But also don't like half the cast being Archer's relatives. Unless they want to call it "Star Trek: Archer.
Ahh it's all making sense now
That they're using AI to advertise this concept shows how little faith TPTB have in it.
