Any Enterprise references?

[blockaderunner]

I have an excerpt from the script regarding an actual reference:

Kirk emerges from one of the Academy latrines (the first ever shown in Trek)

KIRK

Man, that must've been some major Andorian burriot I had. I took a major NX-01.

MCCOY

Dammit, Jim! Light a match!

 

[blockaderunner]

There's also a scene where two main characters will be planning a strategy in the Travis Maywether Memorial Cone Of Silence.

 

[Kegek]

I don't recollect any of them saying that they've paid a whole lot of attention to Trek after TNG (maybe Orci has and I've missed it), and none of them seems to strongly prefer or dislike "Enterprise," "Voyager" or DS9.

Orci has. He did an interview on Trekmovie awhile back which included his in-brief opinions on all four series, and even respects in which this film resembled the series. He acknowledged that ENT tried what they were trying to do in grounding Star Trek in historical spaceflight, and he's also said this series will have darkness similar to DS9. Or so my memory goes (the former in reference to the trailer from a later interview, the latter from the interview in question.)

Yeah, here we go:

TrekMovie.com: You once told me that you will be putting in ‘continuity nuggets’ as little Easter eggs for the fans. Will some of those be related to the other series like TNG?

Roberto Orci: We got some TNG stuff in there for sure. I made sure of that. And there should be a little something from everything, but for me personally it is all about Next Generation and The Original Series because those are the shows that really set down the rules for Trek that the other shows picked up on. We are also trying to do a lot of what Enterprise was doing in terms of a prequel and some of the corners of Star Trek which were mainly defined by Deep Space Nine are covered to a certain degree.

And from an earlier interview:

Roberto Orci:
[on Star Trek: The Original Series]
For it’s time it made sci-fi part of television pop culture. And it was part of the civil rights movement. It was part of women’s rights. It was part of normalizing relations with the Soviet Union. It was part the ideal of a Federation/Superpower doing what is best for all life. In the 60s that was an amazing thing. It couldn’t have been more forward thinking

[on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]
With Deep Space Nine I loved that it was exploring the slightly darker side of Star Trek. It showed the cracks in the utopia which was interesting to me. It was pushing the envelope of what Star Trek originally meant.

[on Star Trek: Voyager]
Voyager I loved because it was a singular experience of being separated from utopia. It sort of played a counter point by saying ‘oh you love everything about Star Trek, what if we separate you by a zillion light years.’ And obviously I loved the idea of the first female captain. It showed that all Star Trek had that kernel of progressiveness. What they were attempting was more complicated and as such was more fraught with potential pitfalls that were difficult to navigate for any crew behind the scenes. Still inherent in it is still the love of Star Trek. A good moment on the worst Star Trek to me is better than the worst moment on any other show.

[on Star Trek: Enterprise]
I loved the idea of the danger of the first explorations into space. In a way we are very much partners with Enterprise in spirit because it is was a prequel and because it is attempting to explain the origins of Star Trek. You cannot deny that they were the first to try it. Execution aside we understand the appeal and the value of trying to show how we got to what Star Trek was. Star Trek II was about dropping some of the look and feel of what was done before and making it much more naval and like a submarine and Enterprise clearly was attempting to tap into that. In so doing, they were attempting to relate it as much as they could to our contemporary defenses and submarine captains…and that’s a cool idea.

His favorite Trek series, BTW, is apparently TNG.

I am totally unable to read this page thanks to the GIGANTIC image above. Could someone please reduce its size about 1010%? Sheesh.

Interesting avatar. First time I ever saw a starship made from a pet carry-all... hmmm...

[CommanderRaytas]

Well, the "anomaly" thing is a bit on the conspicuous side, I believe. But of course, it's a subjective thing, depends on what bothers you personally. I was thinking about something in the background you only notice after watching the dvd for the tenth time and hitting the pause button. Something like that, but nothing in a dialogue.... or anomalies.

 

[Tralah]

Hmm did TOS ever use the word "anomaly" or was that something the modern Treks brought in?

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

There's nothing inherently wrong with the word "anomaly." Now, the abuse of said word in a repetitive manner over time which serves to highlight the lack of creativity and/or "been there, done that" element of a televison series is an entirely different thing.

 

[ChristopherPike]

It was Voyager which used "anomaly" a ridiculous number of times. Cut off from atypical political stories about Trek's best known races, there was pretty much nothing else they could focus on except weird shit happening in space. Enterprise was a breath of fresh air by comparison, the exploration being far less advanced and usually from the point of view of one character at a time.

I'd like some ENT references, since it's basically an important part of Starfleet history. Throw in some 22nd Century vessels as part of the Kobayashi Maru exercise, or an old NX class for cadet training.

As long as nothing is called Archer's Arch.

What he says are kinda too obvious impressions for a person that should show creative mind. I personally ´ve got strong dislike for Orci and Kurtzman after I´ve seen Transformers. Yes, nobody has to tell me how is the material different but I still see them as incompetent duo of shallow fanboys.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Its very simple....T'Pal will turn up teaching at the academy and kirk will get his hands on some mature Vulcan ass.....to put it bluntly.

T'Pal" Ohh i remember when we launched the Enterprise, all those years ago"

Kirk" Yeah cool baby.........could you move you leg over a bi.......oh that's it........get ready baby cause daddies about to enter warp factor LORVVEEEEE"

[number6]

His T'Friend.

 

[Michael]

Oh, his T'Chick!

 

[ancient]

A reference could be anything. It could just be that the look of the Vulcan cities will be similar to the one's on Enterprise. Who knows?

She's had a name change or two.

So you're saying they are TrekBBS posters?
