News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

[Firebird]

• He liked his Malbec and steak dinners.
• The Titan-A hardly ever went exploring (even though its mission was exploration).

You’re really reaching for reasons if that’s the best you can come up with.

 

[The Gatekeeper]

The Titan-A hardly ever went exploring (even though its mission was exploration).

Shaw himself doesn't decide what the ship does, he has to follow Starfleet's orders in regards to where the ship goes and what it does. If the ship wasn't doing any exploring, it's because Starfleet wasn't giving it any exploratory assignments, which is not Shaw's fault at all. Even the Enterprise E wasn't doing any exploring, which Picard even laments about in Insurrection. Does this mean Picard was a bureaucrat who preferred the privileges of rank as opposed to the job?

He shoved the bridge crew into his ready room (where they would've been ducks in a shooting gallery for Vadic and her crew).

So what should he have done, left them on the bridge so they could have been blown out into space with Vadic?

Ships frequently wind up on missions they weren't assigned when they find something unexpected and are forced to deal with it. Granted, they may have orders to all but ignore certain things, simply informing Starfleet that a science ship should check out these neat things we found while we continue on our mission-but how often has a hero ship ever done that?- yet they often become drawn in through danger to the crew, kidnapping, firefights, etc.

In TOS and TNG the "five year mission" (and however long the E-D was supposed to be out there) to explore beyond Federation boundaries was the mission. It made things very open-ended for those crews. Just fly around and run into random shit to see what happens. If a vessel has not been given a free-range detail like that, then yes, they sit and wait for orders from Command, no matter how boring it may be.

One more example of how Starfleet is just like the military...

This pitch seems to be getting more attention from the Trek centered sites/channels than Terry's Legacy ideas did.

It's probably (a lot) more affordable.

Star Trek United would open the door to Sporting Star Trek, Real Star Trek and Star Trek FC.

This pitch seems to be getting more attention from the Trek centered sites/channels than Terry's Legacy ideas did.

One reason will be that Mike Sussman is really making the rounds, popping into online chats, making himself available for interviews for even smaller channels, handing out those drawings from Andrew Probert etc
