Old cast on-set interviews

[Mid Mod]

While searching for Enterprise clips, the YouTube algorithm resurfaced these old interviews with Connor and Jolene that were done halfway through filming S1. Does anyone know the source and if there are others like this with the rest of the cast?

These ones seem to be charmingly unrehearsed and possibly before they had much media training because some of their answers are facepalm-worthy. Such as:

Q: Are there any qualities that you have that remind you of Scotty?
Connor: None… I’m in shape.
Q: What does Enterprise bring that we’re not used to seeing in Star Trek?
Jolene: Sex.

Sorry, if this is rehashing old news. I recently rewatched Enterprise for the first time since it originally aired. I never got into the show beyond just watching it—can’t even remember if there were Enterprise guests at any of the Trek cons I’ve attended—so these interviews are all new to me.

It is interesting to see such...unpolished interviews. Feels like perhaps some of it comes from the interviewer trying to herd them into soundbite worthy answers. When Jolene talks about the Trek ep she really likes, the interviewer basically says, "Yeah, but answer my question!"

Thanks for these. I always enjoy vintage interviews with Jolene Blalock (mainly because she's not in the public eye anymore) so these are interesting.

These are just wonderful! Thanks for posting them @Mid Mod

Candid interviews like these are a great reminder that there are real people behind our favourite characters. They're just like us with their enthusiasm and (then current) inexperience, and don't seem so remote as perhaps later, more polished 'performances'.
