Reports of a statue of Archer in the Academy scenes?

[Outpost4]

...someone (from AICN I believe it was) saw a statue of Captain Archer.

How could anyone tell the difference between Captain Archer and a statue of Captain Archer?

Nice to have you back, Sam.

 

[Broccoli]

I heard it was going to be a stature of Porthos.

Actually it is a statue of Scott Bakula for his work on Quantum Leap. Nice of Starfleet to honor such a great American actor like that. They'll also have a statue of Bill Mumy.

Pre-adolescent Billy Mumy from Lost in Space, or middle-aged Bill Mumy from Babylon 5?

Both.

While clearly not a reliable source, it would be interesting if they do that.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

Nah, I don't think that's true. As much as I look forward to a reference to ENT, this would just be too cheesy (whoops, did I spell that right?).

One is stiff, unresponsive and basically just takes up space, and the other is going to be featured in Star Trek XI.

Here's the big question:

If there IS an Archer statue, will it look like Scott Bakula -- or will Archer be recast?

yes, in bronze.

I'm glad somebody was on the ball.

I want to see a statue of Mayweather. It should dramatize his signature moment in Enterprise--him staring dumbly at his console.

 

[Michael]

I for one would like a nod to Enterprise like that. I'm not sure though how one would identify it as a statue of Archer ...

The Unknown Soldier. (Even while he was still alive.)

To add clarity, a beagle would be peeing on it.

thank you! i'm here all week, try the steak!

The statue is made of substandard material and only goes up to the waist, indicating that it was canceled before it was finished.

It's basically a wooden ass on two wobbly legs.

I understood the producers were trying to stay well clear of anything ENTERPRISE-related?

No, they intimated in an early interview that there'd be some kind of homage to ENT.

Yeah, "Faith of the Heart" is the movie's theme.

At the risk of sounding like a smart-ass (because that's not my intention), maybe it will have a plaque that reads "Jonathan Archer"

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Paramount knows better then to make 90% of the audiance go: "why is there a statue of that guy from Quantom Leap in the movie?"

I think you're overestimating the number of people who remember QL well enough to recognize Bakula.

 

[T'Cal]

Wasn't there a commercial for ENT before it was aired that used the tagline: "Meet Captain Kirk's Boyhood Hero!" How about Cadet Kirk defending an action Archer took in a debate in a command-level SFA course? Maybe it concerns the time Archer destroyed a Xindi manned outpost unprovoked, killing all of its inhabitants. Kirk gets in a heated discussion with a classmate who states that that was Archer's darkest hour.
