Shatner and Bakula at the same time? Hand me the morphine.
Looking ahead to what we can all now confidently say is going to be ENTERPRISE’s fourth season. Berman confirmed that he had indeed been in talks with TREK star William Shatner about a guest starring role in Enterprise, and is hoping to fit a William Shatner Guest appearance into Enterprise’s 4th season.“Bill is busy doing ‘The Practice’ right now, and he’s going to be doing the spin – off next season.” Berman said. “We have had discussions in the last week, when we were talking with the studio about areas and directions we would like to go in next season, and there were two different ideas that we think could be developed into a good vehicle for Bill. And hopefully we’re going to pursue one of them for next season.”
You know it had to happen. The Next Generation got Nimoy and Doohan (and a cameo from Kelley in the pilot). DS9 got gumped into “The Trouble With Tribbles.” And Voyager... well, they got John DeLancie as Q. And they were damned happy to get him, too.
So it had to happen, really. Especially with Shatner’s webpage pushing a campaign to get him on the series.
Let’s just hope that Enterprise opts to go with something cheesy – like running into Kirk’s great-grandfather. As opposed to going for el queso grande and having Kirk turn up in a time travel storyline.
I know, I know. My geek is showing.
