Star Trek: Writers and Actors on StrikeWith the WGA and SAG-AFTRA on strike, there are both immediate and potential future effects on the Star Trek franchise and fandom. With the caveat that these are minor matters compared to the larger issues labor-management issues involved, the trio looks at how current, completed (but unaired), and planned Trek series will be changed. Adding these issues to the current challenges facing Paramount+ (and Paramount, in general) ... it's a strange, new world out there.The trio also share their thoughts about season four of "Star Trek: Enterprise", in light of the passing of showrunner Manny Coto.

October is upon us and we here at Cinema Degeneration thought it was time for another Appreciation Month topic! We bring to you a celebration of 'Single Serving Slashers', slasher movies that never got a sequel. There are plenty of chapters in the sagas of Chucky, Jason, and Freddy; however, we wanted to honor those often overlooked slashers that only graced the screen in one thrilling film. For our 6th episode of colorful killers we drop our first slasher from the 90's with "DR GIGGLES" from 1992. Directed by Manny Coto and starring the incomparable Larry Drake at the titular Dr. Giggles. This comic book tale disguised as a horror movie is about a madman, who believes he's a doctor, returning to his hometown for a killing spree. This is a favorite of ours here and we're absolutely thrilled to bring you our take on the gigling and one liner spouting killer Dr. Rendell and his exploits of mayhem! Join our hosts Cameron Scott and Tom Komisar of the Grindhouse Pizzeria show as they take a deep dive into this underappreciated thriller that's an all new prescription for terror! "If you think that's bad, wait until you get my bill."

Join hosts Brian Volk-Weiss and Mary Jo & John Tenuto as they take a deep dive into episode 9 of the documentary series where they discuss Enterprise and more with writer, director and producer Manny Coto! Plagued by fledgling UPN's underperformance, Enterprise's premise (a prequel about the Federation's founding) was undercut by the decision to make the third season a reaction to 9/11. Lackluster ratings meant Captain Archer and his crew would only get four seasons. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Jack Bauer and Jonathan Archer. Premiering just after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Enterprise took another two seasons to fully engage with the radically changed real world in its storytelling. When the show did reveal its own 9/11 story in the third season, it followed in the wake of another intensely serialized, monster-hit TV show: 24. Jack Bauer might seem an unlikely model for a Starfleet captain, but throughout the course of the Xindi arch Jonathan Archer found himself repeating many of Bauer's signature moves—including torture and cold-blooded killing In this episode of Primitive Culture, host Duncan Barrett is joined by 24 aficionado Lee Hutchison to compare and contrast the two shows' approaches to dramatizing the momentous events of the time. We discuss how Manny Coto and Brannon Braga went on to breathe new life into 24 once Star Trek: Enterprise was canceled, whether the problematic aspects of both series are, to some extent, explained by the hawkish mood of the time, and whether Archer and Bauer are actually more similar than they first appear.

Un medico pazzo, una città terrorizzata, un film pazzesco e ovviamente dimenticato dalla maggioranza degli spettatori ignoranti. Dr. Giggles è la storia del dottor Rendell, intenzionato a portare la salute, a modo suo, nella cittadina di Moorehigh. Gli attrezzi del mestiere sono, tra gli altri, il termometro affilato come un rasoio, la sega circolare, il mega cerotto (fantastico!!!) e via discorrendo. Una pellicola carica di atmosfera e black humor, molto in voga a quei tempi. La dark Horse, casa editrice di fumetti, produce una storia che sa di già visto, ma che possiede alcuni elementi di originalità e ha il suo punto di forza nel non prendersi troppo sul serio. La scena è tutta per Larry Drake nei panni del folle villain dal camice bianco (Il Robert Durant di Darkman, per intenderci...) e alcune scene sono davvero ben girate e messe in scena, grazie all'estro di Coto. Una piccola perla da riscoprire, senza dubbio, con una colonna sonora particolarmente orecchiabile e titoli di testa stuzzicanti.
On Today's Episode, we discuss the spin-off to the anthology series American Horror Story (AHS), American Horror Stories (AHSies). The key difference: the spin-off doesn't retain the same storyline past one or two episodes. The segments are self-contained, like Black Mirror, or Into the Dark, or Solos. This marks the second Ryan Murphy show we've reviewed after Ratched. “Drive In” – the third episode of this first season, written by Manny Coto and directed by Eduardo Sanchez, is about a film that turns people into zombies. Have a great weekend!
Ah, la joie des colos de vacances d’antan, où ados et monos se faisaient allègrement débiter en tranches par un psychopathe masqué. Ou bien la nostalgie des années fac, où d’accortes étudiantes se faisaient larder de coups de couteau par des binoclards revanchards. Vous l’avez compris, l’équipe du PIFFFcast se penche avec allégresse sur le genre séminal du slasher en exhumant quelques incontournables ou classiques oubliés d’un genre trop souvent rabroué.

The ghost of Roger Ebert did us a favor this month by randomly selecting what may be the most underrated movie we've ever covered. Manny Coto's Dr. Giggles (1992) is so much fun and insanely self-aware. If you haven't seen it, you should fix that. *Dr. Giggles © 1992 Largo Entertainment.

Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan & Elio LLeo Star Trek Gets Political *GASP* By Elio Lleo Although the United States General Elections happened a month ago -- and Joe Biden is our President Elect -- all eyes are focused on the state of Georgia where a critical run-off election is about to take place in January. Two seats are up for grabs in the Senate… two. very. important. seats. So, just because you might have already voted, your state's been counted, and recounted, and counted again… that doesn't mean you shouldn't care about what's going on in Georgia… Especially when Star Trek gets involved. On December 12th, a virtual event will take place with guests that include fan favorites from all generations of Trek. TOS's George Takei. TNG's Frakes, McFadden, Burton, Spinner. NuTrek's Pill, Cruz, Rap, Cabrera, Martin-Green. That's just naming a few. Headlined by one of Georgia's leading activists and former gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams, the goal is to raise funds for the two Democratic Candidates, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. For more information on how you can watch the event and show your support visit the ActBlue website and donate! According to Deadline “Tickets start at $5 per person, at the “Tribble” level, and rise to $500 per person at the “Vulcan” level. Proceeds go to the Georgia Senate Victory Fund.” Image of U.S. Senate Raphael Warnock, left, and Jon Ossoff, right Via Deadline Mike McMahon Inks a New Deal With ViacomCBS By Elio Lleo & Jake Morgan So -- Star Trek: Lower Decks has had a couple months to simmer in the grander lexicon of Star Trek television. It turns out, the show, and its creator, are nowhere near being done. Variety's Will Thorne reports Mike McMahan has just signed a two-year deal with Paramount/CBS. The announcement was made by CBS Studios Senior Vice President Alec Botnick, who said of the signing ”We feel so fortunate that Mike chose to partner with us for this next stage of his career. He is a true savant whose passion for and knowledge of animation is inspirational. Being able to be a part of his journey and helping him realize the stories he wants to tell, and how he wants to tell them is the reason many of us got into this business.”. The deal locks up the creator/writer for two years, and includes exclusive rights to produce all of McMahon's TV content. McMahon expressed his feelings on the signing, saying ”I'm so excited to continue my television journey with my friends at CBS. I've always wanted to be allies with a corporation whose logo is a giant, unblinking eye. I think we'll be able to make some truly weird stuff together.” Mike McMahan via Variety The Orville Restarts Production By Jake Morgan If Star Trek: Discovery or its counterpart Star Trek: Picard aren't reaching your nostalgic Star Trek itch, The Orville is likely your go-to back-scratcher - and if that's the case, we've got some good news for you. Season 3 has begun filming! The Orville's official twitter handle tweeted on December 4th ”And we're back! Season 3 filming has officially started. #TheOrville

Having spoken to and worked with hundreds of people worldwide over the last six months, if there’s one constant to the ever-changing landscape of 2020, it’s that this global pandemic has been a magnifying glass amplifying every tiny little detail about our lives (and society at large) that just wasn’t working. For many this intense awareness has been paralyzing while for others it’s been a motivating call to action. So what’s the difference for those who feel stuck versus those who take action and see results? Maybe you’re sick of being stuck on the wrong career path and feeling desperate to pursue your true passion, but you’re too afraid to take action because you’re waiting to “see how things work out?” Maybe you’re anxious about work swallowing up what semblance of life you have outside your career…especially now that you’re stuck working from home? Or maybe you are so overwhelmed about all the uncertainties and unknowns that you feel paralyzed and unable to focus on anything but just getting through another day. Yes, pandemic-induced procrastination is indeed a thing. If any of these sound like you, I have three amazing guests on today’s show that know exactly how you feel. Ariel Fujita is an unscripted editor making the transition to colorist. Maxton Weller is a sound editor and composer for films and video games, and Kristi Shimek is an indie film editor transitioning to scripted television. This episode is a case study where I speak candidly with all three who are members of the Optimizer community who have successfully navigated the challenges of being an introvert, who have battled the perfectionism that holds us back from accomplishing our goals, and who can relate to how imposter syndrome keeps us stuck in the wrong career path. And we discuss the strategies and methods they all implemented to work through these common pitfalls to feel confident and clear, not only about what they want in life but more importantly, how to actually live it. All three guests have recently completed my coaching & mentorship program, put in a lot of hard work, and have achieved amazing results…while by the way, living through a global pandemic. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here’s What You’ll Learn: The serendipitous timing of how Maxton ended up starting coaching with Zack when he needed it most. The separate but eerily similar stories of how Ariel and Kristi both almost skipped Zack’s Networking for Introverts seminar because they were too shy and scared. Why Ariel struggled with burnout and the mind-set shift she had to make to overcome the endless cycle. KEY TAKEAWAY: Learning to ask the right questions will improve the quality of your life and the connections you make. Why building confidence requires a deep dive into your psychology and your motivations. The number one thing you need to get better at before you can even start networking. How to stop waiting for focus to magically appear and instead learn to train it. What you need to implement systems to improve time management and keep you accountable. What a brain dump is and why doing it regularly will alleviate stress and anxiety. Why doing a daily wrap up is essential for setting boundaries especially when working from home. How Kristi got back her nights and weekends by setting expectations at the start of a job. What Maxton’s IMDB spreadsheet revealed to him and how it led to a relationship with a composer he’s admired for years. Maxton’s revelation about outreach emails: “It’s not IF people want to help you, it’s CANthey help you” What transformed Kristi from being afraid to send outreach emails to doing it every single week and getting a 100% response rate. The magic formula to writing successful outreach emails. The Ben Franklin Effect: what it is and how it helps you build relationships. Maxton’s advice: Don’t wait to see what happens. Take action. Ariels’ advice: Why not do the scariest thing at the scariest time to get where you want to be.

She got her start as a Post Production Assistant and has taken on many different roles throughout her career: Post Production Coordinator, Assistant Editor, Off-line editor, and On-line Editor. Ariel’s editing credits include Are You The One? (MTV), America’s Next Top Model (VH1), and Last Call With Carson Daly (NBC). After working primarily in off-line post production, she has recently made the transition to on-line editing and she hopes to eventually pursue a career as a colorist for scripted television and independent films. Ariel lives in Los Angeles with her wife and their five cats. When she’s not working, she enjoys watching horror films and she makes a killer mac and cheese. KRISTI SHIMEK Kristi Shimek is a Los Angeles based Film and Television Editor. Within her first year of moving to Hollywood, she was cutting indie features in the LA circuit with stars such as Lou Diamond Phillips, Danny Trejo, Lea Thompson, and Nicolas Cage. Recently, Kristi has edited on two breakout feature film successes. The Night Clerk , a character based thriller directed by Michael Christofer (Original Sin, T he Witches of Eastwick ) and starring Tye Sheridan, Ana de Armas, and Helen Hunt, which reached #5 on Netflix’s Top Ten List in June 2020. And Inheritance, a narrative commentary on patriarchy and privilege directed by Vaughn Stein (Terminal) and starring Simon Pegg and Lily Collins, which was featured at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. In addition to films, Kristi has just finished editing on her first network television show, NEXT, a near-future tech based drama created and executive produced by Manny Coto and starring John Slattery, which is set to debut on October 6th on Fox. MAXTON WALLER Maxton Waller is a composer and multi-instrumentalist living in Los Angeles, California with a formidable output and unparalleled work ethic. He has been writing and performing music professionally since the age of 10. In 2007, he moved to Los Angeles and got his start in good old-fashioned rock and roll. After a few cross-country tours, he leapt to film/interactive and never looked back. You can hear his work across television and the internet; the Hulu Original Series “RocketJump: The Show”, Stan Lee’s animated series “Cosmic Crusaders”, Nickelodeon’s animated series “Rainbow Rangers”, and literally (not metaphorically) dozens of YouTube videos with views in the hundreds of millions. In addition to this, Maxton has written songs placed in the Netflix Original Series “Marvel’s The Defenders”, CBS’ reboot of “MacGyver”, “Video Game High School”, “Sons of Anarchy”, The MLB network, and countless others. He has studied at some of the greatest schools in the country; The Musician’s Institute and the Berklee College of Music. Maxton is highly-regarded for his deep understanding of audio, easy-going personality, and fast turnaround. There’s a reason you’ll see the same studios hire him repeatedly – Maxton is a musical force of nature and he elevates every project he works on. Show Credits: This episode was edited by Curtis Fritsch, and the show notes were prepared by Debby Germino and published by Glen McNiel. The original music in the opening and closing of the show is courtesy of Joe Trapanese (who is quite possibly one of the most talented composers on the face of the planet).

Thrill as Manny Coto (of "24" fame) desperately tries to save the ailing series by utterly jettisoning the Temporal Cold War non-story. And he does it by riffing on TOS' "Patterns of Force" (aka the Nazi episode), which is a wild choice but ok. There's not-quite-Reman bat people that are trying to do... something vague that involves helping the Germans win WW2 with space guns.

The Cloud Minders. Kirk has a history of getting involved in the domestic disputes of other worlds and trying to set the locals straight. That's why the little Federation clean-up ship is always trailing the Enterprise. Of course, when the planet in question is a member of the Federation, is refusing to do its part to help another member world, and is torturing its own people, it's a lot easier to justify stepping in. That's what happened in the third-season episode “The Cloud Minders.” In this episode of The Ready Room, host C Bryan Jones is joined by Zachary Fruhling, Amy Nelson, and Justin Oser to discuss this story of a city in the sky, cave dwellers, the stratification of society, and deadly gas. Along the way we debate what it means to be part of the United Federation of Planets, how laws might apply to such a vast political organization, and why Spock is so flirty when his head is in the clouds. In our news segment, we examine Mike Okuda's new design for NASA's flight operations emblem, talk about the winners of the Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE, and explore what it will take to make a Star Trek-style medical tricorder a reality.

ANDELMAN: Well, I look at Barack Obama, and it seems like he’s had a very smooth sail in these first months of his presidential campaign, and it seems to me, and maybe I’m alone, that a lot of it has to do with “24” making it very comfortable for America to have an African-American president, twice even. FURY: Interesting. Interesting premise. Well, I’d like to think that we’ve, as a country we’ve become more comfortable with the idea of bringing in presidential candidates from different walks of life, whether they be black or women or Asian or anything. If “24” has anything to do with it? All the better. I’d love to think that we’ve, to some extent we’ve matured enough that people are open to the idea. ANDELMAN: It’s interesting. I mean, there hasn’t really been a situation in years past where an African-American would play the President and it wouldn’t be like a big deal, but now it’s like…. FURY: Well, there was Deep Impact I remember which had Morgan Freeman as President. My God, I would have voted for him right there if Morgan Freeman had run, such an excellent presidential candidate. Or James Earl Jones years ago in a movie called The Man. ANDELMAN: I remember that. FURY: I remember that, as well, so I don’t think we’re the first, certainly, to do it, but perhaps…. ANDELMAN: No, but it’s very matter of fact in “24.” I think in those previous settings, it was more, you know, “What?” FURY: Well, certainly in The Man, it was very much evident that this was a racial issue and was telling a racial story. Morgan Freeman was handled matter-of-factly, and certainly David Palmer has been on the show. You may be right, you may have something to that. ANDELMAN: Well, I do think you guys should get a commission. I think you should look into that. FURY: All right. ANDELMAN: I hear a lot that Republicans tend to love “24” because of its kind of take-no-shit approach to terrorism, and I wondered if the creative staff has a noticeable political bent. FURY: Well, certainly a couple members of our staff lean very heavily toward the right, as there are a couple members that lean very heavily toward the left. We have a wide diversity of different political viewpoints. I don’t think Republicans, just simply Republicans love the show. I have heard that people as diverse as Barbra Streisand is apparently a big fan of the show. ANDELMAN: I didn’t mean to suggest that only Republicans, by no means, but… FURY: Everybody likes to filter their viewing of “24” through their own viewpoint, and we try to give a very diverse viewpoint on the show. Republicans will certainly embrace some of the more right wing aspects of “24,” the take-no-prisoners approach to terrorism, and there are others who recognize that that doesn’t work all the time. What you really have is somebody like Jack Bauer, who is serving the greater good but who has no particular political bent. I mean, David Palmer, I think, was always presented as, I think, a Democratic president, and Jack’s loyalty was to him for the most part for the first few years. Our executive producer/co-creator, Joel Surnow, is very vocal about his conservative Republican leanings, and he has a lot of friends of his who do enjoy the show and do think it supports their agenda. Although many of them criticized the show earlier this year, when we did the story line about Wayne Palmer’s sister who was voicing sort of the liberal bent, and her boyfriend, who was incarcerated along with other Muslim prisoners, we suspected to be involved with terrorism and then weren’t, I know Joel got a lot of criticism that, “What, is the show starting to lean toward the left? There are good Muslims that were over-reacting?” We’re trying to say that there’s no easy answers, basically, and some people look for answers in the show, and some people recognize that that’s just not going to come. Order '24: The Complete Series,' available from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD box set above! ANDELMAN: You don’t have to answer this, but where are you in your own political leanings? FURY: I’m very moderate. I’m a registered Democrat. I suppose I’m conservative fiscally, and socially I’m much more moderate, so I am either a very liberal Republican or very conservative Democrat, I’m not quite sure. ANDELMAN: Would it be a wrong guess that, politically, those writers’ room sessions could be pretty interesting conversations? FURY: Oh, you have no idea! The debates that go on and on on a daily basis regarding whatever is going on in the current administration. There’s people, Evan Katz, another executive producer on the show, who definitely leans more toward the left, and he gets into a lot of debates with Joel and Manny Coto, another one of our co-executive producers who is a staunch Republican. And then you have somebody like Bob Cochran, the other co-creator, who is a Republican but much more moderate than other people. And then Howard Gordon, our show-runner, whose wife is very heavily involved with liberal causes -- and Howard himself is a registered Democrat -- supports Democratic causes. The conversation does lean toward political debates. ANDELMAN: Did the conversation a few months ago about torture on the show come back to the writers’ room? FURY: Oh, most definitely. We discussed it. Even when it came on and before it became an issue, before it was made into a news issue, the discussion whether torture works, about whether it should ever be used, and the moral ramifications. We discussed that at great length. Once it became more of an issue, I found myself defending our approach to it on a podcast and wound up on CNN News as the “writers of ‘24’ speak up on this controversy.” My contention was simply that we’re not trying to present a documentary or a realistic approach to fighting terrorism, we’re producing an evening of entertainment, and liberties have to be taken. The whole structure of the show, the ticking time clock and Jack Bauer fighting it the entire season, that’s something that just doesn’t happen in real life. There is no ticking clock, so there’s never any need to torture someone to get information out of them so quickly. You have to create scenarios where that would have to be, and at that point, you’re speaking in hyperbole. ANDELMAN: I find the recovery from some of the torture sometimes to be entertaining. I keep thinking back to poor Morris getting that drill through his shoulder, but there he is back at work a few hours later (laughs). FURY: Well, he’s a strong man, that Morris. Again, it’s the real challenge of the show, and certainly we’ve taken a lot more liberties later than earlier in the earlier years of the show where people do have to bounce back so that we can bring them back into the story. It’s very difficult if someone is tortured. Generally speaking, they’d be hospitalized, and you wouldn’t see them for several days, but of course, in a 24-hour period, you have to find ways to re-integrate them, and sometimes it takes a lot of suspension of disbelief to get those people back. Poor Milo was shot, and there he is with a sling, still back at work. We just have to chalk it up to, “Well, we’re understaffed, and we need you, and this is an emergency situation, and normally, we’d let you rest, but you can’t now.” ANDELMAN: Well, and how often does Jack get hit in the head with a heavy metal object…. FURY: Oh, well, sure. My God, Jack never died and was revived and picked up a gun and went after the bad guys again. ANDELMAN: Well, now, it’s funny you mentioned that, because I wanted to ask you the thing that has always driven me crazy, and I mean in a good way as a viewer, is that the CTU staff seems to have the worst institutional security in America. I mean, there’s spies, there’s moles, there’s data taps, and God forbid you’re a high-threat suspect and you get brought back to CTU for questioning, because you or somebody is going to die, right? FURY: Yeah, that’s usually the case. The justification that’s been given to me when I bring these things up is that CTU is really an intelligence-gathering organization, and organizations like that aren’t really heavily fortified security-wise. I mean, certainly we do an excessive amount of it, but the idea that CTU cannot be breached because it’s such a top government agency is probably over-stating it, since what they mostly do, they are a branch office of an anti-terrorist intelligence-gathering organization. They do have a task force, but if we need their systems to be tapped for a story, we’ll do it. If we need someone to get into CTU to stage a gas attack, that’s going to be a lot more interesting than saying, “Well, it’s impossible to get into CTU, no one would ever be able to do that.” We have to make allowances like that for dramatic purposes. Well, it does make CTU look a little, well, inept, you know, and again, it’s the alternative is, well, if we show them bei
24 Faithful Podcast: in partnership with the TVShow Time app
24 Legacy: Manny and Evan Welcome to 24 Faithful, the unofficial podcast for Fox’s show 24. My name is Joshua Rivers and I am your host. In the last episode, Mark Sieverkropp and Bradley Adams joined me to discuss some things about the upcoming 24: Legacy season. We are less than a week from this airing, and we will be back next week to cover the first two episodes, so make sure to stay tuned and be ready to share your thoughts and reactions as well. In the last episode of the podcast, we also mentioned a new partner, TVShow Time from Whipclips. It’s an awesome app that does several things. First of all, you find the shows that you are currently watching, or even shows that you have already watched. You can mark the episodes and seasons that you have seen. Then you can also get involved in some discussions with others that love the show as well. They are starting to integrate certain podcasts into the app as well, and that’s where we come in! Be sure to check out the TVShow Time app and join the discussion there. You can go to 24faithful.com/tvshowtime. Another awesome part of this partnership is that Whipclips has connections to the TV show networks. As a result, they can get exclusive interviews with the showrunners and other crew members. Today we are sharing one such interview. They were able to interview Manny Coto and Evan Katz. They are both producers and writers for the show and share some personal insights about the show’s past and future.
Manny Coto Interview. If you had Manny Coto sitting across from you, what would you ask him? What would you want to talk about with the show runner for Star Trek: Enterprise's Season Four? Would you have questions about Season Five? Would you ask him about his plans for the Romulans? Would you like to know what he thought about "These Are the Voyages?" In this episode of Warp Five, host Floyd Dorsey is joined by Brandon-Shea Mutala as they chat with Manny Coto.

Dr. Giggles. Running Time: 35 minutes 20 seconds Before putting his stamp on Season 4 of Star Trek: Enterprise, Manny Coto was the director of a number of lower budget horror movies from the 1990s. The best known of these was Dr. Giggles. The film features Voyager guest star Larry Drake as the title character, a serial killer who murders his victims through the use of modified medical techniques. In this episode of Stage Nine, John and Mike... examine... Coto's slasher movie. We discuss its place in horror film history, the use of comedy in the horror genre, and the evolution of Coto's career.

What if Future Guy was a Romulan agent? The Temporal Cold War was a promising, yet inconsistent storytelling device throughout the four seasons of Enterprise. Despite its many narrative challenges, the Temporal Cold War did provide the series with a few interesting world-building elements, in particular - the agents of the Temporal Accords; pawns of a greater and more far reaching endgame. So we have circled back to the Future Guy, trying to pierce his veil of mystery and that of the faction or agency for which he served. (cough) Tal'Shiar (cough) During 2009's Star Trek VegasCon, former Enterprise show runners Manny Coto and Brannon Braga stated that Future Guy was trending towards being a Romulan agent because this would have created an opportunity to tie him into the famed Romulan War, instigating certain events in Archer's time. Years later, Braga tweeted in 2012, that Future Guy was supposed to be Archer all along - trying to right his own wrongs when he was Captain of the NX-01!

Enterprise Season Five. Like all the modern Star Trek series, Enterprise was firing on all cylinders by Season Four. Under the guidance of Manny Coto, the show was creating a stronger connection to TOS and was planting the seeds of some amazingly rich storylines for the final three seasons. Unfortunately, those seeds were left behind in the soil of cancellation. In this episode of Warp Five, Christopher Jones and Tyler Johnson pick storylines that we wanted to see make up the fifth season of Enterprise and how the seeds planted in Season Four could have sprouted into some of the best Star Trek ever produced.
Few aspects of Enterprise—and perhaps of Star Trek as a whole—have been more controversial than the show’s third season. The 26-episode arc is an outlier in a number of ways. It was the first (and only) time a season-long arc was attempted in Star Trek, and it also focuses on aliens and events with no connection to the rest of the franchise. Some fans love it. Some fans hate it. In this episode of Warp Five we’re joined by Larry Nemecek to discuss the third season of Enterprise, the pressure from Les Moonves that Berman and Braga were under, the validity of the creative choices made and the roads not taken, and whether or not a more TOS-centric approach might have saved the show from cancellation. We also look at how the third season led creatively into the fourth, the goals of the writing staff—including Manny Coto and David A. Goodman—and we dive into a few of our favorite episodes from Season Three, including “Similitude” and “North Star.” Originally published as Warp Five 24: The Gauntlet Thrown Down.

Similitude. About halfway through the Xindi arc, Enterprise took a break the search for the weapon and presented a story that was very traditional Star Trek. In exploring the ethical quandary of creating life simply to harvest tissue from it, Enterprise did what Star Trek does at its best. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Doug Mirabello and José Muñoz to discuss this episode, “Similtude,” how it represents a turning point for the series by planting the seeds of Manny Coto's influence, and how it fits into the overall Xindi arc. In news we cover a TNG 25th Anniversary lithograph from Bye Bye Robot, new collectibles and reissues from Diamond Select, the danger real-life warp drive could pose to planets, the results of another series preference poll, and some movie news and rumours. Could we be seeing the end of Quinto's Spock?
In a Mirror, Darkly. When it launched, there was great promise that Enterprise would build a bridge between our own time and the world of TOS. And while that never really happened, the fourth season brought us the most extensive look at the 23rd century since the original crew left the big screen. With the two-part “In a Mirror, Darkly,” Manny Coto, Mike Sussman, and the Enterprise creative team poured all of their love for The Original Series into a sequel to “The Tholian Web.” The results were visually amazing, but the story itself didn't quite reach the same heights. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Michael Fisher and Brian Finifter to discuss the good and the bad of “In a Mirror, Darkly.” In news we cover Neil deGrasse Tyson and whether the orginal 1701 is the best starship ever created, the TNG Season One Blu-ray price drop and the preview of Season Two, the launch of Star Trek Online Season 6: Under Siege, Hallmark's 2012 and 2013 Star Trek ornaments, and we delve into the Star Trek 2013 title debate and try to figure out just what “reservation” J.J. is keeping the cast and crew on.

These Are the Voyages… Enterprise was a series that was often misunderstood and was cancelled before its time. Under the guidance of Manny Coto, the fourth season saw the series finding solid footing as a TOS prequel. Bit by bit we were building toward the founding of the Federation and setting up Kirk's era. Sadly they ran out of time and hastily ended the series with a very misguided finale titled “These Are the Voyages…” also known as the 177th episode of TNG. In this episode of The Ready Room we discuss the Enterprise finale, which has been explained as an intended “valentine” to Star Trek. In news we look at the upcoming HeroClix Star Trek edition, Star Trek Online Free-to-Play details and changes to the game's economy, the possible cancellation of Star Trek Infinite Space, Carrie Fisher's response to William Shatner on Star Trek vs. Star Wars, Google+, and we preview two tracks from Five Year Mission's upcoming album Year Two.
