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.


WHEE! Maybe some old fashioned Kirk-Fu on the way! :D

Uh, Bakula said he hasn't heard a peep about Shatner being in Enterprise like 2 days ago on StarTrek.com.

Would be rather amusing.

Like how they had Michael Dorn playing that Klingon lawyer in...err....Star Trek V?

Yeah, Tim Russ (Tuvok on Voyager) played in a number of ST episodes, mostly if not all TNG I think, and then he played in ST:Generations as on of the crewman on the Enterprise-B. He had like one line...

He was Tuvok on the Ent-B in the film and in an ep of Voyager. It was his first cruise or something.

Technically, but Voyager changed him to a Vulcan

That was Tuvok?  Well thats cool..  Why didn't Voyger play that up more?

Post by: an0n on May 27, 2004, 04:04:17 pm
Because he spoke with surprising emotion in his one line. So if they'd drawn too much attention to it......

He was on the Excelsior (Excelsior was Sulu's command, Ent-B was Captain Calamity) in that Voyager episode. His "presence" on the B has never been explained beyond that fact his ears ain't pointy, and so he was not Tuvok - just playing a random bridge crew.

I bet they could think up some 'Section 31' or 'Starfleet Intelligence' excuse if they put their minds to it.

S31 was good in a dark way - I just wish they had been used better as a plot device. Dark Trek (as I call star trek's vain attempts at being gritty) can be quite cool.

no, It was Tuvok. And his ears being pointy and him showing emotion doesn't mean a thing. how much star trek have you guys actually watched? how many times was there some funny disease or plastic surgery that does those kind of thing? he probably had something like...let's call it "technobabblonic plague", which alters you DNA to Human.

the correct term is "Fed-fu" :p

No, it's Kirk-Fu because we are spcifically refering to William Shatner and a potential appearance on an upcoming episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

The best example of Kirk-Fu is in the TOS episode where they beam down to the planet that makes their fantasies into reality, no matter how dangerous.  Sulu finds a revolver he's been looking for his collection, Bones sees a white rabbit while thinking about Alice in Wonderland, and Jimmy-Boy gets in a fight with ole Finnigan(who is quite funny).

'Bout 60+ odd years old by the time of Generations but still very nice. Pity it never saw any real combat action outside of The Undiscovered Country.

The one bit of Star Trek history they could/shouuld $#%# with on a TV and we'll never see it because, as good as he is, George Takei couldn't carry it, and I don't want to look at Grace Lee Whitney every week.

Tim Russ (actor who plays Tuvok) was only credited as an Ops Officer in Generations.  Just saw it here:

Thank you. If it was Tuvok, he would've been a Vulcan... at least I hope ST wouldn't mess up continuity like that.

It was Tuvok. Did you not see the Voyager episode?
Title: Kirk-Fu in Enterprise
Post by: Corhellion on May 29, 2004, 12:57:48 pm
oi...The Voyager Episode took place on the EXCELSIOR, not the ENT-B.

Also...if Tuvok was on the Ent-B...he would be...as old as Spock if not a little bit younger.

And I'm not going to rent ST:Gen just to see the beginning of the movie...although...that was one of the best parts of the movie...everything else in that movie was utter crap...compared to the other movies...to me at least...

Meh.

Being on the Enterprise-B wouldn't necesarily make him as old as Spock though.

Tuvok entered Starfleet Academy in 2289 at his parents' insistence. His mother and father were Starfleet officers and both served aboard the Excelsior-class U.S.S. Yorktown. Upon graduation in 2293 Tuvok was assigned to the U.S.S Excelsior as a junior science officer under the command of Captain Hikaru Sulu. Soon after, the crew of the Excelsior encountered a subspace shock wave resulting from the accidental destruction of the Klingons' chief energy-producing moon, Praxis. A short while later Klingon Chancellor Gorkon was assassinated and Captain James Kirk and Dr. McCoy were accused of the crime and were taken to the Klingon Homeworld to be tried. Against Starfleet orders, Captain Sulu decided to mount a rescue of Kirk and McCoy. Ensign Tuvok confronted Captain Sulu about the breach of orders but to no avail.
