Enterprise’s Scott Bakula Looks Back On “Wonderful Stuff” In His Star Trek Prequel

:0:1

Summary

Scott Bakula fondly remembers the "magic" of Enterprise's Xindi arc and the challenging scenes he got to do as Captain Archer.
Despite initially being derided, Enterprise has gained new fans and appreciation after becoming available for streaming on platforms like Netflix and Paramount+.
Fans are eager for a revival or appearances of Enterprise's cast in current Star Trek shows, though integrating them into different time periods poses a challenge.

Star Trek: Enterprise series lead Scott Bakula looks back on the "wonderful" things about the prequel show. Enterprise, as it was originally titled in its first two seasons, was the third spinoff of Star Trek: The Next Generation produced by Rick Berman. Enterprise was the first Star Trek prequel series about the 22nd-century voyages of the first Starship Enterprise, the NX-01, led by Captain Jonathan Archer (Bakula). Unfortunately, Enterprise never achieved the ratings or popularity of TNG, and Bakula's series was canceled after just 4 seasons.
In the Star Trek oral history "The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years" by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross, Scott Bakula described what he's proud of and enjoyed about Star Trek: Enterprise. Bakula looks back fondly on Enterprise's premiere episode, Captain Archer's time travel, and Enterprise season 3's Xindi arc. Read his quote below:

The whole Xindi thing really captured my imagination. Part of it was really fanciful and appropriate for the world we were in, and I felt that had a lot of magic. I thought the pilot was really great. I got to do a lot of wonderful stuff that for me was challenging. It’s why you do sci-fi: to run across a bridge while the whole thing is blowing up behind you. You only get one shot at it. That’s the kind of stuff that I love to do. All the stuff in the spacesuit, as painful as it was to do, was kind of great. The time travel stuff—I got a kick out of it. It was so wacky, but what are the odds that a guy who’s done a series as a time traveler would roll into another series so many years later and a time element is introduced again, only completely different? For sci-fi fans like myself, that was just ironic and wonderful.
