"Star Trek: Enterprise" Travels Back in Time
Written 10-05-2003 by ChrisFaile

Earlier this week, MediaWeek�s Mark Berman joked that it�s �too bad Scott Bakula can't leap back into an older - and better - edition of �Star Trek.�� Well, at least producers are trying in part to acquiese the trade writer. In the eleventh episode of the new season, �Star Trek: Enterprise� is boldly going�back in time. Detroit, circa 2004, to be exact.

According to official casting documents obtained by FilmJerk.com, producers for the UPN series are looking to cast a villain for an episode entitled �Carpenter Street,� which will film between October 10 through 20.

According to these documents, which are used by actor�s agents to match up their clientele with roles currently up for audition, the series is seeking a star name for �a villain,� a role described as being between the wide-set ages of 25 and 40. This as-yet-unnamed guest star serves as the impetus for bringing the fleet�s lead characters back to the Motor City. He is described as �slimy, contemporary, and urban petty criminal.�

According to TrekWeb, the episodes focuses on �a Xindi agent in Detroit must be stopped from funneling unsuspecting people to their deaths, using a blood bank as a cover.� According to the news item there, Archer and T'Pol must travel back in time to stop him. It is unknown at this time how the �unnamed villain� above plays into this plot.

While in scenic Detroit, the series� stars will encounter a pair of prostitutes, a panhandler, police officers and an impoverished and wheelchair-bound middle-aged man named �Strode.�

Last Wednesday�s episode of the series came in sixth among the major broadcast networks (out of six), drawing 4.52 million viewers.
