Subject: Interview with Scott Bakula about last week's ep. ( The time travelin' ep....that i missed) !

Star Trek Host: Next week's episode is "Carpenter Street." In this episode, you travel back to the year 2004. Do you feel that Star Trek tends to rely too much on time travel for story ideas?

SB: Well, I think that they successfully introduced the idea of time travel in this franchise very well through the Suliban and their mysterious leader, and then crewman Daniels. So it doesn't seem to be coming out of thin air. Obviously it's something you want to be careful of, and yet at the same time I'm told that the fans love the time travel episodes, and there's certainly an effort on Rick and Brannon's part to write things that they hope the fans will love.This particular journey back in time is very grounded in story. It could have been back to any time in Earth's history, just coincidentally, they picked today.

Q: How was portraying Earth a year from now in "Carpenter Street"? Did it present challenges?

SB: No. I think one of the reasons that they picked 2004 is that, in terms of production value, it was easily accomplished. And the other reason is, I think, because the episode deals with germ warfare, and that certainly is a relevant topic today.
