Subject: Scott interview!

The following interview comes from a larger article that will appear in the next issue of Star Trek: Communicator and can be found online at

http://talk.trekweb.com/articles/2001/10/04/1002224678.html

>>The issue goes on to feature interviews with the entire cast, starting with Scott Bakula:

"My biggest fear coming here was that the [stage] crew that's been here forever, and had just rolled over the last huge VOYAGER episode and had a week off and were back shooting the pilot, would be, like, 'Yeah, just get in the chair, whatever, and we'll shoot you.' But they are so jazzed and excited... it's been great so far."
[...]

If Archer is to be the closest thing to the bare-knuckled Kirk since James T. himself, that equals a lot of what Hollywood calls "running and jumping." "I just heard that I get my ass kicked in the next episode, actually!" Bakula laughs (in "The Andorian Incident"). "It's pretty physical. And they're enjoying writing to that... the pilot was very physical.

[...]

The Hollywood trade papers reported in May that the actor had been seeking greater creative input into his captain than past TREK leads, but today he waves that off as untrue.

"The only creative stake I have i nit is I want it to be as good as it can be," he emphasizes. "Rick and Brannon and I talk about character and plot and all that stuff, but not in any kind of a 'veto power' way."

[...]

If fans don't see him in person or online right away, this asured veteran of the Leapers' conventions asks for their patience. "I have no plans right now," he smiles. "My goal right now is to give everything I can to each episode and really get the show off to a great start, promote that, and let everybody get their feet underneath them. Then we'll see where everything else takes us. I want to deliver a great show and hopefully a great captain and continue the tradition."
